Battery Disposal; Health And Safety Information; Automatic Operation - Daniamant RL7 Instructions D'installation Et D'entretien

Maintenance
Routine service and battery change
RL7 units are maintenance free, but the following checks should be made at each service of the liferaft:
1. Check date on battery pack and external lamp. Both must be replaced when the expiry date is
reached. Consequently, if the battery or external lamp expiry date is earlier than the next liferaft
service then the units should be replaced.
2. Inspect light and batteries for signs of damage or corrosion.
3. Pull toggle from the RL7 battery unit – both lamps should illuminate and the external lamp should
flash immediately. If lamps fail to operate, replace entire unit. If lamps operate, replace toggle in
battery pack and switch off lamps; test is complete.
After use
The battery pack and external lamp must be changed after use.

Battery disposal

Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. This should be done through an approved
environmental disposal agent.
Safety
RL7 lights contain alkaline cells. These must be handled correctly:
— Do not dismantle light assembly housing
— Do not make any external electrical connection
— Do not recharge
— Do not incinerate
— Store between –30º C and +65º C

Health and Safety information

Daniamant alkaline­powered marine safety light systems have a design life of as indicated on the prod­
uct. The batteries are hermetically sealed pressurised primary alkaline cells, and are environmentally
protected by a moulded plastic housing. In this condition the units pose no definable hazard to health.
Information on the composition and behaviour of these products is contained in the Product Safety Data
Sheet, available from our website at www.daniamant.com.

Automatic operation

Although mounting methods will depend on the intended application, the single­pull toggle is intended
to be attached to a suitable point on the liferaft such that it is dragged out of the battery unit when the
liferaft is inflated, so illuminating both lamps. (For example, the battery unit may be attached to the roof
of the liferaft, with the toggle being attached to a lower point by a lanyard.)
