EMERGENCY DECOMPRESSION

The 500AI is a sophisticated instrument designed with capabilities that go be-

yond the range of recreational diving with compressed air. It will help you to

avoid and, if necessary, manage decompression.

NOTE: See pages 70 and 71 for additional safety information.

NITROGEN BAR GRAPH

The Nitrogen Bar Graph offers you a convenient way to consistently monitor

how close you are coming to the No Decompression Limit. As you use the

500AI and become familiar with the Nitrogen Bar Graph, you will notice that

it displays fewer segments for shorter dive times and shallower depths. Use

this feature to adjust conservatism to your diving needs.

CAUTION: Use the yellow Caution Zone (Fig. 62a) as a visual

reference to place a wider margin of protection between you

and the No Decompression Limit.

AERIS suggests keeping the Nitrogen Bar Graph in the green No De-

compression (NO DECO) zone during all of your dives, and that it al-

ways be in the 'green' when leaving the water.
