Frequently Asked Questions - R5-R15 SEAC

What is the maximum operating depth of the SEAC R15 flashlight?

The SEAC R15 flashlight is designed for underwater diving and can be used up to a depth of 100 meters. Its NBR O-rings and aluminum housing ensure reliable waterproofing.

How do I change the flashlight battery?

To replace the battery, unscrew the aluminum cap at the end of the handle counterclockwise, remove the plastic ring, then insert the new battery respecting the polarity: the positive (+) pole must be facing the head of the flashlight. Lubricate the seals with silicone grease and screw it back on tightly.

What type of battery should I use?

Use exclusively a Li-ion 18650 battery, 3.7 V and 2,200 mAh. Using another type could damage the flashlight or cause a short circuit. Always check polarity before insertion.

How do I recharge the battery?

The SEAC R15 flashlight is supplied without a charger. Use a USB charger suitable for Li-ion 18650 batteries with an output of 5 V and a current of 1 A to 2 A. Remove the battery from the flashlight to charge it and never leave it unattended.

How do I adjust the diameter of the light beam?

The beam is adjustable from 12° to 75°. Hold the handle firmly with one hand and turn the flashlight head at the rubber ring. You get a wider or more concentrated beam depending on the direction of rotation.

How does the flashlight switch work?

The switch is magnetic and sliding. Push the button forward once to turn on or off. To vary the intensity, hold the button forward: the brightness changes continuously. Release to keep the chosen intensity.

How do I activate the safety against accidental ignition?

The flashlight is equipped with a locking system: turn the safety ring to lock the switch. This prevents the light from turning on accidentally in a bag or during transport. Consult the manual for the exact instructions.

What maintenance does the flashlight require?

After each dive, rinse the flashlight with fresh water and dry it. Regularly check the O-rings and lubricate them with silicone grease. Never remove the tightening ring when the flashlight is wet or underwater.

Can I use the flashlight out of water for a long time?

It is not advisable to leave the flashlight on out of water for long periods, as heat could affect the LED and internal components. In land use, limit the duration and keep the flashlight ventilated.

What to do if the flashlight does not turn on?

First check the battery polarity and its charge status. If the battery is correctly inserted and charged, check the contact seals and clean them. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service center and use original spare parts.

ADJUSTABLE LIGHT BEAM WIDTH

The torch has a system that allows users to adjust the angle of the light cone during use from 12° to 75° by turning the head.

Grasp the handle of the torch firmly with one hand, and with the other grip the head of the torch where the special rubber ring is located. Rotate one direction or another depending on whether you want the light beam to be broader or narrower.

WARNING

During this operation, be careful to grasp the base of the torch firmly and do not touch the end cap, because unscrewing this could cause the torch to flood.

WARNING

Strictly follow the polarity markings when inserting the battery!

INSERTING BATTERY

• Unscrew the aluminum cap at the end of the handle, turning counterclockwise.
• Remove the plastic charging ring, turning counter-clockwise.
• Insert the battery, making sure that the positive pole (+) is pointing into the torch.
• Grease the sealing O-rings with a layer of silicone grease.
• Screw the plastic recharging ring nut back on clockwise, taking care not to damage the threading while doing so.
• Screw the aluminum terminal at the end of the handle back on all the way, turning clockwise.

WARNING

Failure to fully tighten this cap could result in water leaking into the torch during use.

- Check that the torch switches on using the switch.

WARNING

If the battery is inserted incorrectly (inverted polarity), a short circuit will be created, causing irreversible damage and a risk that the torch could explode.

SWITCH

The torch has an on/off and continuous light power adjustment system operated by a magnetic sliding switch: to turn the torch on and off simply push the button forward once.

To change the brightness of the light, press the button forward and hold it there. The brightness will change continuously as long as the button is held forward. To set the torch brightness at the desired intensity, simply release the button.

ENGAGING OR DISENGAGING THE SAFETY

The torch features an exclusive and effective safety system, designed to prevent the torch from switching on accidentally. To insert the safety, rotate the circular ring nut right below the switch as far as it can go. The pointer engraved into the ring nut will line up with the closed lock icon. The switch will be locked. To disengage the safety, simply turn the ring nut the other way until the pointer lines up with the open lock icon. In the position the switch is not secured and is operative.

PRE-DIVE INSPECTION

• If your torch has not been used recently, check the condition of the batteries by ensuring that it switches on.
• Check that the body is fully closed.
• As soon as you enter the water, check that no bubbles emerge from the body of the torch.

RECHARGING THE BATTERY

WARNING

Pay the utmost attention to ensuring that there are no flammable objects or products near the torch while it is charging.

• Unscrew the end cap counter-clockwise (where the strap attaches).
• Insert the micro-USB cable connector to the port on the torch and connect the other end to a 5 Volt, 1 or 2 Amp power adapter. The red LED near the micro-USB housing on the end of the torch will light up immediately. This indicates that the battery is charging. When the LED turns green, it means that the battery is fully charged. Unplug the connector plugged to the power adapter or computer USB port first, and then unplug the micro-USB connector from the torch.

WARNING

Avoid leaving the torch connected to the power once it is charged, and in any event not longer than a few hours. Failure to do so could cause damage to the product and pose a danger to people and/or things.

FLOODING

If water gets into the torch, open the body, remove the battery, and immediately rinse the internal parts in fresh water. Then dry everything with a cloth and a hair dryer using warm air, paying close attention to mechanical parts. Remove any oxide that may have formed on the metal parts and conduct an operations test.

If a significant quantity of water has entered the torch and has remained there for a long period, open the torch body and immediately rinse the internal parts in fresh water. We suggest that you immediately contact a competent repair center or contact the closest SEAC shop.

USAGE RESTRICTIONS

• The maximum operating depth is 100 m.
• Because of the high temperatures that can arise in the torch when used out of the water, we recommend that you use it exclusively underwater.

MAINTENANCE AND TRANSPORT

It is important to abide by the following instructions:

• Always transport the torch in a bag that will protect it from any blows.
• When you aren't using the torch, always make sure you have fully inserted the safety in order to prevent the torch from switching on accidentally, which could cause fires. For extended transport in the trunk or hold, it's good practice to always remove the batteries from the torch. This provision may be mandatory with certain airlines.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.
• After a dive (sea, lake, or pool), always rinse with fresh water and dry.
• Check the condition of the gaskets (O-rings) every time you open the body of the torch.
• Clean and grease the parts involved in opening the torch with silicone grease.
• Avoid cleaning the torch with products containing chlorine (sodium hypochlorite/bleach, etc.), aggressive surfactants (such as degreasers), or solvents to avoid damaging the rust protectant anodic treatment, the plastic parts, and the sealing gaskets.
• It is advisable to have your product inspected annually by an authorised SEAC center.
