Delayed Violation Mode #3 (Fig. 99)

If you descend deeper than the Maximum Operating Depth of

330 feet (99.9 meters), the accumulated Tissue Loading Bar

Graph segments will flash, and the Current Depth and Max Depth

displays will only indicate 3 dashes ( - - - ) signifying that you are

Out of Range.  The graphic message TOO > DEEP will scroll at

the top of the display.

Upon ascending above 330 feet (99.9 meters), the Current Depth

display will be restored, however Max Depth will only display 3

dashes for the remainder of that dive.  Also, the Log for that dive

will display 3 dashes as the Max Depth achieved.

Immediate Violation Mode and Gauge Mode

If a Decompression Ceiling Stop Depth much greater than 60 feet

(18 meters) is required, an Immediate Violation Mode will be

entered.  This situation would be preceded by entering Delayed

Violation Mode #2.

The ATOM would then operate with limited functions in Violation

Gauge Modeduring the remainder of that dive and for 24 hours

after surfacing.  Gauge Mode turns the ATOM into a digital

instrument without any decompression or oxygen monitoring

functions.
