4 Functions during the dive with microbubble levels

V
The attention message "
Level stop ignored
" is
activated if the requested level stop is not observed.
An attention beep* goes off, the arrow
,
the depth and duration of the ignored level stop
begin flashing.
To complete the dive without being reduced to a
lower MB level, you must descend to the prescribed
depth immediately!
The warning "
microbubble level reduced
" is
activated if the diver ascends more than 1.5m (5ft)
above the required level stop. TEC reduces the
microbubble level, an attention beep* goes off and
for the rest of the dive the new MB level is indica-
ted in the position of the maximum depth.
The level
stop for the reduced MB level is now displayed.
To complete the dive without being further reduced
to an even lower MB level the new level stop must
be observed.
* Attention beeps can be suppressed via SmartTRAK.

4.2 Total time of ascent
TEC displays the level stop information and the total time of ascent. This inclu-
des the time of ascent as well as all level stops.
The total time of ascent is calculated on the basis of the prescribed
ascent rate and a normal workload. Total time of ascent can be sub-
ject to change if the ascent rate is not ideal (100%) or if TEC detects
a higher workload.
4.3 Decompression obligation
Avoid decompression dives when diving with MB
levels.
TEC calculates and displays level stops to reduce microbubble formation, but it
also calculates the diver's decompression data. If decompression stops become
obligatory, the
symbol will be displayed. The total ascent time will now
also contain a decompression stop.
You are close to entering decompression: At the
beginning of a decompression phase an attention
beep goes off and the
symbol flashes for 8
seconds.
In order to prevent a dive with long decompression
stops it is recommended that you ascend a few met-
res/feet on seeing this message.
