Mod/Ppo - Uwatec Galileo luna Mode D'emploi

3. diving with Galileo
Galileo also provides an audible alarm in
case of ascent rates exceeding 110%: the
intensity of the alarm increases in direct
proportion to the degree that the ideal
ascent rate is exceeded.
- In case of a fast ascent, Galileo may
require a decompression stop even
within the no-stop phase because of the
danger of microbubble formation.
- From great depth a slow ascent
may cause heightened saturation
of tissues and an extension of both
decompression duration and total
ascent time. At shallow depth, a slow
ascent may shorten the decompression
duration.
- Excessive ascent rates for longer
periods are entered in the logbook.
! WarninG
The ideal ascent rate must not be exceeded at
any time since this could lead to microbubbles
in the arterial circulation which could cause
serious injury or death.
Both the visual and the audible alarm persist
for as long as the ascent rate is 110% or
more of the ideal ascent rate.

! WarninG
- The MOD should not be exceeded.
Disregarding the alarm can lead to oxygen
poisoning.
- Exceeding a ppO of 1.6bar can lead to

sudden convulsions resulting in serious
injury or death.
In cLaSSic configuration, the alarm
message Mod eXceeded is displayed
in place of the no-stop or decompression
information for 12 seconds, after which it is
repeated in 4 second intervals. In addition,
the current depth is shown in inverted
colors (white on a black background),
and in the lower left corner Mod and the
value of the MOD are displayed, also in
inverted colors. Alternate information is
accessible as described in section 3.3.2,
but after 5 seconds the inverted MOD is
again shown. This will not change until
the diver ascends 1m/3ft above the MOD.
The audible signal persists until the diver
ascends 1m/3ft above the MOD.
In LiGHt configuration, the alarm message
Mod eXceeded is displayed in place of
the no-stop information for 12 seconds,
after which it is repeated in 4 second
intervals. In addition, the current depth is
displayed in inverted colors (white on a
black background) and remains like this
until the diver ascends 1m/3ft above the
MOD. The audible signal persists until the
diver ascends 1m/3ft above the MOD.
