Actions to take when a warning is activated
- Perform a by-pass.
Gas supplied?
- No: The reason is the reserve gas valve, i.e. pressure < 20 bar:
- Pull the reserve gas valve.
- Perform a by-pass.
- Abort the dive immediately. (The diver has about 10 minutes of dive time remaining).
- Yes: Could the diver's behaviour have triggered the warning?
- Quick descent/ascent?
- Low breathing/breath held?
- Check the pressure gauge.
- Continued diving. Consider aborting the dive if the warning returns.
- Yes (and the diver's behaviour could not have caused the warning): The IS-MIX has a dosage fault or leak.
- Abort the dive immediately.
- Check the pressure gauge. If the warning recurs during the ascent, a new by-pass is performed.
