As your depth and elapsed dive time increase, the Tissue Loading Bar Graph
will fill with segments (green to red) to represent the absorption of nitrogen;
and if FO2 was set for a value other than 'Air', the O2 bar graph will fill with
segments (green to red) to represent oxygen accumulation for that dive, or 24
hour period, whichever is greater. The Gas Time Remaining bar graph will
recede from green to red as breathing gas time remaining decreases from 60 to
0 minutes. Segments of the Breathing Gas Consumption and Variable Ascent
Rate Indicator bar graphs fill (and recede) as their respective rates increase
(and decrease) throughout the dive.
WARNING: Every effort should be made to keep all of the bar
graphs in the green throughout your dives to reduce your risk
of exposure to decompression sickness and oxygen toxicity.
DECOMPRESSION DIVE MODE
The DataTrans Plus provides information that will help you avoid, or if neces-
sary, manage emergency decompression.
The Decompression Dive Mode activates when the No Decompression Limits
are exceeded and the Tissue Loading Bar Graph enters the red decompression
zone (Fig. 66).
