PROPLUS 4.0 OPERATING MANUAL
© Pelagic, 2019 Doc. No. 12-5669-r01 (1/18/19)
VIOLATION GAUGE MODE (VGM) DURING A DIVE
During Dive mode dives, operation will enter VGM when Decompression requires a Stop Depth greater than 70 ft (21 m). Operation would then
continue in VGM during the remainder of that dive and for 24 hours after surfacing. VGM turns the ProPlus 4.0 into a digital instrument without any
decompression or oxygen related calculations or displays. Upon activation of VGM, the audible alarm will sound. The message UP VIOL (violation)
and up arrow will ash. After the audible alarm becomes silent (10 seconds), the NO DECO (No Decompression) and Tissue Loading Bar Graph
will not display for the rest of the dive.
