VIOLATION MODES

WARNING: If you exceed certain limits, the DataPlus will not be
able to tell you how to get safely back to the surface. These
situations will make the DataPlus enter 'violation modes' and
must be avoided at all costs. They exceed tested limits and can
result in loss of some DataPlus functions for 24 hours after the
dive in which a violation occurred.
The Violation Modes that the DataPlus can enter, depending on the situation,
are termed "Conditional", "Delayed", and "Immediate". It is important to
a
understand each different Violation Mode that the DataPlus can enter and how
to carry out decompression procedures in the event you enter one.

CONDITIONAL VIOLATION MODE

The DataPlus will enter the Conditional Violation Mode (Fig. 59) if you ascend
shallower (Fig. 59a) than the required decompression ceiling indicated
by the Required Stop Depth displayed (Fig. 59b). A momentary rise above the
ceiling, such as with a surge or swell, will cause this to happen. Therefore you
should stay slightly deeper than the exact ceiling stop depth, watching the
DataPlus closely when managing decompression.
