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

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

NOTE:
• The audible attention messages
can be switched off in "set 1" ->58 or
