Conditional Violation –
Ascending Shallower than Decompression Ceiling
The DataMax Pro will enter a Conditional Violation Mode if you ascend
shallower than the decompression ceiling indicated by the Tissue Loading
Bar Graph (Fig. 26). A momentary rise above the ceiling, such as with a
surge or swell, will cause this to happen. Therefore you should stay slightly
deeper than the exact ceiling depth, watching the Pro closely when managing
decompression. The DataMax Pro will alert you of a Conditional Violation
with an Audible Alarm of One Beep per Second until you descend below the
required decompression ceiling.
Once the DataMax Pro enters a Conditional Violation Mode, no off-
gassing credit will be given. For every minute in Conditional Violation Mode,
1-1/2 minutes of penalty time is added to decompression stop time for greater
protection.
If shallower than the required decompression ceiling for up to five
minutes the Pro will still be in Conditional Violation Mode. After five min-
utes, it will enter Delayed Violation Mode (see next section). But, if the
Conditional Violation is corrected before five minutes have elapsed (meaning
you descend below the ceiling depth), the DataMax Pro will continue to
function as if no violation had occurred. In this case, the added penalty
decompression time will have to be “worked-off” first before obtaining off-
gassing credit. Once the penalty time is worked-off, and off–gassing credit
