Taking Into Operation - Eaton SEB 9 Mode D'emploi

Check in case of a broken filament -
main lamp:
Should the main lamp fail during operation or
when being switched on, there will be an
automatic changeover to the pilot lamp. The
selected function of the switch position (steady
light or flashing light) and the diode display are
maintained.
Check of the pilot lamp:
While switching on the main beam lamp, the
searchlight checks the pilot lamp's state.
Should the latter be defective, the red LED will
pulse for some seconds (apx. 4 to 5 times).
Then the normal charge indication will appear.
If the pilot lamp is defective and the switch is
in "pilot light" position, the main beam lamp
will be operated with a lower current so as to
obtain the luminous intensity of the pilot lamp.
Deep discharge protection:
When the battery is nearly exhausted, there is
an automatic changeover to pilot light.
Should the battery's discharge be continued,
also the pilot lamp will be switched off.
Thus the battery's deep discharge will be
prevented and the battery be protected.
Mind! This mode will be a enabled in switch
positions
Bypass:
With the switch in "pilot light position, the
electronics will be bridged.
Due to this safety measure, the pilot lamp's
operation will be ensured even in the event of a
failure.
Attention!
In this mode of operation the lamp should
not be switched on unattended, since the
deep discharge protection in the interest of
personal protection "will not operate" . If the
auxiliary lamp goes out in this switch
position due to low battery capacity, put the
rotary switch in "0" (OFF) position. Remove
the searchlight from the explosive area
immediately and charge in "Service" switch
position as described in section 6: Repair/
Maintenance.
Reset:
Should the electronics be affected by external
influences (e. g. extremely strong electroma-
gnetic radiation lying above the permissible
EMC level), the processor will automatically
effect a reset.
The display of the battery's charging state
(LED's) can extinguish.
The desired function of the searchlight is
reestablished by turning the switch to 0 "Off"
and then back to the desired function.

Now the light emitting diodes again indicate the
current charging state.
Note: By means of the bypass function, a
long-time failure can be bridged.
Check of the charging state (service):
Check of the charging funcion means that the
battery is charged/discharged and charged.
Thereat the electronics will establish the actual
battery's state affected by ageing.
This function ensures an optimum charge of the
battery, while the indication of the charging
state is calibrated (see safety function "Service"
in para. 6, Maintenance/Servicing). This lamp
version with the warning lamp according to the
Road Traffic Licensing Regulations is supplied
with a special orange slip-on filters on the rear
mount.
Inserting the slip-on filter in the rear filter
compartment
To ensure safe transport in areas with an
explosive atmosphere, store the slip-on filters in
the slip-on filter holder or in the holder for the
screw connection ring.
Only use a damp cloth to clean the slip-on
filters.
The information signs with the permitted lamps
are visible after the threaded ring has been
unscrewed.
The information sign with the permitted battery
types is visible after the battery housing has
been opened.

Taking into operation

– Prior to operation, check ist correct
functioning and perfect condition in
accordance with these operating instruc-
tions and other applicable regulations!
– The portable searchlight may be opened or
charged outside of hazardous areas only!
– Make sure that the mains plug is clean and
dry!
– Initial use of charging:
Observe the operating instructions for the
CCH/CEAG charger that is used!
The type SEB 9 L portable searchlight can be
charged either directly from the mains (230
– 250 V ± 10 %, 50/60 Hz), or by means of the
LG 443 charger or the motor vehicle holder 90.
The type SEB 9 searchlight may only be
charged in the LG 443 charger or in the motor
vehicle charger 90.
EATON's Crouse-Hinds Business
For safety reasons, the battery is
delivered "uncharged"!
Prior to the initial use, the searchlight is to
be charged in "service" switch position in
accordance with para. 6., Maintenance/
Servicing.
In order to obtain the whole useful battery
capacity, the battery will have to be submitted
to at least 3 charging/discharging cycles.
For electrochemical reasons the battery's
charge cannot be ensured at temperatures
below -5°C.
At temperatures >30°C, a full charge of the
battery will not be possible for electrochemical
reasons.
Recommendation:
Prior to charging, the battery should be
preheated to obtain room temperature
(apx. 20°C).
Should the LED continue to pulse after the
run down of 20 hours' recharge period (fig. 4),
the ambient temperature will not permit a full
charge of the battery. The charging process
will be continued as soon as the temperature
admits so.
Note:
Irrespective of whether the switch is in "main
beam" or "flashing main beam"position, the
lighting function is switched off during the
charging process.
With the switch in "pilot lamp on" position,
the pilot lamp will light whereby the recharge
period is prolonged.
Should the mains supply be interrupted, either
the main beam or the flashlight will be switched
on (emergency light function in case of a mains
failure).
The battery being fully charged, the right-hand
LED changes from pulsing light to steady light
(fig. 3).
Should, after completion of the charging
process at room temperature, not all LED's light
up, that means that the battery has aged or is
defective and will have to be replaced. (see
Service safety function in para. 6, Maintenance/
Servicing).
Should the portable searchlight be stored in
charging position, the battery will automatically
be recharged with the energy used up by
self-discharge.
The charging process will be completed when
all LED's light steadily.
Should none of the LED's light when a
discharged battery is being recharged,
the charger will have to be checked (e. g. by
means of another portable searchlight).
