3.1.3 Nitrox information
(O2information)
For dives with compressed air in normal
recreational diving, nitrogen is the decisive
gas for decompression calculations. When
diving with nitrox, the risk of oxygen toxicity
rises with the increase of the fraction of
oxygen and the increase of depth; this can
limit dive time and max depth. The Aladin
One includes this in its calculations and
displays the necessary information:
O2% mix Fraction of oxygen: The fraction
of oxygen in the nitrox mixture can be set
between 21% (normal compressed air) and
50% in 1% increments. Your selected mix
will be the basis for all calculations.
ppO2max Maximum allowed partial
pressure of oxygen: The higher the
fraction of oxygen in the mixture, the
shallower the dive depth at which this value
of the partial pressure of oxygen is reached.
The depth at which the ppO2max is reached
is called Maximum Operating Depth (MOD).
When you enter the settings for the gas
mixture, the Aladin One will display the
ppO2maximum limit setting and the
corresponding MOD. The Aladin One warns
you audibly and visually once the depth,
at which the ppO2reaches the maximum
allowed value, is reached.
FNOTE: The default setting of ppO2max
is 1.4bar. The value of ppO2max can
be set between 1.0bar and 1.6bar at
the gas settings. The CNS O2% value/
alarm is not inuenced by the selected
ppO2max setting.
CNS O2% Oxygen toxicity: With the
increased percentage of oxygen, the
oxygen in the tissues, especially in the
central nervous system (CNS), becomes
important. If the partial pressure of oxygen
rises above 0.5bar, the CNS O2value
increases; if the partial pressure of oxygen is
below 0.5bar, the CNS O2value decreases.
The closer the CNS O2value is to 100%,
the closer the limit where symptoms of
oxygen toxicity can occur.
During the dive, the depth at which ppO2
reaches 0.5bar with various commonly-
used mixes is as follows:
MIX DEPTH in
meters
DEPTH in
feet
21% 13m 43ft
32% 6m 20ft
36% 4m 13ft
WARNING
Nitrox diving should only be attempted by
experienced divers after proper training from
an internationally recognized agency.
3.2 Attention messages and
alarms
The Aladin One draws the diver’s attention
to certain situations and warns of unsafe
diving practices. These attention messages
and alarms are visual and/or audible.
3.2.1 Attention messages
Attention messages are communicated
visually using symbols, letters or ashing
gures. In addition, 2 short audible
sequences can be heard (in an interval of
4 seconds) in 2 different frequencies under
water.
Attention messages come up in the
following situations:
• Maximum operating depth/ppO2max is
reached.
• Set max depth is reached.
• Oxygen toxicity reaches 75%.
• No-stop time is less than 3 minutes.
• Prohibited altitude (surface mode).
• Entering decompression.
• Half of set dive time is reached.
• Set dive time is reached.
