Decompression Stop Information. A&D 2 Plus

Decompression Stop Information

If you exceed the no-stop limits, the Monitor 3 will replace the no-stop time with the deepest (first) decompression stop depth (in feet) along with the amount of decompression time (in minutes) at that depth. When a decompression stop has been completed, the next shallower decompression stop is displayed, along with its required stop time. When all decompression stops are completed, the DECO arrow disappears and the NO STOP arrow reappears.

WARNING: If you ascend shallower than the required decompression stop depth, the DECO arrow will start flashing and an acoustic alarm will sound. Due to the formation of microbubbles, decompression obligation can increase greatly if a decompression stop is ignored. When the surface is reached during the decompression alarm, the

DECO arrow continues to flash to point out the risk of a decompression accident. If you do not descend immediately to the required stop depth, the Monitor 3 will enter SOS Mode. Any decompression violation longer than one minute is entered in the computers logbook. Ignoring decompression stops may lead to serious injury or death due to decompression sickness.
