Oceanic DataMax Pro - Violation Modes; Conditional Violation Mode

32
VIOLATION MODES
WARNING: If you exceed certain limits, the DataMax Pro will
not be able to tell you how to get back to the surface. These
situations will make the Pro enter violation mode and must be
avoided at all costs. They push decompression theory to the
limits and can result in loss of some DataMax Pro functions
for 24 hours after the last dive of a day in which a violation
occurred.
There are three different types of Violation Modes that the DataMax Pro
can enter depending on the situation. They are termed “Conditional Viola-
tion Mode,” “Delayed Violation Mode,” and “Immediate Violation Mode.” It
is important to understand how each of these modes function and how to
carry out decompression procedures in the event you encounter one.
CONDITIONAL VIOLATION MODE
Before a situation that will ultimately result in loss of nitrogen monitor-
ing functions, the DataMax Pro will enter a Conditional Violation Mode. This
alerts you to the possibility of losing decompression management abilities. If
properly handled, the Conditional Violation Mode will not only assist you in
getting back to the surface, but will also allow continued use of the DataMax
Pro.
