3.6. AUDIBLE AND VISUAL ALARMS
The dive computer features audible alarms to advise when important limits are
approached or to acknowledge preset alarms.
A short single beep occurs, when:
- the dive computer is activated.
- when the dive computer automatically returns to the TIME mode.
Three single beeps with a two second interval occurs, when:
- the no-decompression dive turns into a decompression stop dive. An arrow
pointing upwards and the blinking ascent warning ASC TIME will appear
(Fig. 3.15.).
Continuous beeps for 5 seconds occur, when:
- the maximum allowed ascent rate, 10 m/min [33 ft/min], is exceeded.
SLOW and STOP warnings will appear (Fig. 3.12.).
- the Mandatory Safety Stop ceiling is exceeded. A downward pointing arrow
will appear (Fig. 3.14.).
- the decompression ceiling depth is exceeded. An error warning Er and a
downward pointing arrow appear. You should immediately descend to, or
below, the ceiling. The instrument will otherwise enter a permanent Error
Mode within three minutes, indicated by a permanent Er (Fig. 3.18.).
You are able to preset alarms before the actual dive. The user programmable alarms
can be set for maximum depth and dive time. The alarms activate when:
- The preset maximum depth is reached
- continuous beep series for 24 seconds or until any button is pressed.
- the maximum depth blinks as long as the present depth value exceeds the
adjusted value.
- The preset dive time is reached
- continuous beep series for 24 seconds or until any button is pressed.
- the dive time blinks for one minute, if no button is pressed.
OXYGEN ALARMS IN NITROX MODE
Three double beeps for 5 seconds occur, when:
- the OLF bar graph reaches 80%. The segments exceeding the 80% limit
start to blink (Fig. 3.23.)
