BREATHING GAS & DEPTH ALARM SET POINTS

™

After planning each dive according to the no-decompression dive

times shown to be available in the Pre Dive Planning Sequence, Oce-

anic strongly recommends that you utilize one of the greatest safety

features the DataTrans Plus offers - the Gas & Depth Alarm settings.

While the DataTrans Plus uses the Audible Alarm, Message Box, and

Graphic Diver Interface to automatically alert you whenever you en-

ter a potentially dangerous situation, such as Decompression Dive

Mode, ascending too fast, running low on breathing gas, etc., the

Alarm settings allow you to preset more conservative limits to better

avoid these situations.

Depth Alarm Set Point

™

The Depth Alarm will alert you whenever you reach or exceed the maximum

depth Set Point value that you have chosen. Of course, if you set the Depth

Alarm for a depth that is deeper than the no-decompression or decompression

limits for that dive, you will first be alerted by other built-in alarms that you

have exceeded those limits before the Depth Alarm is activated.

When the Depth Alarm is activated by reaching or exceeding your preset maxi-

mum depth, the audible alarm will sound once per second, while the Message

Box flashes the words “TOO DEEP” (Fig. 40) until you ascend above the
