Charging the AlgaeTorch with the power supply



Connect the small end of the cable to the box of the “connecting cable” of the AlgaeTorch.



Connect the power supply to the mains.

The AlgaeTorch will start up and show the charging process by moving bars in the battery symbol.

12:00:00 menu

When the internal battery is charged completely, the battery symbol will be completely filled and it will stop
moving.

Starting the AlgaeTorch

The AlgaeTorch is equipped with a position sensor. To switch it on, turn the AlgaeTorch upside down and back
again in one quick movement.

The AlgaeTorch then switches on. Please confirm the start of the instrument by touching the corresponding left
key. Do not touch any key during the turning procedure.

bbe AlgaeTorch

switch torch on?

YES NO

The confirmation is done in order to avoid unwanted starts, for example during transport.

If the AlgaeTorch is equipped with a reed switch to switch it on with a magnet, a symbol is printed on the label of
the AlgaeTorch. Please tip on the symbol with the magnet to switch the AlgaeTorch on. The magnetic switch can
be used alternatively to the tilt mechanism (described above).
