Purpose
Ammonite System® torches are designed for underwater use. However, it is possible to use them above the
surface of water (for a few minutes). Always avoid sudden cooling of the heated torch. Do not immerse hot
head of the torch in water as it may cause its damage.
Before using the Ammonite System® torch, its tightness should be checked, i. e. if all the parts tightened with
the o-rings are correctly screwed and whether the connecting cable is properly tightened.
O-rings cannot be soiled, any damage such as: scratches, cracks and cuts may cause leaks and in the con-
sequence lead to the torch damage.
To switch the torch on you have to use the switch knob. Before switching the torch on you should connect
the battery to the head and then turn the knob. When the knob changes its position, it can be felt as a specific
click. Switching the torch of should be done in a similar way. The knob can be turned in both directions.
In case of HID torches type, directly after switching off you should wait 30 sec. before switching it on again.
Rapid switching on and off may cause the damage of the torch.
RADICAL, NANO, PRIME, SOLARIS, HELIOS and SPOT type of torches are equipped with the switch that enab-
les to regulate the light and – in case of LED torches – battery discharge warning system. When the battery
is discharged the light flashes repeatedly and then, regardless of the switch position, it operates only in safe
mode (the torch lights in 20% power backup mode). In such case the battery needs to be changed; further
use in safe mode is possible but may cause the damage of the battery pack.
Fastening of the torch
The Ammonite System® torch tank is on a standard basis fastened to a hip belt of the harness on the right side.
The head of the torch is kept in the hand by the Goodman’s handle.
Thanks to the Goodman’s handle both hands are free during diving. However, depending on the diver’s indi-
vidual preferences, a different way of fastening of the torch is possible. Details concerning different ways of
fastening and additional handles are available on: www.ammonitesystem.com
