4 Functions during the Dive
Messages: The decompression alarm is activated if the decompression stop
is ignored. Arrow <DECOSTOP> flashes and an acoustic alarm
is initiated. Due to the formation of microbubbles decompres-
sion can increase massively while a decompression stop is
ignored. If the surface is reached during the decompression
alarm, the arrow <DECOSTOP> continues flashing, in order to
point to the risk of a decompression accident. The SOS-mode
is activated after 3 minutes after the dive.
If the total (cumulative) duration of the decompression alarm
is longer than a minute it is entered in the logbook.
Action: Descend to the prescribed decompression depth at once!
Total time of ascent
As soon as decompression stops are necessary, Aladin
®
Air Z shows the total
time of ascent. The time of ascent to the first decompression stage and all
decompression stops are included.
The time of ascent is calculated on the basis of the prescribed
ascent rate and a normal workload. Total time of ascent can be
subject to change, if the ascent rate is not ideal (100%) or with
higher workload.
