DELAYED VIOLATION MODE
Three conditions cause the 500AI to enter the Delayed Violation Mode:
1. You remain above the Required Ceiling Stop Depth for 'more
than 5 minutes'.
The Audible Alarm will emit one long beep and the Total Ascent Time dis-
play will flash (Fig. 70a) until you descend below the Required Stop Depth.
You would then need to follow the Stop Depths and Times toward the surface
until the Nitrogen Bar Graph recedes into the yellow Caution Zone.
2. Your necessary Decompression requires a Ceiling Stop Depth 'be-
tween' 60 feet (18 meters) and 70 feet (21 meters).
The Audible Alarm will emit one long beep and the Nitrogen Bar Graph will
flash. Total Ascent Time needed to get back to the surface will still be dis-
played (Fig. 71).
You must ascend to just deeper than 60 feet (18 meters), staying as close to
60 feet (18 meters) as possible without causing the Total Ascent Time display
to flash. When the Required Stop Depth indicates 50 FT/ 15 M, etc., you can
ascend to, but no shallower than those depths and continue decompressing.
