User manual SCUBAPRO-UWATEC ALADIN PRO

[. . . ] DECOMPRESSION COMPUTER OPERATING MANUAL depth dive time NO STOP max. depth deco info ® American ® SWISS MADE BY UWATEC AG Safety considerations You must carefully read this entire manual before using your Aladin® Pro. Decompression sickness is among the most serious of those risks. Even if you follow the instructions of this manual in a careful fashion, it is still possible that you may be seriously injured or die from decompression sickness or some other inherent risk of scuba diving. [. . . ] ­ If the dive has to be made during <Atn>-time, the <Atn> time of the following dive can increase considerably. ­ If the dive is made in spite of the display <Atn>, the diver must cope with a clearly shorter no-stop time and an extension of decompression. III III Diving with Aladin® Pro 41 6. Diving in Mountain Lakes depth dive time DESATURATION h Aladin® Pro measures the atmospheric pressure even while in sleep-mode. If the computer detects a higher altitude, it switches into surface-mode automatically. Desaturation time indicated at this moment refers to adaptation time at this altitude. If diving starts within this adaptation time, Aladin® Pro treats it as a repetitive dive, since the body still has a higher saturation. max. depth deco info The entire altitude range is divided into four sections which are influenced by barometric pressure. That is why the defined altitude sections overlap on their fringes. The altitude section is indicated at the surface, in the logbook and in the dive planner by stylized mountains, if a mountain lake altitude is reached. Sea level to an altitude of approximately 3000 ft is not indicated. In the following, you can see the approximate altitude ranges of the four sections: 13120 ft 9840 ft switching at approx. 13. 12 psi 6560 ft 3280 ft 0 ft 42 III Diving with Aladin® Pro 6. Diving in Mountain Lakes In order to assure optimal decompression even at higher altitudes, the 10 ft decompression stage is divided into a 13 ft stage and a 7 ft stage (the pescribed decompression depths are, in sequence, 7 ft, 13 ft, 20 ft, 30 ft). depth dive time max. depth deco info Aladin® Pro can be used as decompression computer in case of an emergency up to an altitude of 13123 ft. If atmospheric pressure is below 8. 99 psi (altitude higher than 13123 ft above sea level), no decompression information is displayed. Dive-plan-mode can no longer be started, since no decompression information is available. Beside the display of the altitude section 3, <HI> (=high) appears, telling the diver that he will not get any decompression information for the dive. Even the smallest differences in the pressure receptors can cause an indication of different altitude sections of two dive computers at the same altitude on the fringes of the altitude ranges. These differences are not meaningful and do not interfere with the functions of Aladin® Pro. But if an altitude section is displayed at sea level or the altitude read outs of two computers differ by more than one altitude section (e. g. section 2 instead of 0), there may be a defect of the computer. In this case, send your computer back to your retailer for checking. [. . . ] ­ Do not allow your Aladin® Pro to be exposed to direct, intense sunlight. ­ Rinse your Aladin® Pro thoroughly with fresh water after each dive. ­ Do not store your Aladin® Pro in an air-tight area; make sure there is free ventilation. ­ If there are problems with operating the contacts, the surface of your Aladin® Pro housing can be treated with silicone grease.
