[. . . ] 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. 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. Unless you are fully aware of these risks and are willing to personally accept and assume responsibility for those risks, do not use the Aladin® Pro! WARNING The Aladin® Pro is a sophisticated decompression tool to assist a trained and certified diver in making decisions concerning dive planning and execution. [. . . ] depth deco info The entire altitude range is divided into four sections which are influenced by barometric pressure. 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. 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. 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.
