DIVE MODE BAR GRAPHS
As your depth and elapsed dive time increase, the
Nitrogen Bar Graph
(Fig. 43a) will fill with
segments (green toward red) to represent the absorption of nitrogen.
While ascending to shallower depths, the segments that have filled the Nitrogen Bar Graph will
begin to recede, offering a graphic representation of your multilevel diving capability.
If FO2 was set for a numerical value (nitrox), the
O2 Bar Graph
(Fig. 43b) will fill with seg-
ments (green toward red) to represent oxygen accumulation for that dive or 24 hour period, which-
ever amount is greater.
The
Variable Ascent Rate Indicator
(Fig. 43c) shows how fast you are ascending. When you
exceed the maximum recommended ascent rate for the depth you are at, it will enter the red (Too
Fast) zone and you will be alerted by all segments of the bar graph flashing, the graphic TOO
FAST,and Audible alarm (unless set OFF). The warnings stop when your ascent rate is slowed.
CONTROL OF DISPLAYS
During No Decompression conditions, various displays of infor-
mation (up to 3) are available. Each provides Depth, Dive Time
Remaining, and additional information. The intent of this feature is
to provide the diver control of how much information is on display
at any given time during the dive. The diver can change from one
display to another as often as desired by pressing the Advance
(Front) button, otherwise it does not change.
