I just bought a used rEvo. It has a DiveCAN Predator controller (w/RMS, if that matters), a Predator Fischer cable monitor, and a Shearwater HUD.
The sensor tray will hold 5 sensors.
A person at Add Helium said their normal configuration for the rEvo is 4 sensors. 3 to the controller and 1 to a monitor. That seems odd, to me. I would have expected 3 to the controller and 1 to each of the Dreams, in a base eCCR config. Maybe I misunderstood what I was being told, but I am sure she said they only set them up with 4 sensors.
The instructor I will be doing my training with prefers to use 5 sensors. He said I can use 4 or 5, whichever I choose.
I expect that I will start by using 5 and setting them up the way my rEvo instructor does his. But, I would like to know the thoughts of some of the experienced rEvo divers on here regarding how I should set it up.
3 sensors to the controller is a given.
Should I run 3 sensors to the Predator monitor, so that 1 is in common with the controller?
What sensors should I run to the HUD? It will also monitor 3. Should it monitor the same 3 as one of the Predators? A unique combo of 3, that is different than either of the Predators?
Or should I run 3 to the controller and the other 2 to both the Predator monitor and the HUD?
Or only use 4 sensors?
Thanks for any insights!
