Dacor pressure gage with LCD

[agesilaus]

I just picked up a Dacor console with a pressure gauge and depth gauge. Oddly the pressure gauge has two LCD panels set into it besides the analog pointer. One is really maybe a eighth inch square and the other a bit bigger. Any idea what these are? I saw no reaction when I pressurized the gauge to about 3000 psi. Might need a battery.

It's a bottom timer. Haven't seen one of those in about 25 years. Probably needs a battery.

It was designed to activate with depth not air pressure. Try it in the water once before changing the battery. I may have schematics in a box. Let me know if you want them and I will see if I can dig them up.

Heh, I should have thought of that. We'll check it out this weekend.

If you unscrew the protective cover on the back, you can press on the switch that turns the bottom timer on so you can check it out of the water.

It worked when we were diving off Key Largo. We all have computers but this was still a cool item to have.
