Use of the BenthoTorch
bbe BenthoTorch Manual Page 15
Operation Modes
Three operation modes can be used with the BenthoTorch.
• Single mode:
after starting, one measurement is carried out. The end of the measurement is indicated by a vibration.
Afterwards the result is displayed.
• Continuous mode:
The BenthoTorch operates continuously with the given parameters Measuring Time. The measurements
are executed directly one after the other.
To interrupt the auto-mode measurement, turn the Algae Torch upside down and back again as described in
the “Starting the BenthoTorch” section.
• Interval mode:
The BenthoTorch operates continuously with the given parameters Measuring Time and Interval. If the
interval is longer than the measuring time, the BenthoTorch switches off between the measurements.
To interrupt the auto-mode measurement, turn the Algae Torch upside down and back again as described
in the “Starting the BenthoTorch” section.
• Under water measurements (divers)
o Activate the interval mode and use a long interval time
o Start the measurement before diving. The first measurement will be taken on air. After that the
BethoTorch will enter the standby mode
o Use the magnetic bar to start the BenthoTorch again. It will conduct one measurement and
enter the standby afterwards
o Repeat this procedure for all measurement sites
Operation of the BenthoTorch by Capacitive Touch Keys
The BenthoTorch is equipped with 4 capacitive keys with vibration feedback. The keys are located below the
display. To actuate a key, just touch the marked area. The actuation is reconfirmed by the BenthoTorch via a
short palpable vibration.
