DEEPBLU COSMIQ DIVE COMPANION Product Manual page 23

SECTION 5 - INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
In the event of exceeding the no decompression limit, the letters 'CEL' will be flash on the screen.
Additionally, the following information will be displayed in order to assist you with safely performing
a mandatory decompression stop:
• Ceiling indicator
• Ceiling Depth
• Stop indicator
• Stop Countdown Time
The Ceiling Depth value will be shown under the Ceiling indicator in the bottom left corner of the
display screen. The Ceiling Depth value represents the shallowest depth to which you can ascend
to in order to complete a decompression stop. Do not ascend above this depth before completing
your decompression stop.
Additionally, the Stop Countdown Time will flash on the display screen under the Stop indicator, in
the bottom right corner of the display screen. The arrow icon will appear instructing you to ascend
to the ceiling depth.
The alarm will beep 10 times for a duration of 20 seconds and will continue this cycle every 10
seconds for a total of 3 minutes. The Ceiling Depth and Stop Countdown Time will both flash at the
same time.
If you begin to ascend within 3 minutes of exceeding the no decompression limit, the Ceiling Depth
and Stop Countdown Time values may disappear from the screen if COSMIQ calculates that your
nitrogen levels have receded back to safe levels. You should still conduct a regular safety stop at the
end of your dive.
If you do not begin to ascend within 3 minutes of exceeding the NDL, the decompression stop
becomes mandatory. The Ceiling Depth value and the Stop Countdown Time will continue to flash
until you ascend to the ceiling depth and conduct a decompression stop.
Obey the warnings and ascend to the ceiling depth to complete a decompression stop in accordance
with the time shown on the Stop Countdown Time. Do not ascend above the ceiling depth until the
Stop Countdown Time has elapsed. Once the stop countdown time is over, it is safe to ascend to
the next ceiling depth (if required) or to the surface if it is safe.
WARNING: STAY WITHIN THE NO DECOMPRESSION LIMIT AND AVOID DIVES THAT REQUIRE
DECOMPRESSION STOPS. Deepblu advises against exceeding no decompression time limits and
dives that require decompression stops. In the event that you exceed the no decompression time
limit and a decompression stop is required, you should begin your decompression stop immediately.
Remember to never ascend above the ceiling depth until your decompression stop is complete.
WARNING: IN THE EVENT OF EXCEEDING THE NO DECOMPRESSION LIMIT, ALWAYS CONDUCT
A DECOMPRESSION STOP AND DO NOT ASCEND ABOVE THE CEILING DEPTH UNTIL YOU
HAVE COMPLETED THE REQUIRED STOP(S). Follow the instructions above, and conduct the
necessary decompression stop in accordance with the Ceiling Depth and Stop Countdown Time
values displayed on COSMIQ.
