3. Diving with Aladin 2G
3.1.3 Nitrox information
(O
information)
2
For dives with compressed air in normal
recreational diving, nitrogen is the decisive
gas for the 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 and
can limit dive time and the max depth.
Aladin 2G includes this in the calculations
and displays the necessary information:
O
% mix Fraction
2
fraction of oxygen in the Nitrox mixture can
be set between 21% (normal compressed
air) and 100% in 1% increments. Your
selected mix will be the basis for all
calculations.
ppO
max Maximum allowed partial
2
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 ppO
called Maximum Operating Depth (MOD).
When you enter the settings for the gas
mixture, Aladin 2G will display the ppO
limit setting and the corresponding MOD.
Aladin 2G warns you audibly and visually
once the depth is reached at which the
ppO
reaches the maximum allowed value

NOTE:
• Default setting of ppO
The value of ppO
by means of SmartTRAK or with "set
1" between 1.2 and 1.6bar (->59). It
can also be changed at the time of
setting the gas mixture (->21).
• The CNS O
% value/alarm is not
2
influenced by the selected ppO
setting.
CNS O
% Oxygen toxicity: With the
2
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 O
increases, if the partial pressure of oxygen is
below 0.5bar, the CNS O
The closer the CNS O

the closer the limit where symptoms of
oxygen toxicity can occur.

• The audible attention messages
can be switched off in "set 1" ->58 or
SmartTRAK. With SmartTRAK they
can be switched off selectively.
• In addition, the sound can be turned

off completely in "set 2" ->65.
If you turn off the sound you will have no
audible warnings. Without audible warnings
you could inadvertently get into potentially
hazardous situations which could result in
