III Uwatec ® Aladin ® Air Z
4 Functions during the Dive
Messages: The decompression alarm is activated if the decompression stop is
ignored. Arrow <DECOSTOP> begins flashing and an acoustic alarm is initia-
ted. Due to the formation of microbubbles decompression can increase mas-
sively if a decompression stop is ignored. When 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 3 minutes after the dive if corrective action is not taken.
If the total (cumulative) duration of the decompression alarm is longer than a
minute, it is entered in the logbook.
Response: Descend to the prescribed decompression depth immediately!
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.
