Low Air Pressure Warnings
The FAVOR AIR will warn you with three audible double beeps and a blinking pressure
display when the cylinder pressure reaches 50 bar [725 psi]. The following three double
beeps are heard when the cylinder pressure reaches 35 bar [500 psi] and the
remaining air time reaches zero.
3.4.3 Ascent Rate Indicator
The ascent rate is shown graphically with a pointer in the upper left corner, next to the
notation ASC RATE, as follows:
Ascent rate indicator Ascent speed
No segments Below 5 m/min
[16 ft/min]
Pointer in the lowest position 5 - 7 m/min
[16 - 23 ft/min]
Pointer in the second lowest 7 - 9 m/min
position [23 - 30 ft/min]
Pointer in the horizontal
9 -11 m/min
position [30 - 36 ft/min]
Pointer in the upper position Above 11 m/min
[36 ft/min]
Blinking SLOW Above 10 m/min
[33 ft/min]
The SLOW warning alternates with the current depth. The SLOW warning is an
indication that the maximum ascent rate has been exceeded continuously, whereas the
ascent rate indicator shows present ascent speed.
Whenever the SLOW warning appears, you should immediately slow down or stop your
ascent until the warning disappears. You must not ascend shallower than 3 m [10 ft] with
the SLOW warning on. If you reach this depth with SLOW on, you must stop at this depth
and wait until the warning disappears.
WARNING!
RAPID ASCENTS INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY!
Do not exceed the maximum recommended ascent rate.
You must never surface with the SLOW warning on. If you do this, the warning will
