ASCENT RATE BAR GRAPH (ASC)
The Ascent Rate Bar Graph (Fig. 1c) provides a visual representa-
tion of Ascent Speed (i.e., an ascent speedometer). More segments
indicate faster Rates of Ascent.
The segments of the Ascent Rate Bar Graph represent 2 Scales re-
ferred to as Standard and Navy (based on French Navy tables)
which can be selected using the associated PC Interface program.
Standard has 2 sets of speeds that change at a reference depth of 18
M (60 FT). Refer to the Specifications section for segment values.
WARNING: When set for Standard and at depths
greater than 18 M (60 FT), Ascent Rates should not
exceed 18 MPM (60 FPM). At depths of 18 M (60
FT) and shallower, Ascent Rates should not ex-
ceed 9 MPM (30 FPM). When set for Navy, Ascent
Rates should not exceed 18.5 MPM (60 FPM).
