II Uwatec ® Aladin ® Air Z
Diveplan-mode:
Activation: manually by contacts
The diveplan-mode assists the planning of a future dive. It allows planning of
no-stop and decompression dives with freely determinable depth and dive time.
On repeat dives, the surface interval time can also be chosen at will. Calcula-
tions are based on the temperature data of the last dive and assume a normal
workload.
SOS-mode:
Activation: automatically
If the diver remains above a depth of 0.5 metres for more than three minutes
without observing the prescribed decompression, the computer switches into
SOS-mode after the dive and displays <SOS> instead of the depth. The com-
puter is locked from use for the next 24 hours. Desaturation is further calcula-
ted including 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.
