HIGH TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT
CAERBERUS series torches are protected against high temperatures.
In general, high temperatures can damage LED, electrical compo-
nents and batteries. CAERBERUS project uses two thermal sensors
and specific software able to manage effectively the most critical
situations.
High temperatures can be reached if CAERBERUS torches are turned
on at their maximum power out of water. In such situations, if criti-
cal temperatures are detected by the sensors, CAERBERUS elec-
tronics starts to limit power on LED until safer temperatures have
been reached (in this case, a reduction in light intensity will be not-
ed). If, on the other hand, temperatures continue to rise, the elec-
tronics will turns the torch off.
LOW TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT
CAERBERUS series torches are protected against low temperatures.
When external temperatures fall below 0°C, batteries can suffer and
be unable to satisfy power requests. At low temperatures, battery
discharge autonomy may vary considerably.
CAERBERUS is equipped with special software, called Soft Start,
which is able to identify low temperatures and consequently man-
age electrical parameters to protect the battery. Thanks to this
software, the battery is progressively heated up prior to delivering
maximum power.
WHY HAVE THREE DEGREES OF LIGHT INTENSITY?
The three “On” modes enable divers to manage the light and
consequently the burn-time according to the dive condition.
In very low visibility condition it is important to reduce the back-
scattering effect and it can be done by reducing the flux emitted by
the torch.
The maximum power is always required for underwater
communication.
