Ascent Rate Alarm
(Fig. 84)
At depths deeper than 60 feet (18 meters), an Alarm will sound
when Ascent Rates exceed 60 feet per minute (20 meters per
minute).
At 60 feet (18 meters) and shallower, the Alarm will sound when
Ascent Rates exceed 30 feet per minute (10 meters per minute).
The Audible will sound, the red LED will flash, and the message
SLOW > SLOW will scroll on/off at the top of the screen. The
Audible and LED will stop when acknowledged with the S button
or when the Ascent is slowed. After acknowledged, the Alpha
message SLOW > SLOW will continue to scroll until the Ascent is
slowed below the Alarm rate.
ELAPSED DIVE TIME
The maximum duration that Elapsed Dive Time will be displayed
is 9 hours and 59 minutes (9:59). In the event that the ATOM is
at depth for a greater time, it will cease operation as a Dive
Computer and revert to operation as a Watch, displaying the
Main Time screen.
