Conditional Violation Mode
The XP 5 will enter the Conditional Violation Mode if you ascend to a depth
shallower (Fig. 51a) than the Required Decompression Ceiling Stop Depth dis-
played (Fig. 51b).
• Unless set OFF (a user setting), the Audible Alarm will emit a continuous tone for 30
seconds or until acknowledged by pressing the Advance (Front) button.
• The Down Arrow, Deco Bar, and the Total Ascent Time display will flash until you
descend below the Required Stop Depth.
• Also displayed will be Current Depth and applicable bar graphs.
If you descend below the required decompression ceiling before 5 minutes have
elapsed, the ATMOS 2 will continue to function in Decompression Dive Mode. In this
case, no off-gassing credit will be given, and for each
minute above the ceiling 1

minutes of Penalty Time will be
added to Required Stop Time.
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
begins, required decompression Stop Depths and Time will
decrease toward zero, then the Nitrogen Bar Graph will re-
cede into the yellow Caution Zone and the XP 5 will revert to
the No Decompression Dive Mode.
