Setup

Before your first dive, ensure the console is properly set up and connected to your diving equipment.

1. Initial Inspection:

• Unpack the console and inspect it for any visible damage.
• Verify all components are present as listed in the product packaging.

2. Battery Installation/Check:

The Aladin One Matrix comes with a user-replaceable battery. While typically pre-installed, it's good practice to confirm its status or replace it if needed, especially before extended periods of non-use or if the low battery indicator appears.

• Refer to the battery compartment on the back of the unit.
• Use the appropriate tool (if required) to open the compartment.
• Insert a new CR2450 battery, ensuring correct polarity.
• Securely close the battery compartment to maintain water integrity.

3. Console Connection:

Connect the 3-gauge console to your first stage regulator's high-pressure port. Ensure a secure and leak-free connection.

• Align the high-pressure hose fitting with the corresponding port on your first stage.
• Hand-tighten the connection, then use a wrench to snug it securely, but do not overtighten.
• Perform a leak check by slowly pressurizing your system and listening for any hissing sounds.

Operating Instructions

Understanding the display and navigation is crucial for effective use of your Aladin One Matrix console.

1. Display Overview:

The console features a clear LCD display for digital information and an analog gauge for pressure. The digital display shows:

• Top Row: Current Depth
• Middle Row: Dive Time, No-Stop Time
• Bottom Row (Matrix): Additional dive parameters, warnings, and menu options.

2. Two-Button Navigation:

The Aladin One Matrix uses two buttons for navigation and setting parameters. Typically, one button is for scrolling or changing values, and the other is for selection or entering a menu.

• Short Press: Cycles through information or options.
• Long Press: Enters/exits menus or confirms selections.

3. Pre-Dive Settings:

Before each dive, ensure your console is set to the correct parameters:

• Saltwater/Freshwater Mode: Select the appropriate water type for accurate depth readings.
• Units: Confirm depth and pressure units (e.g., meters/feet, bar/PSI).
• Dive Planner: Utilize the built-in dive planner to review no-decompression limits for your planned dive.

4. During the Dive:

• Monitoring: Regularly check your depth, dive time, no-stop time, and tank pressure (analog gauge).
• Backlight: Activate the backlight in low-light conditions for improved visibility.
• Alarms: Pay attention to visual and audible alarms for ascent rate, depth limits, and safety stops.
• Safety Stop: The console features an automatic safety stop with a timer. Ascend to the safety stop depth (typically 15 feet/5 meters) and remain there until the timer clears.

5. Post-Dive Data Transfer:

After your dive, you can transfer your dive data for logging and analysis.

• Ensure your console is in data transfer mode.
• Use the Bluetooth 4.0 low-energy interface to connect to a compatible PC, Mac, Android, or iOS device.
• Utilize SCUBAPRO's dive logging software (or compatible third-party applications) to download and review your dive profiles.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance extends the life of your Aladin One Matrix console and ensures its reliability.

1. Rinsing and Cleaning:

• After each dive, thoroughly rinse the console with fresh water.
• Ensure all salt, sand, and debris are removed, especially around buttons and the hose connection.
• Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials for cleaning.
• Allow the console to air dry completely in a shaded area before storage.

2. Battery Replacement:

The battery is user-replaceable. Replace the battery when the low battery indicator appears or approximately every two years/300 dives, whichever comes first.

• Use only the specified battery type (CR2450).
• Carefully follow the instructions for opening and sealing the battery compartment to prevent water intrusion.
• Inspect the O-ring for any damage or debris and apply a thin layer of silicone grease if necessary before re-sealing.

3. Storage:

• Store the console in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Avoid storing with other sharp objects that could scratch the display or housing.
• If storing for an extended period, consider removing the battery to prevent leakage.
