VII Interface
The Aladin
®
Pro Nitrox is able to communicate with a personal computer. The connection is established by
contact sensors. A special interface cable and the necessary PC-software
DataTrak/DataTalk
(MS-DOS) is available
on the market. Communication via interface has a number of advantages:
1.1 Personal programming of the dive computer
Several parameters can be set individually by the user, e.g.:
– The partial pressure of oxygen can be adjusted between 1.2 and 1.95 bar.
– The physical units of water depth and tank pressure can be selected (metric/imperial).
– The attention message acoustic signals can be switched off if desired (see pgs. 32, 33). The actual attention
messages shown on the face of the Aladin
®
Pro Nitrox are not affected by the acoustic signal being
switched off. (The acoustic messages for alarm cannot be switched off. Alarm messages are: not enough
gas mixture for safe ascent, ignoring decompression stop, making too rapid an ascent, exceeding CNS O
2
limit).
ppO
2
max must not be set higher than 1.6 bar
If you switch off the acoustic attention buzzer of the Aladin
®
Pro Nitrox you must
pay careful attention to the visual signals on the face of the Aladin
®
Air X Nitrox.
Failure to follow all alarms whether audible or not may lead to serious injury or
death due to decompression sickness, and/or drowning.
