Your KAON can display visual alarms when you exceed any of the
following parameters:
4.6. Alarms
•
Maximum depth
•
Maximum dive time
•
Maximum ascent rate
•
Maximum descent rate
When the alarm is activated for any parameter, that piece of information will start blinking on your
screen for one minute. If you do not correct the situation within one minute, the parameter display will
invert (i.e. it will appear as black letters on colored background) until you correct situation causing the
alarm. Once you do that, the alarm will turn off.
The only exception is a time alarm. It will blink for 1 minute, after which it will go back to normal. The
reason for this is that you cannot correct the fact that you exceeded your maximum time.
The default setting for Alarms is “On”. Selecting “Off” allows you to turn all the alarms off entirely. If
you select “Off”, even if some alarm limits are exceeded, you will not see ANY alarm. The use of this
option is discouraged.
4.6.1. Alarms On/Off
Here you can set the depth at which you want your Depth alarm to activate. The default is 30m/100ft.
4.6.2. Depth
Here you can set the time at which you want the Time alarm to activate. The default is 60 minutes. One
use for this feature could be to remind you that your maximum bottom time has been reached.
4.6.3. Time
Here you can create a set of ascent rate rules. You can set up to 5 different rules.
4.6.4. Ascent Rate
The first rule is the one with “Start” on the left. This will apply at
all depths of your dive, unless you set additional rules. This will
also be the default rule for any depths not covered by other rules.
If, for example, you set it to 10 meters per minute / 30 feet per
minute, and set no other rule, then at any depth, exceeding this
ascent rate will cause an alarm.
Alternatively, you can add more rules, in the format “Start Depth”
- “Maximum Rate”. These additional rules will apply once you get
shallower
than specified depth. For example, you might choose to
limit yourself to 1 meter per minute / 3 feet per minute once you're
past your last deco stop, which is planned at a depth of 3 meters /
10 feet. In this case, you would set a rule “Start Depth: 10 feet”
and “Maximum Rate: 3 feet per minute”.
