User Manual

INTERACTIVE CONTROL CONSOLE

The Interactive Control Console consists of four Control Buttons that allow you to select mode options and access specific informa-

tion.  They are also used to enter Settings, operate the Backlight, and access additional screens of information.

Throughout this manual they will be referred to as the M, S, L, and A buttons.

OPERATING MODE STRUCTURE

Unless it is operating in Free Mode, the Mundial 3 will display Watch Time (Fig. 1) like a standard Watch until the mode is 

changed. 

The A button is used to access other Watch functions that include an Alternate display, Countdown Timer, Chronograph (stop 

watch/run timer), Daily Alarm, and Time settings.  The A button also allows direct access to Log and History Modes.

The M button is used to access and return from the Free Surface Main screen.

The screens of the various modes will be displayed until a button is pressed to access another screen or mode, activate a sequence, 

or for 2 minutes if no button is pressed.  The Chronograph remains on display unless turned Off or another mode is accessed. 

When operating in Free Mode, the Mundial 3 will enter Dive Mode upon descent to the DSD (Dive Start Depth) previously set which 

can be 0.6, 1.2, or 1.8 M (meters) or 2, 4, or 6 FT (feet) for 1 second.  

See page 20 for Set DSD.

OPERATION AS A DIVING GAUGE

Entering Settings relating to diving activities is only available in Free Surface Mode which also allows access to a Countdown Timer 

(separate from the Watch CDT), Log, and History Modes. 

PC/MAC INTERFACE 

Interface with a PC or MAC, to allow uploading settings, downloading data, and updating firmware, is accomplished by connect-

ing the Mundial 3 to a PC or Mac USB port using the special Beuchat USB interface cable.

Beuchat web site.  The program's Help serves as the user manual which can be printed for personal use. 

The DiverLog software program for MAC can be found at the Mac App Store.

The settings upload portion of the computer interface program can be used to set/change the Main Time, Date, Set Alarms group, 

and Set Utilities group using the same interface system.

surface interval time, start depth, end depth, maximum depth, elapsed dive time, start date, start time, lowest temperature under 

water, sampling rate, dive profile, and set points.
