You have made an excellent choice!
This is not just an ordinary diving lamp,
but the result of the long and intense
collaboration of the technical divers of
the Cavebase and us.
It has been developed to withstand the
rigorous demands of exploration diving
in all situations. Our diving lamp reliably
delivers the highest performance at any
time.
We feel connected to the genius of the
pioneers of the WKPP and the test tube
design of the HID. There is no better way
to faciltate the replacement of the lamp
under water.
Our concern and aim was to further
develop and improve this design. The
time of the HID lamps is over. LEDs are
sturdier, more reliable, more energy-
efcient and thus safer.
Each component was subjected to
stresses during the tests. The test
conditions were far more extreme than
the conditions of the most difcult dives.
All used materials are of the highest
quality.
Together, they are the perfect
symbiosis of passion, reliability and
performance –
the Thor Rev 2.0!
Your dealer will gladly answer all
questions regarding your new primary
light.
Congratulations!
We are pleased to present your
new Thor Rev 2.0 primary light.

As a general rule:
• When diving, stay always within your
comfort zone and dive in accordance to your
experience and skills.
• Do not dive alone.
• Do always expect that the lamp, like any
other piece of equipment, may fail. Ensure
redundancy. Always have at least two back-
up lamps. Practice the replacement of the
back-up lamp.
• Do not exceed your limits without an
experienced diving instructor.
• Ensure proper diver training. Scuba diving is
nothing you can learn quickly during a few
dives.
• Practise the handling of the lamp.
• Do not direct the light beam at the eyes of
your dive buddy or other people/animals.
There is a risk of blindness or of the
temporary loss of vision, buoyancy control
and orientation!
• Do not open the electronics compartment!
The coolant in the lamp evaporates
immediately. Above that, it is skin-irritant! The
warranty will expire!
You should always take care to comply with the
permissible technical parameters. Failure to
observe this may lead to the destruction of the
product. The product is compatible with almost
any kind of battery canister equipped with an
E/O cord. Make sure that the polarity is correct.
Usually, + is grey and – is black on the battery
canister. Always make use of a voltmeter for
verication.
Rechargeable battery canisters of the brand
Halcyon have the correct polarity ex works,
as well as the battery packs of the companies
Light for Me and Light Monkey.

NEVER DISASSEMBLE
THE TUBE WITHOUT GOOD
REASON!
Due to the sealing between electronic
compartment and LED, the eld exchange
of the tube is not as easy as with the old
lamps which provided sufcient space for air
compression.
Disconnect every time the lighthead from the
power source when doing maintanance works
The Head and the Tube will be very hot after
usage. Be careful !
E/O cords need extensive care. Always (!)
rinse the lamp/the battery canister thoroughly
with fresh water after the use in seawater.
Additionally, use DeoxIT® Gold G Series
protective varnish, if needed.
If not rinsed and cleaned with fresh water
immediately after the dive, E/O cords corrode
already after a few dives. This leads to loose
connections and the cable must be replaced by
a new one.
Do not kink or compress the cable. Do not carry
or pull the lamp or the battery canister with the
cable. E/O cords are sensitive. A cable break is
not a defect covered by warranty, but natural
wear and tear.
The light will dim down automatically to avoid
overheating to protect the lighthead. After the
LED has cooled down it is possible to dim up
the light again
Be careful while handling the light. The light
may break if it fells down.
Make sure that the canister and the battery is
suitable for the use with the Thor lighthead. No
guarantee or waranty will be promised or given
for damages on the battery while using the
Thor lighthead.
Choose at every time the right light power
by using the Dimmer which suits wellt o the
surroundig dive conditions.

Operation of the lamp
Switch on the lamp at the battery canister
after having connected the E/O cords. You
can only regulate the dimming level with the
lamp head. The reason therefore is to prevent
the accidental switch off of the lamp while
adjusting the dimmer. This way, the diver does
not risk being in total darkness all of a sudden.
The dimmer is regulated by pressing the
dimmer switch shortly and  rmly. The lamp
has a Piezo switch. Piezo switches operate via
pressure difference. This means, long-lasting
pressure does not cause a switching operation.
The dimming levels are 100%, 75%, 50% and
25%. For individual dimming levels, please ask
your dealer.
The lamp is mounted
in assemblies.

Operation of the exchange system
(optional accessory)
If the lamp is
equipped with an
exchange system,
the lamp head can be
replaced under water
as follows:
In order to unlock the lamp head, turn the
screw counter-clockwise (see arrow) up to
the stop  rst.
For this purpose, the lamp has to be removed
from the wrist, because the locking pin blocks
at the back of the hand.
After this Unlock in a second action
the lamp head with a quarter turn
anticlockwise and pull it after this out
towards back. The locking works exactly
the other way round.

