<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Tim, This altimeter is a backup analog for me as all sensors are part of my PLC system as the primary with alarms and controls per the ABS guidelines. As for moving forward, I am every day. This week primary focus is completing the foam work on the exoskeleton in preparation for the fiberglass layup. When Im waiting for the drywall mud to dry I am working on the main pilot console and dry fitting things like the PWM ( I have 5 total to mount), working magnet mounts for the firstaid and survival kits. Once I get the rear exoskeleton cast in fiberglass, I can get back to work on the HP tank piping and the rear vectored thrusters and their control mounts. Lost to to do on the list.</div><div><br> </div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Best Regards,<br>David Colombo<br><img src="http://static.squarespace.com/static/533310a9e4b0fba62008a464/t/5339c1f2e4b041bac4e25d1b/1396294132055/?format=500w" width="200" height="110"><br>804 College Ave<br>Santa Rosa, CA. 95404<br>(707) 536-1424<br><a href="http://www.SeaQuestor.com" target="_blank">www.SeaQuestor.com</a><br><br></div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Apr 22, 2020 at 12:46 PM T Novak via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-CA"><div class="gmail-m_-8409098254119402576WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">David,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">As Hank mentions it is probably not relevant what units your altimeter displays, psi or feet above/below sea level. Unlike water depth, atmospheric pressure is not linear. The ICAO standard atmosphere has sea level pressure as 14.7psi and 10.2psi at 10,000 feet asl. The altitude displayed on your gauge should provide a reasonably precise indication of cabin pressure change. I hope that your conversion requirement does not slow down your installation and operation plans.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">Tim<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><div><div style="border-color:rgb(225,225,225) currentcolor currentcolor;border-style:solid none none;border-width:1pt medium medium;padding:3pt 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif" lang="EN-US">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif" lang="EN-US"> Personal_Submersibles [mailto:<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles-bounces@psubs.org" target="_blank">personal_submersibles-bounces@psubs.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, April 22, 2020 5:04 AM<br><b>To:</b> David Colombo via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Altimeter / barometer/ inclinometer<u></u><u></u></span></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">David, I have a similar set up in E3000. I have two not so fancy altimeters. One is redundant. I don't see why it matters what the pressure is. The instrument is there to tell you if the pressure is increasing or decreasing. It does look more cool though with psi on it. Mine are mounted to the hull with magnets (Brian got me hooked on magnets) so I rotate the face to zero then rotate the altimeter so the needle is pointing strait up. This makes it real obvious when there is a pressure change.<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Hank<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div></div><div id="gmail-m_-8409098254119402576yahoo_quoted_8153574750"><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)">On Tuesday, April 21, 2020, 11:32:07 PM MDT, David Colombo via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote: <u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><div id="gmail-m_-8409098254119402576yiv8510667842"><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)">Hi Tim, thats what intrigued me about this unit.

The dial face can rotate for altitude variance for diving at sea level or lake tahoe(elev 6225ft). The dial face can be set to determine if the barometric pressure is rising or falling. I am thinking to add Alex Smyth's label to be located between the altitude and the orange dial.
