GTLS – Gaseous Tritiu Light Sources | Triglights

This KHS Platoon is equipped ith the best GTLS currently available on the market and hich

are made by the S iss firm mb-microtec. GTLS are minute, hermetically sealed

glass vials that have a fluorescent coating on the inside. They contain a small amount of

gaseous tritium. The electrons emitted by the tritium gas permanently excite the

fluorescent coating.

GTLS hich come from the market leader mb-microtec have a longevity of 20 years or more.

Although the initial brightness of the light sources is affected by a variety of factors, a certain

decrease in brightness is unavoidable over time, ho ever. The so-called half-life of tritium is

some hat more than 12 years. After this period elapses, the brightness is noticeably less, but

substantially higher than that of conventionally illuminated atches.

GTLS and all other electronic atch components must al ays disposed of ithin the

frame ork of existing legislation. If you ant disposed of your KHS Platoon, please

contact your authorised KHS dealer or your relevant KHS Service Center.

Battery

This KHS Platoon possesses a high-quality S iss quartz movement that is battery-po ered

such that inding is not necessary. According to the movement's manufacturer, the battery

should last 60 months ith a rate variation of just approx. ±0.66 seconds a day.

You only have to set the time and date.

Since the battery is installed by the manufacture to check the functionality of the movement,

its expected useful life may be less than cited due to time in storage. If the battery is dis-

charged, it should al ays be replaced as soon as possible in order to prevent any possible

battery leakage. We recommend that you have the battery replaced by an authorised

KHS dealer.

IMPORTANT: Even though the manufacture of the movement cites a service life of up to 36

months for the quartz movement installed in this KHS Platoon, e ould advise you to have

the battery replaced every 24 months or 2 years at least! Doing so ensures that there is no

possible battery leakage, hich could result in repairing or replacing the entire atch

movement.

Crown

cro n-seal. The cro n only has to be pulled out in order to set the time or date and

then to be pushed back in.

Pulling the cro n:

up to the first lock-in position (Setting the date in quick mode) or the second lock-in

position (Setting the Time).

Closing the cro n:

Push the cro n back in to the starting position.

IMPORTANT: After every time you change the time or date, make sure that the cro n

is pushed back in to ensure that the atch remains atertight. Under no circumstances

should you ever use force or tools to pull the cro n or push it back in place.

Watertightness

Your KHS Platoon is atertight up to 5 bar. For that reason, your atch is suited, of course, for

s imming, bathing, car ashing, to scrub up or any other normal contact ith ater.

To make sure that your KHS Platoon remains atertight, e recommend you to take it to an

authorised KHS dealer to have them check all the seals and the crystal periodically. We also

advise you to have the battery replaced every 2 years (e.g. directly ith the battery

replacement recommended by us).

Do NOT allo your KHS Platoon to come in contact ith chemicals. In order to ensure that

your atch remains fully functional for a long time, you should protect your atch from

extreme temperatures and vibrations.
