Immediate Violation Mode and Violation Gauge Mode
WARNING: The ATMOS
ai
enters Immediate Violation Mode when a situation
totally exceeds its capacity to predict an ascent procedure. These dives repre-
sent gross excursions into decompression that are beyond the boundaries
and spirit of the ATMOS
ai
design, and an ATMOS
ai
should not be used for
the dives.
During a Dive, if a ceiling much greater than 60FT (18M) is required, an Immediate Violation
Mode will be entered. This situation would be preceded by entering Delayed Violation Mode #2,
previously described.
The ATMOS
ai
would then operate with limited functions in Violation Gauge Mode during the re-
mainder of that dive and for 24 hours after surfacing.
Violation Gauge Mode turns the ATMOS
ai
into a digital instru-
ment without any decompression or oxygen monitoring functions.
Displayed will be Current Depth, Elapsed Dive Time, Max Depth,
Time of Day, Tank Pressure, and the Ascent Rate Indicator (Fig.
57).
The full Nitrogen Bar Graph and O2 Bar Graph will both flash as a
warning of this condition.
 To activate the Backlight - press the Select (Bottom) button.
