The BlaCK eanX has the following alarms:

The alarm can be turned off using ‘Turn off alarm’ function available in the main 
menu. The fact that the alarm occurred is saved and indicated in the logbook.

ALARM DISPLAY 2/2

alarm is activated once a particular dive time is 
exceeded.

alarm is activated once the maximum depth is 
exceeded.

alarm is activated once the average depth is 
exceeded.

alarm is activated when oxygen partial pressure
(ppO2) of current gas exceeds alarm level.

alarm is activated when Cns% counter reaches
alarm level.

alarm is activated once battery charge indicator 
drops to a certain level.

alarm is activated at a particular time.

If during the dive a situation that may increase the risk of decompression 
sickness (DCs), e.g. exceeding the ascent rate or omitting the safety stop, the 
device will display a warning icon. The icon is displayed in the upper part of the 
screen in a warning colour:

DIVING – WARNING ICON

warnInG ICOn

Information on the cause of displaying a warning icon is available 
in the logbook after you finish the dive where it is indicated in 
the list of events (log).

The presence of the warning icon on the display results in the need to perform 
the required safety stop and/or automatic adjustment of the conservatism 
factor. The time for the safety stop varies from 3 to 8 minutes and depends on 
the exceeded value. You must significantly increase the surface interval time 
after such a dive. we strongly recommend to refrain from diving for a minimum 
of 24h.
