Summary of Warnings and Alarms

FO

2

Warning

If you enter the water when the computer has defaulted to a 99% FO

2

, the computer

will sound an audible alarm. Immediately surface and set the FO

2

to the proper

Oxygen percentage. See page 23.

Fast Ascent Warning

The QuantumX uses a variable ascent rate. The
fastest allowable rate of ascent is dependent upon
the depth. The table below shows the three depth
ranges and the fastest ascent allowed in each
range:

Depth Range

Ascent Rate Limit

0-5.9 m (0-20 ft)

8 m (26 ft)/min

6 -17.9 m (21-59 ft)

12 m (39 ft)/min

18 m (60 ft) or deeper

16 m (52 ft)/min

If you exceed the fastest allowable ascent rate, the QuantumX flashes the SLOW
symbol, sounds an audible alarm, and flashes the current depth. The warning will
remain in effect until you slow your ascent or go shallower than 1.5 m (5 ft).
