DISPLAY ABOVE CEILING
If you ascend above the ceiling, a downward pointing arrow will appear (Fig 3.17). In
addition a blinking error warning Er reminds you that you have only three minutes to
correct the situation. You must immediately descend to or below the ceiling.
If you continue to violate the decompression requirements, the dive computer goes
into a permanent ERROR MODE. In this mode (Fig. 3.18) you must not dive again for at
least two days. See also Section 3.7, Error Conditions.
During decompression, ASC TIME will count down toward zero. When the ceiling
moves upwards, you can ascend to the new ceiling. You may surface only when the
ascent time reaches zero and CEILING/ASC TIME is replaced by NO DEC TIME.
WARNING !
NEVER LET THE CEILING DEPTH DESCEND DEEPER THAN 9 m [30 ft]. When the
ceiling is deeper than 9 m [30 ft], a blinking error warning Er will appear and when the
12 m [39 ft] ceiling is reached the dive computer will go into a permanent error mode.
Fig. 3.18 DISPLAYS AFTER VIOLATED
DECOMPRESSION DIVE
The blinking CEILING/ASC TIME symbol
(a) indicates that you have violated the ceiling
for more than three minutes or the maximum
ceiling depth of 12 m [39 ft] was exceeded.
The instrument will stay as a depth gauge and
timer for 39 hours 59 minutes = no fly time
(b). After 2 hours 30 minutes surface interval
time the no fly time is 37 hours 29 minutes.
In the dive planning mode the Er warning is
displayed instead of the no-decompression
time (c). You must not dive again or fly for at
least two days.
