The canister is congured for aaching to the diver's waist belt. The unique
three-fold webbing aachment on your Halcyon Light is held in place by
two stainless steel bands. The three-piece fold holds the light with more
stability than convenonal methods, and prevents the light from accidentally
releasing from the diver's hip. The steel bands can be raised or lowered on
the canister to balance the light on your hip; the canister should rest parallel
to your body when mounted on your harness.
Delrin Canisters
Halcyon canisters are milled out of a solid rod of Delrin. The one-piece
design ensures a structural integrity not found in any other available dive
light. Delrin shares the same characteriscs of industrial metals such as
aluminum and stainless steel. Some comparable properes include sness,
dimensional stability, impact resistance, and structural strength. Material
operaonal temperatures range from 180° F (82° C) to -100° F (-73° C). The
one-piece Delrin canister is virtually indestrucble under normal usage.
Although the canister itself can withstand depths of over 3,000 feet/909
meters, the maximum recommended working depth of the Halcyon Explorer
line is 300 feet/90 meters. All Halcyon lights feature high quality nickel plated
brass ngs and stainless steel locking latches.
Halcyon lights use a lid-integrated set of plugs to connect to the baery pack.
Simply line up the plugs with the gold-edged receptacles on the top of the
baery pack and push down unl the lid rests on top of the baery pack's
delrin cap. The lid can be rotated 180-degrees and plugged into the "dummy
holes" on the baery cap so the light can be transported without a "hot"
connecon. To charge the Explorer, Eos or Apollo baery, rmly secure the
charger's plug into the gold-edged receptacles on the top of the baery pack.
Always charge your baery with the pack removed from the canister– the
charger plug will not t on the baery pack when it is sll in the canister.
Halcyon Power Systems
Halcyon carefully selects from among the nest baeries available, to
provide enhanced performance and reliability for our lighng systems. Our
Explorer and Apollo NiMH baery packs provide extended burn mes with
the advantage of dramacally reduced size over that of a sealed lead acid.
High quality baeries typically result in the maintenance of longer burn
mes over the life of the baery. Burn mes for Halcyon's lights are listed in
Appendix A.
Battery Care and Maintenance
Rechargeable baeries can release small amounts of combusble gas that
can become dangerous in a sealed environment. The release of gas is more
prominent while the baeries are being over-charged or deeply discharged.
