Suunto D6I Scuba Diving Equipment User Manual


 
During the decompression stop, ASC TIME will count down towards zero. When the
ceiling moves upwards, you can ascend to the new ceiling. You may surface only after
the ASC TIME and CEILING labels have disappeared, which means that the decom-
pression stop and any Mandatory Safety Stop havebeen completed. You are advised,
however, to stay until the STOP sign has also disappeared. This indicates that the
three (3) minute Recommended Safety Stop has also been completed.
Display above the ceiling
If you ascend above the ceiling during a decompression stop, a downward pointing
arrow will appear and a continuous beeping starts.
DECOMPRESSION DIVE, ABOVE CEILING.
NOTE DOWNWARD POINTING ARROW, ER WARNING
AND ALARM. YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY (WITHIN
3 MINUTES) DESCEND TO OR BELOW CEILING.
In addition, an Error warning (Er) reminds you that you have only three (3) minutes to
correct the situation. You must immediately descend to, or below, the ceiling.
If you continue to violate the decompression, the dive computer will go into a permanent
Error Mode. In this mode,the instrument can only be usedas a depth gauge and timer.
You must not dive again for at least 48 hours. (Refer to Section 5.7. Error conditions).
