1 Diving at Reduced Risk with Aladin

Air Z O

IV Uwatec

Aladin

Air Z O

– On all dives with the Aladin

Air Z O2, make a safety stop for at least one to three minutes within the

10 to 15 feet zone.

– Check <O

2% MIX> (gas mixture) and the dive limit given by the ppO2 max. of 1.6 bar before every dive.

– If the ascent arrow appears, start ascending.

– If the flashing ascent arrow appears, start to ascend at once.

– Observe <CNS O

LIMIT> (ascend at 75%).

– Comply with the ascent rate and decompression stops if any.

– If the Aladin

Air Z O2 fails at any time during the dive, the dive must be terminated, and appropriate

surfacing procedures should be initiated immediately.

– You MUST follow the ascent rates as indicated by the Aladin

Air Z O2

and if the computer should

fail for any reason, you must ascend at a rate of no greater than 30 feet per minute.

– All divers using dive computers to plan dives and indicate or determine decompression status must use

their own computer which they take with them on all dives.

– If your diving cylinder is equipped with a reserve or “J“-type valve, make certain that the reserve

is in an open (down) position. Failure to keep the reserve open will result in the improper calculation of

dive data depending on tank pressure.

– On any given dive, both divers in a buddy pair must follow the most conservative dive computer for that

particular dive.

– You MUST be familiar with all signs and symptoms of decompression sickness before using the Aladin

Air Z O2

! Seek IMMEDIATE treatment for decompression sickness should any of these signs or symptoms

occur after a dive! There is a direct correlation between the effectiveness of treatment and the delay bet-

ween the onset of symptoms and the treatment for decompression sickness.

– Always observe the visual and acoustic alarm signals of the Aladin

Air Z O2. Avoid situations of increa-

sed risk which are marked with a warning sign in this operating manual.

– Never dive the Aladin

Air Z O2 to the limits. Neither the Aladin

Air Z O2, nor any other diving compu-

ter or decompression table should be pushed to its limit. Give yourself a margin of safety by always lea-

ving at least a few minutes in the “no-stop box“ before making your ascent.

– Never use the Aladin

Air Z O2 for repetitive, “square“ dives deeper than 60 feet. A square dive is a dive

that is performed for its duration at a uniform depth.
