ACTION
13
Deco Violation Alarm
The Deco Violation Alarm will trigger when the Diver reaches a depth less than
(in absolute value) that set by the mandatory decompression stop.
The Deco Violation Alarm is visual and audible.
The visual alarm cannot be disabled; this is indicated by the field for the current
depth flashing.
Users can disable the audible alarm.
Both alarms will trigger when the Diver reaches a depth less than (in absolute
value) 0.5 meters/1.6 ft of the mandatory decompression stop indicated.
The alarm does not trigger for Deep Stops and Safety Stops, because these
stops are not mandatory.
Locking the Computer
If decompression stops are omitted, rather than immediately switching to lock
mode like other dive computers, Action applies penalty points that eventually
result in locking the SCUBA mode upon reaching 150 points.
The penalty points are assigned as follows:
- 5 points for every 5 seconds, if the diver's current depth is lower than one
meter/3 ft from the stop level indicated.
- 10 points for every 5 seconds, if the diver's current depth is lower than two
meters/6.5 ft from the stop level indicated.
This means that for an ongoing violation, Action will enter lock mode after about
2 minutes at a depth lower than one meter/3 ft, and after about 1 minute if the
stop depth violation is 2 meters/6.5 ft, naturally only if the violation is occurring
in the direction of the surface.
Once it reaches 150 points, the computer switches to lock mode.
The diver will be notified during the dive with an “Alert” icon and a message,
alternating with information about remaining decompression, indicated by the
words “WARNING DECO VLT”.
Decompression will still be calculated until the end of the dive where anticipated
by the Buhlmann mathematical model.
