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).

Aladin

Air Z O

can be used as a decompression computer up to an altitude

of about 13100 ft.

Do not use the Aladin

Air Z O2 for planned decompression diving. The

decompression algorithm contained in the Aladin

Air Z O2 should be used

only for emergency or unintended decompression.

If atmospheric pressure is below 8.85 psi (altitude higher than 13100 ft above

sea level), no decompression data is displayed. Oxygen toxicity is still calcula-

ted. Indication of the RBT is also impossible since decompression data are

necessary for its calculation (of course the ppO

and O

% or tank pressure are

still displayed). By 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 very small differences in the pressure sensors can cause an indication of dif-

ferent altitude sections of two dive computers at the same altitude on the frin-

ges of the altitude ranges. These differences are not meaningful and do not

interfere with the functions of Aladin

Air Z O

. But if an altitude section is dis-

played 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

computer. In this case, send your computer back to your retailer for testing.

Diving while at altitude can considerably increase the risk of decompression

sickness. Do not undertake high altitude diving without being specifically

trained in the special techniques of such diving.
