4.6. Ceiling broken

4.6.1. Algorithm lock

This section describes what happens when you break the decompression ceiling when diving with Suunto Fused™ RGBM 2 algorithm.

Breaking the decompression ceiling

When you ascend above the ceiling by more than 0.6 m (2 ft), the ceiling parameter turns red, a red, down pointing arrow appears, and an audio alarm is generated.

In such event, you should descend below the ceiling level to continue the decompression. If you fail to do so within three (3) minutes, Suunto EON Steel Black locks the algorithm calculation and displays Locked instead, as shown below. Note that the ceiling value is no longer present.

In this state, you significantly increase your risk of decompression sickness (DCS).

Decompression information is not available for the next 48 hours after surfacing.

Algorithm locked

Locking the algorithm is a safety feature, highlighting that the algorithm information is no longer valid.

It is possible to dive with the device when the algorithm is locked, but instead of the decompression information, Locked is shown. Diving while the algorithm is locked resets the algorithm lock time back to 48 hours when you surface.

NOTE: When you dive with Bühlmann 16 GF algorithm, the algorithm will not be locked

even if you break the decompression ceiling and omit the decompression stops. See 4.6.2.

Warning: Ceiling broken for more information.

4.6.2. Warning: Ceiling broken

This section describes what happens when you break the decompression ceiling when diving with Bühlmann 16 GF algorithm.

Bühlmann 16 GF algorithm does not have the same algorithm lock as the one in Suunto

Fused™ RGBM 2 algorithm. If you dive with Bühlmann 16 GF algorithm, your device will continue showing the original dive plan even if the decompression stop is violated. Approve the Ceiling broken warning by pushing the middle button.
