Atom2 went in "Conditional violation" mode

[usub]

Hi
At a dive yestersday my Atom2 showed a strange behavior.
After less than a minute in the dive at approx 2 meters depth I ascended back to the surface because my boddy had a small problem.
That caused the atom2 to go in Conditional Violation mode, but cleared the mode by itself the minutte after.
Later in the dive (after 21min) we got away from each other and surfaced to get toghether again. During my descend afterwards (to 4meter), the Atom whent into Conditional vialoation mode once more.

I can't see why it should go into violation mode on such a shallow dive.
Firmware version is "r3F"

Has any other Atom owners experienced similair behavior or perhaps Oceanic can comment ?

The dive details from oceanlog below
Water temp minimum 3 deg centigrade

Just a guess as I don't have an Atom, but... ascent or descent rate to fast would be my best guess.

Your depth sensor may be going out and last I heard they are on 3I of the firmware.

 

[usub]

Yes, the sensor would be my guess as well. Or perhaps the firmware. Do you have any idea what the 3I version should improve ?

 

[NCadiver]

No I don't. 3g had a major bug in it and H I don't know why it was replace with I but I don't think software will fix a calibration or hardware problem. If it's in warranty send it back for service.

I called Oceanic PDC hotline and he explained that the newest firmware release, '3I' just adds a new feature. It stores the settings and logs when replacing the battery, even for an extended time. 3H must be a bug fix for 3G.

He couldn't really explain my problem with the computer going in violation mode, but suggested that I accidently had pressed top left button while in the surface or under the surface (not 100% sure what he meant). I actualy did have a slate mounted on my arm next to the computer and it might very well had pressed an odd compination on the left side buttons during the dive or in the surface. Perhaps an explanation. but we agreed that should get back to them if it happened again.

If you can download the dive and post the profile, but press the button is a poor excuse. Three of the buttons are designed for under water use and two of them are on the left side. Check out page 111 of the manual that how you hit violations. That of the depth sensor is malfunctioning.
