4.4 Ascent rate
Optimal ascent rate varies depending on depth between 23 and 67 ft/min. It is
displayed in percent of the reference variable. If the ascent rate is greater than
100% of the set value, the black arrow <SLOW> appears. If the ascent rate
exceeds 140%, the arrow starts flashing.
The Aladin
®
Air Z provides an acoustic alarm if the ascent rate is 110% or
greater of the set value. The intensity of the alarm increases in direct proporti-
on to the degree the prescribed ascent rate is exceeded.
The prescribed ascent rate must be observed at all times! Exceeding the pre-
scribed ascent rate can lead to microbubbles in the arterial circulation which
can lead to serious injury or death due to decompression sickness.
– The Aladin
®
Air Z may require a decompression stop even within the no-stop
phase because of the danger of the formation of microbubbles due to an
improper ascent.
– Decompression time necessary for the prevention of microbubbles can increa-
se massively if the ascent rate is exceeded.
– At great depth, too slow an ascent may cause heightened saturation of tissu-
es and an extension of both decompression time and total ascent time. At shal-
low depth, a slow ascent may shorten decompression time because the tissues
are desaturating during a shallow, slow ascent.
