Diveplan-mode:
Activation: manually by contacts
The diveplan-mode serves the planning of a future dive. It allows the planning
of no-stop dives with freely determinable depth and dive time. On repetitive
dives, the surface interval can also be chosen at will. Calculations are based on
the temperature data of the last dive and assuming normal workload.
SOS-mode:
Activation: automatically
If the diver remains above a depth of 2 feet for more than three minutes with-
out observing the prescribed decompression, the computer switches into SOS-
mode after the dive and displays <SOS> instead of the depth. The computer is
locked from use for the next 24 hours. Desaturation is further calculated inclu-
ding microbubbles in the tissues. Diving is again possible after 24 hours, but the
SOS-mode can influence the calculations of Aladin
®
Air Z for three days after
the incident due to the possible presence of microbubbles.
If a diver using Aladin
®
Air Z experiences a diving accident resulting in decom-
pression sickness, the dive can be analyzed by means of the MemoMouse and
DataTrak-software.
An automatic program transmits the logbook data – after connecting the dive
computer via MemoMouse with a PC – once a minute from the locked dive
computer to the personal computer. Dive computer, MemoMouse and PC need
to be connected. The PC has to be ready for receiving data and the DataTrak
„download-procedure“ has to be activated.
Serious injury or death may result if a diver does not seek immediate treat-
ment at a recompression chamber should any signs or symptoms of decom-
pression sickness occur after a dive.
