The “MOD” defines the maximum operating depth for the mix in use and is
calculated as a function of the real surface atmospheric pressure and the PpO

(oxygen partial pressure) set for the mix in use.
The alarm for Exceeding the MOD is visual and audible.
The visual alarm cannot be disabled; this is indicated by the field for the current
