DISASSEMBLY OF THE TRAVELER™ BC The Traveler™ is not designed to be disassembled. This system can only be used with a single tank. It is not possible to use other BCs with the Traveler™. If you are looking for a modular system, please see our Infinity™ and Eclipse™...
FITTING THE HALCYON TRAVELER™ BC While standing on land, your BC should be snug but not uncomfortably tight. In the water your harness should be snug enough to prevent notable motion of the cylinder as you change orientation, but not too tight so as to bind or restrict your complete range of shoulder and arm movement.

Once you have properly sized your Secure Harness, you will want to fine-tune the position of the D-rings. The shoulder D-rings should be positioned relatively high on the shoulder straps. Figure 5 To position the shoulder D-rings, extend your arms straight out to the side, parallel to the ground. Bend at the elbow and bring your thumb straight to the shoulder strap.
The Halcyon Traveler™ has been designed to work with a maximum 12 pounds (6kg). The back side of your BC plate has four fixtures, each designed to hold 3 pounds (1.5kg). You must be sure not to use overly large weights or weight that exceeds these limits.
WARNING • Do not use the straps if they are becoming worn or if the velcro is not holding tightly. • Do not use more than 3lb (1.5kg) per fixture. FINAL ASSEMBLY WARNING: The cam straps may stretch after they become wet. Always wet the straps prior to making the final adjustment, and apply enough tension to ensure that the cylinder is held completely secure.
OPTIONAL LIGHT FIXTURE ASSEMBLY Figure 10 If you wish to carry a primary, hip-mounted light then you should purchase the optional Halcyon light fixture assembly, which allows the light to remain fixed at your waist while the harness adjusts freely. (Fig. 10) INSTALLING THE OPTIONAL LIGHT RETAINER ASSEMBLY •...
INSTALLING THE OPTIONAL ACB WEIGHT POCKETS To facilitate the use of releasable weight, Halcyon offers the optional Active Control Ballast (ACB) Integrated Weight Pockets. These are designed to replace the need for a conventional weight belt. The ACB is comprised of two weight pockets attached to the harness waist belt.
Before each use, the BC must be given a thorough visual inspection and functionality test. Do not dive with a BC that shows signs of damage unless a complete inspection is performed by an authorized Halcyon dealer. As part of your normal yearly service, you should ensure your Halcyon technician periodically checks the entire Buoyancy Compensator, including the OPV, for damage or corrosion.
• Avoid any contact with oil, gasoline, or other solvents or contaminants. ADDITIONAL WARNINGS CAUTION: Recommended working pressure of the Halcyon BC inflator is 120 psi (8.3 bar) to 160 psi (11 bar). CAUTION: The operating temperature range of the Halcyon BC system is -20 Celsius (-4 Fahrenheit) to 70 Celsius (158 Fahrenheit).
POST-DIVE MAINTENANCE To prevent permanent damage from corrosion, salt crystals, or chlorine attack, thoroughly rinse the BC inside and out with fresh water after every day of use, using the following procedure: Pressurize the power inflator with low-pressure air via the quick-disconnect hose. CAUTION: Before rinsing, ensure that the power inflator is pressurized with air.
Should your HALCYON BC prove to be defective for any reason (other than those listed in the limitations section below), it will be repaired or replaced (at HALCYON’s discretion) free of charge excluding shipping and handling charges. All correspondence concerning this warranty must be accompanied by a copy of the original sales receipt.
