VIOLATION MODES
WARNING: If you exceed certain limits, the Data100 will not be
able to tell you how to get safely back to the surface. These
situations will make the Data100 enter 'violation modes' and
must be avoided at all costs. They push decompression theory to
the limits and can result in loss of some Data100 functions for 24
hours after the dive in which a violation occurred.
The Violation Modes that the Data100 can enter, depending on the situation, are
termed “Conditional”, “Delayed”, and “Immediate”. It is important to under-
stand each different Violation Mode that the Data100 can enter and how to
carry out decompression procedures in the event you enter one.
Conditional Violation Mode
The Data100 will enter the Conditional Violation Mode (Fig.39) if you ascend
shallower (Fig. 39a) than the required decompression ceiling indicated
by the TLBG (Fig. 39b) and Required Stop Ceiling display (Fig. 39c). A momen-
tary rise above the ceiling, such as with a surge or swell, will cause this to
happen. Therefore you should stay slightly deeper than the exact ceiling depth,
watching the Data100 closely when managing decompression.
The Data100 will alert you to the Conditional Violation by flashing the Total
