VIOLATION MODES
While in Violation Modes, the Alternate Displays previously described can be accessed
using the A button, the Backlight can be activated using the S button, and Alarms can be
acknowledged and silenced with the A button.
• Alternate Displays will be similar to the DECO screens and not repeated. They revert
to the MAIN (Default) Display after 5 seconds unless A is pressed.
NORM CONDITIONAL VIOLATION
If you ascend shallower (Fig. 79a) than a Required Decompression Ceiling Stop Depth
(Fig. 79b), the Audible Alarm will sound, and the red LED, Down Arrow, and Full TLBG will
flash until you descend below the Required Stop Depth. The graphic message DOWN >
DOWN will scroll at the top of the display until the Alarm is acknowledged/silenced, then
the message DOWN > TO > xxF or xxM will scroll.
If you descend below the required Decompression Ceiling before
5 minutes have elapsed, the VT3 will continue to function in
Decompression Dive Mode. In this case, no off gassing Credit
will be given, and for each minute above the Ceiling 1
1 /
2
minutes of Penalty Time will be added to Required Stop Time.
> The added Penalty (decompression) Time will have to be
'worked off' first, before obtaining off gassing Credit.
> Once the Penalty Time is worked off, and off gassing Credit
begins, required Deco Stop Depths and Time will decrease
toward zero. The TLBG will recede into the No Deco Zone
and the VT3 will revert to the No Deco Dive Mode.
