FFECTS ON THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Oxygen toxicity exposure is monitored by means of
a CNS (Central System Calculation), based on
currently accepted recommendations for exposure
limits. This toxicity is expressed as a percentage
value, % CNS O
2
, ranging from 0% to 120%. The
percentage value of CNS O
2
is shown on the
display, and an alarm is triggered when it exceeds
75%, signaled by blinking of the value.
Fig. 23-29 show the data that is displayed during
the various phases of the dive:
Fig. 23 - PreDive, on activating DIVE mode, the
display shows the % O
2
and the % CNS O
2
if it is
greater than zero.
