Ascent Rate - Scubapro Aladin 2G Manual De Usuario

3. Diving with Aladin 2G
Max depth is only displayed if it exceeds
the current depth by more than 1m (3ft)
(maximum indicator function). If max depth
is not displayed, Aladin 2G shows the
temperature.

WARNING
If the max depth set with SmartTRAK or "set 1"
has been reached (default 40m/130ft) and the
depth alarm is turned on, the depth display will
flash.
Ascend until the depth stops flashing.

Ascent rate
Optimal ascent rate varies depending on
depth between 7 and 20m/min (23 and
67ft/min). It is displayed as a percent of
the reference variable ascent rate. 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.
Aladin 2G provides an audible alarm if the
ascent rate is 110% or greater. The intensity
of the alarm increases in direct proportion
to the degree that the prescribed ascent
rate is exceeded.
WARNING
The prescribed ascent rate must be observed
at all times! Exceeding the prescribed ascent
rate can lead to microbubbles in the arterial
circulation which can lead to serious injury or
death due to decompression sickness.
• In case of an improper ascent Aladin 2G
may require a decompression stop even
within the no-stop phase because of the
danger of microbubble formation.
• The decompression duration necessary
for the prevention of microbubbles can
increase massively if the ascent rate is
exceeded.
• From great depth a slow ascent
may cause heightened saturation
of tissues and an extension of both
decompression duration and total
ascent time.
At shallow depth, a slow ascent may
shorten the decompression duration.
