You should immediately initiate a controlled Ascent while moni-
toring your Tank Pressure. However, there is no reason to
panic, the ATOM has allowed for the Air necessary for a safe
Ascent including the No Deco Safety Stop, if set On, and any
Decompression Stops required.
Example:
You set the End Pressure Alarm for 300 PSI (20 BAR)
You are at a Depth of 60 FT (20 M)
Air Time Remaining decreases to 0:00
You Ascend at a maximum rate of 30 FPM (10 MPM)
You surface with 300 PSI (20 BAR) pressure still in your Tank
VARIABLE ASCENT RATE
Alerts associated with Ascent Rate are based upon 2 sets of
speeds which change at a reference depth of 60 FT (18 M).
WARNING: At depths greater than 60 FT (18 M),
Ascent Rates should not exceed 60 FPM (18
MPM). At depths of 60 FT (18 M) and shallower,
Rates should not exceed 30 FPM (9 MPM).
Ascent Rate Warning
At depths deeper than 60 FT (18 M), a Warning (Fig. 84) will
be given when Ascent Rates exceed 50 FPM (15 MPM). The
message SLOW > SLOW will scroll until the Ascent is slowed.
