GALILEO 2 (G2) USER MANUAL
WARNING
The ideal ascent rate must not be exceeded at
any time, since this could lead to microbubbles
in the arterial circulation which could cause
serious injury or death.
The alarm persists for as long as the ascent
rate is 110% or more of the ideal ascent rate.
3 .7 .1 MOD/ppO
2
WARNING
• The MOD should not be exceeded.
Disregarding the alarm can lead to oxygen
poisoning.
• Exceeding a ppO
2
of 1.6bar can lead to
sudden convulsions resulting in serious
injury or death.
If you exceed the MOD, the depth change
to red with alarm text:
MOD EXCEEDED.
The MOD is displayed in an alternate
display window so you can see by how
much you have exceeded it. In addition,
the G2 will beep incessantly. Both the
blinking of the depth value and the beeping
will continue for as long as you stay deeper
than the MOD.
3 .7 .2 CNS O
2
= 100%
WARNING
When the CNS O
2
reaches 100% there is
danger of oxygen toxicity. Start the procedure
to terminate the dive.
The G2 tracks your oxygen uptake via the
CNS O
2
clock. If the calculated value of
CNS O
2
reaches 100%, the G2 will emit a
sequence of audible beeps for 12 seconds
and the value of the CNS O
2
will turn red in
the O
2
window. The red color will continue
until the value of CNS O
2
drops below
100%.
The audible signal is repeated for 5
seconds in 1-minute intervals after the first
occurrence, and for as long as the value
of CNS O
2
stays at or above 100% or until
the ppO
2
drops under 0.5bar (see chapter:
Diving with nitrox
for a list of depths at
which the ppO
2
equals 0.5bar for typical
nitrox mixes).
3 .7 .3 Tank reserve pressure
reached
See chapter: Tank reserve to learn how
to set the tank reserve pressure limit. When
this set pressure is reached during the dive
an alarm is triggered.
