An LED indicating the charging state and
capacity (fig. 1, item 2) is laterally arranged on
the lamphead.
A swivelling pocket containing the slip-on
filters is locked in on the back of the lamphead
(fig. 1, item 3/5).
By turning the pocket, the charging lead is
accessible (fig. 1, item 4).
Max. three slip-on filters (diffusing lenses) can
be kept in the pocket.
On the bezel ring there are located spring-
loaded cams (fig. 1, item 7) into which one
slip-on filter can be inserted (Mind: Insert
from one side only).
By turning the bezel ring (apx. 2 turns), the
light beam can be adjusted from short to long
range (fig. 1, item 6). The swivelling lamphead
can be adjusted through apx. 100° (fig. 1).
In order to increase the stability of the portable
searchlight, a slide provided on the bottom of
the battery container can be backwards pulled
out (fig. 2, item 1).
Safety functions of the portable searchlight:
The series SEB 8 portable searchlights feature
some functions that make their use simple and
safe.
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 "main beam" and "flashing main
beam". In position "pilot lamp" the deep
discharge protection will be disabled by the
bypass mode (see bybass)
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".
Reset:
Should the electronics be affected by external
influences (e. g. extremely strong
electromagnetic 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 function 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).

5. Taking into operation

Prior to ooperation, check ist correct
functioning and perfect condition in
accordance with these operating
instructions 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
CEAG charger that is used!
The type SEB 8 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 8 searchlight may only be
charged in the LG 443 charger or in the motor
vehicle charger 90.
Mind:
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 14 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.
