Immediate Violation Mode and Violation Gauge Mode
WARNING: The ATMOS ai enters Immediate Violation Mode when a situation
totally exceeds its capacity to predict an ascent procedure. These dives rep-
resent gross excursions into decompression that are beyond the boundaries
and spirit of the ATMOS ai design, and an ATMOS ai should not be used for
the dives.
During a Dive, if a ceiling much greater than 60FT (18M) is required, an
Immediate Violation
Mode
will be entered. This situation would be preceded by entering Delayed Violation Mode #2,
previously described.
The ATMOS ai would then operate with limited functions in
Violation Gauge Mode
during the
remainder of that dive and for 24 hours after surfacing.
Violation Gauge Mode
turns the ATMOS ai into a digital instru-
ment without any decompression or oxygen monitoring functions.
Displayed will be Current Depth, Elapsed Dive Time, Max Depth,
Tank Pressure, and the Ascent Rate Indicator (Fig. 57).
The full Nitrogen Bar Graph and O2 Bar Graph will both flash as
a warning of this condition.
To activate the Backlight - press the Select (Bottom) button.
