2.1 Operating modes and functions
Off-mode: When the tank valve is turned off and the regulator purged the transmitter is
in the off-mode. In that case, air pressure is measured every 5 seconds. When
pressure increases (on opening the valve), the transmitter leaves the off-mode
automatically. When the tank-valve is closed and the regulator purged (pressu-
re sinks below 116 psi), the transmitter falls back into off-mode.
Pair-mode: After switching on (opening the tank valve), the transmitter transmits its
address to the dive computer for a short time. This serves the adaptation of the
dive computer to the transmitter.
Transmission-mode: As long as tank-pressure is decreasing (during normal breathing) the pressure is
transmitted to the dive computer on an average of 5 seconds.
Standby-mode: If there is no decrease in tank-pressure (no breathing), the transmission is stop-
ped after 3 minutes in order to save energy. Pressure measuring continues.
As soon as breathing is resumed, the transmission also starts again – the trans-
mitter returns into transmission-mode.
The Aladin
®
Air Z transmitter will start working
when the tank valve is opened or when air is drawn
through the regulator.
The transmitter will not work if the tank valve is tur-
ned off and the regulator purged or if no air is
drawn through the regulator for a period of three
minutes.
The dive computer can only receive data from the
transmitter if the computer and transmitter are pai-
red. If the pairing has not been carried out, no air
data will be displayed by the dive computer. In that
case, Aladin
®
Air Z works as a conventional dive
computer.