Always make sure that the parts of the lamps
are secured. Otherwise it can happen that a
part slips from the hand and vanishes forever
in the depths of the sea.
Practice regularly the exchange of the lamp
head and the exchange of the back-up lamp.
You must be able to master your equipment
and your skills “blind-fold”. A lack of practice
can be fatal.
It is recommended to regularly check the
functionality of the interchangeable unit.
Press the button from time to time.

Focusing
The lamp features a factory-installed focal system. The focusing is
activated by turning the lamp head. The ideal spot is situated in the centre
of the focus adjustment.
Unscrew the lamp head up to the removal position and then pull it out
carefully.
The O-rings serve to protect your lamp. Use O-ring grease when the focus
adjustment becomes dif cult to operate.
The threads, the O-rings as well as the shaft must be
cleaned in regular intervals and must be fl ushed with fresh
water. It is essential to check the focusing for foreign
objects after each dive.

13
Adjustment of the
lamp position
The position of the lamp can be adjusted by
loosening the screws of the cross member of
the Goodman handle. To do so, you must use
an Allen key size 3M. It can be inserted through
the lower holes of the handle.
Please only tighten the screws hand-tight.
Otherwise you will not be able to loosen them
afterwards without destroying the screw head.
To prevent corrosion due to
seawater, lubricate the screws
with O-ring grease before
screwing in.
Thumb-loop with cookie
fastener (optional accessory)
The thumb loop is connected with the
Goodman handle by a plate and two screws.
Optionally, it can be assembled in two ways.
The standard DIR position is at the right side.
You can attach up to three cookies to the
thumb loop.
The lamp can be attached to the handle of the
Suex scooter. For this purpose, use the screws
included in the scooter package. The Suex
attachment must be installed as follows (see
picture above).
Always tighten the screws only
hand-tight. Over-tightening the
screws will damage the threads.
Thumb-loop with cookie
fastener (optional accessory)

Attachment of the Shock Loops
Whilst performing tasks under water (such as
gas exchange), it is recommended not to hook
the lamp into the karabiner at the right side.
This brings the lamp in an upright position and
the light shines in the eyes and becomes a
source of glare.
It is better to put the lamp in a downward
position. This way, your work area is illuminated
without dazzling effects. The lamp cable should
be worn under the long hose and the abdominal
belt..
Use a double karabiner for the attachment to
the D-ring. During the dive, it can be carried at
the D-ring at the right shoulder or (even better)
in the leg pocket. When you need the karabiner,
attach it with the shock loop. We suggest
fastening the lamp with the karabiner at the
right D-ring.
A shock loop can be made from a massive
O-ring or from a strong cave rope.
The other holes are intended for the attachment
of a reserve shock loop.
Exchange of the reflector
The reflector is exchangeable. An exchange
is advisable when the surface of the reflector
becomes dull, due to mechanical damage or in
the course of time.
Use the special tool included in the reflector set
to loosen the xing ring.
Tighten the ring only hand-tight. At rst, make
sure that the reflector is positioned centrally.
Position the ring in a straight
manner. It will damage the
thread, if screwed in crookedly.
Previously, lightly grease the ring
with O-ring grease.

15
Exchange of the tube
Never pull off the tube without
reason. Do not touch the LED with
your ngers. It must not be soiled.
Do only use the separately available eld repair
kit to exchange the tube. Do not expose the
tube to moderate or heavy pressure – it will
break.
Before you start attaching the tube, grease the
O-rings with O-ring grease. The next step is to
place an approximately 1mm thick plastic hose
or a greased cave rope over the O-rings. Pull the
tube smoothly over the rst O-ring with a slight
rotation movement. Now, the air must escape
audibly.
Then, push up the tube almost up to the second
O-ring with a slight turning motion. Now, pull out
the hose or the cave line slowly and carefully.
Then, push the tube slowly over the second
O-ring.
A light fogging on the inside of the tube is
nothing to worry about, but normal. It does not
compromise the functionality of the lamp.
Care instructions
The lamp must be cleaned with clear fresh
water after each dive. Use a cleaning cloth for
glasses to dry the reflector. Do not apply excess
pressure while cleaning the reflector. This may
cause scratches.
In order to prevent corrosion, slightly grease the
E/O cords with O-ring grease before diving.
Do not bend the E/O cords and do not expose
them to any additional load. Do not carry the
lamp at the E/O cord.
Use the product only for lighting. It is not
suitable for other purposes. Do not expose the
lamp to shear or leverage forces as well as
physical strain.
