HIGH OXYGEN ACCUMULATION
It is important that you understand that conducting repetitive dives using enriched nitrogen-
oxygen (nitrox) mixtures can lead to oxygen buildup, reducing oxygen tolerance while in-
creasing the risk of pulmonary oxygen toxicity.
AERIS strongly recommends that you avoid exceeding oxygen exposure limits, and reminds
you that nitrox diving requires special training and understanding of the effects of oxygen
toxicity.
The O2 Bar Graph provides a graphic representation of your oxygen accumulation, displaying ei-
ther oxygen accumulated during that dive, or during the repetitive dives you conduct during that 24
hour period, whichever of the two is greater at that time.
The yellow Caution Zone of the O2 Bar Graph offers you a convenient way to consistently monitor
how close you are coming to the limits of oxygen exposure. Use it as a visual reference to place a
wider margin of protection between you and the Limits.
If the theoretical amount of oxygen accumulated equals, or exceeds,
the limit for a single exposure, or the exposure limit for a 24 hour pe-
riod, Oxygen Dive Time Remaining becomes zero (0:00) and the O2
Bar Graph will enter the red O2 (Danger) Zone (Fig. 61). The red
LED will flash, the Audible Alarm will sound (unless set OFF) and
the UP Arrow and the full O2 Bar Graph will flash as a warning until
the level of oxygen decreases below the limit.
