WET CONTACTS
The Wet Contact Dive Mode Activation feature is active any time
WET ACTIVATION is set ON.
The ATOM is configured with contacts that will automatically
activate Dive Mode when the space between the contacts is
bridged by a conductive material (immersed in water) and it
senses a Depth of 5 FT (1.5 M).
The contacts are the pins of the PC Interface Data Port and the
stems of the Push Buttons.
As long as the contacts are bridged on the Surface, the graphic
WET will alternate with the Day of Week graphic (MON - SUN)
on the Watch MAIN TIME (Fig. 85) and ALT TIME displays and
the graphics NORM and SEA (or EL2 to EL13) on the NORM
SURF MAIN screen (Fig. 86). Also on the GAUG and FREE
SURF MAINs.
Upon removing the bridge between the contacts (drying the
ATOM), the graphic WET will no longer be displayed.
The ATOM will continue checking for Depth, until a dive is made
or it reverts to the Local Default Time screen after 2 hours.
