Info

• Dimmer provides full range of brightness and operating time • Operates from 3 hours (fully bright) up to 8 hours (dimmer halfway) on a fully charged battery • Supplied with DC charger • Rubber cap seals recharge port to keep out moisture and dust • Lit Recharge LED shows charging; LED Not lit shows not charging or FULL charge FIGURE 1 SCREW POWER PORT SCREW SWITCH/DIMMER OPERATION/AC CHARGING GREEN CHARGING LED There is a direct time trade off between lamp operation (brightness) and the time it takes to recharge the battery. Your lamp battery cannot be overcharged if left continuously connected to the AC charger/adapter. If the lamp switch is turned off, the green LED will indicate external power and recharging. With the dimmer switch off, allow at least 10 hours for complete recharging if battery is fully discharged. The battery will charge slowly if the lamp is on and the dimmer is set midway. The battery will not charge or discharge when the lamp is set to full brightness as all energy supplied by the recharger will be used to power the lamp. The green LED will change from lit to not lit when battery is fully charged. See table for LED and battery conditions. Make sure that the AC charger/adapter is powered from the correct AC source. It must only be powered from 110 Volts AC 60 Hz and kept dry. Only use the supplied AC charger/adapter with this lamp. Substituting this AC charger/adapter for another may damage the lamp's internal charging circuits and void the warranty.

To power or recharge the lamp, plug the AC charger/adapter barrel connector into the Power Port located on the base of the lamp. Plug the AC charger/adapter into a standard 110 VAC 60 Hz electric socket. Observe that the green LED Lights. DC CHARGER This DC Charger allows your lamp to be recharged from a 12 volt source. The 12 volt DC source can be a cigarette lighter type socket on a vehicle or boat, a jump starter or battery pack as long as it has a minimum capacity of 10 ampere hours. Your lamp has a 6 volt, 6 amp hour rechargeable sealed lead acid battery inside, so the charging voltage should be nominally 7.5 volts. The supplied DC Charger converts 12 VDC to 7.5 VDC. See figure 4. CAUTIONS - Do not use any other DC Charger with this lamp; you may damage the lamp charging circuit and void the warranty. - Do not allow the DC Charger to continuously operate for more than 17 hours. - The lamp will not accept a charge if the switch is set on and set to dim. - Recharge time for this lamp is 17 hours with the lamp OFF. - Operating the lamp during DC recharge will cause damage and void the warranty DC RECHARGE - Make sure the lamp switch is OFF - Insert the DC plug into the powered DC socket. - Insert the adapter's barrel connector into the Power Port at the base of the lamp. - Observe the green LED and make sure it is lit. - Charge until the green LED changes to unlit. This indicates full battery charge. - Disconnect the DC Charger from the DC source and the lamp. If the lamp does not accept a charge; check the following: - Make sure the lamp is turned OFF - Make sure the DC source is providing 12 volts DC. - Try charging using the AC Charger/Adapter. If the battery accepts the charge, the DC Charger may be damaged. Call Vector Technical Support. FIGURE 4 DC CHARGER 3
