Guidelines For The Use Of Aladin 2G - Uwatec Aladin 2G User Manual

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
You must carefully read and understand this entire manual before using your Aladin 2G.
Diving has many inherent risks. Even if you follow the instructions of this manual in a careful manner,
it is still possible that you may be seriously injured or die from decompression sickness, oxygen
toxicity or some other inherent risk of scuba with Nitrox or compressed air. Unless you are fully
aware of these risks and are willing to personally accept and assume responsibility for those risks,
do not use Aladin 2G.

Guidelines for the use of Aladin 2G

The following guidelines for using Aladin 2G are derived from the latest medical research
and the recommendations of the American Academy of Underwater Sciences for diving with
diving computers. Following these guidelines will greatly increase your safety while diving,
but cannot guarantee that decompression sickness or oxygen toxicity will not occur.
• Aladin 2G is designed for dives with compressed air (21% O
100% O ) only. Do not use Aladin 2G for dives made with other mixed gases.

• It is absolutely necessary to check the set mixture before each dive and to compare it
to the gas mixture currently used. Always remember: setting an incorrect mixture carries
an inherent risk of decompression sickness and/or oxygen toxicity! Maximum deviation
from the measured mixture must not exceed 1%O
lethal!
• Only use Aladin 2G with open circuit breathing systems.
• Only use Aladin 2G for diving with an independent breathing apparatus.
Aladin 2G is not designed for long term exposures with Nitrox.
• Always observe the visual and audible alarm signals. Avoid situations of increased risk
which are marked with a warning sign in this operating manual.
• Aladin 2G has a ppO
changed between 1.2 and 1.6bar.
• Frequently check the "oxygen clock" (CNS O
exceeds 75%.
• Never dive deeper than the Maximum Operating Depth (MOD) pertinent to the gas
mixture in use.
• Always check the diving limits considering the oxygen content and standard sports
diving procedures (decompression sickness, oxygen toxicity).
• In accordance with the recommended maximum diving limit of all instructional agencies,
do not dive deeper than 40 metres/130 feet.
• The danger of nitrogen narcosis has to be taken into consideration. Aladin 2G gives no
warning about this.
• On all dives, with or without dive computer, make a safety stop for at least 3 minutes at
5 metres (15 feet).
• All divers using dive computers to plan dives and indicate or determine decompression
status must use their own computer, which they take with them on all dives.
• If Aladin 2G fails at any time during the dive, the dive must be terminated, and
appropriate surfacing procedures (including a slow ascent and a 3 to 5 minute safety
stop at 5 metres /15 feet) should be initiated immediately.
• Comply with the ascent rate and carry out any decompression stop required. If the
computer should fail for any reason, you must ascend at a rate of 10m (30ft) per minute
or less.
