3.3.4 Alarms
The Favor S features visual and audible alarms, to alert you when you are approach-
ing dangerous situations.
Potential danger situations during a dive, occurs when:
• the no-decompression dive turns into a decompression dive. One arrow
pointing upwards and the ascend warning CEILING/ASC TIME will appear
together with an audible alarm: three single beeps. (Fig. 3.13).
Immediate danger, happens when:
• the maximum allowed ascent rate, 10 m/min [33 ft/min], is exceeded. A
blinking SLOW warning will alternate with the depth display, and a
continuous beeping alarm is given. (Fig. 3.12).
• the ceiling depth is exceeded. A downward pointing arrow and a blinking
error warning Er will appear, and a continuous beeping alarm is given.
(Fig.3.16). You should immediately descend to or below the ceiling. The
dive computer will otherwise enter a permanent error mode in three minutes,
indicated by a non-blinking Er.
• the ceiling descends to 10 m [30 ft]. A blinking error warning Er appears.
You should immediately ascend to or below the ceiling.
• the ceiling descends to 12 m [39 ft]. A permanent error warning Er appears.
In this mode the instrument can only be used as a depth gauge and timer.
Fig. 3.12 ASCENT RATE INDICATOR
Pointer at position four: ascent rate is
more than 11 m/min [36 ft/min]. Blinking
SLOW displayed means that the ascent
rate 10 m/min [33 ft/min] has been
violated continuously. This is a caution to
slow down!
Fig. 3.13 DECOMPRESSION DIVE, BELOW THE CEILING ZONE
The minimum ascent time is 4 minutes. The upward pointing arrow tells you to ascend. The ceiling is at 3 m [10 ft].
