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).

Special Features of the SEB 8 ADR
EC Type Approval pursuant to Directive 94/55/EC
(Directive on the approximation of the laws of the
Member States with regard to the transport of
dangerous goods by road)
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.
Removing the orange slip-on filter from the mount
To do this, swivel the supporting foot of the slip-on
filter towards the handle and then pull it out and up
(Fig. 1)

To use the filter on the lamp-head, turn the threaded
focusing ring so that the marking groove is under
the handle (Fig. 2 "top").
Then, the slip-on filter can be inserted in the filter
mount from below (Fig. 2) when the lamp-head is
pivoted. The supporting foot of the slip-on filter
must then completely cover the sleeve of the lower
fixing screw.
Now the switching functions have been changed by
the two integrated magnets:
When the lamp-head has been pivoted, all switching
functions are decommissioned. When the lamp-
head is put in a horizontal position (light exit parallel
to the road surface), the flashing function is
automatically switched on. It is not possible to
switch this setting off.
To switch off, the lamp-head must be pivoted again
or the filter must be removed.
Inserting the slip-on filter in the rear filter
compartment
The slip-on filter inserted in the filter compartment
engages in the left-hand or right-hand stop of the
mount. It must therefore be used as the first filter,
other slip-on filters must be inserted behind it -
viewed from the lamp-head.
Mounting the belt hook (only SEB 8 DIN/SEB 8 L DIN)
The enclosed belt hook (Fig. 4) is to be fixed to the
A
lamp handle using 4 fixing screws (self-cutting)
including the washers (Fig. 4 A-B)

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.

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 CCH/
CEAG charger that is used!
The type SEB 8 L/SEB 8 L DIN 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.
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. 5).
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).
6. Maintenance/Servicing
As far as the maintenance, servicing and
test of electrical apparatus for explosive
atmospheres are concerned, the respective
national regulations in conjunction with the relevant
standards will be applicable!
Mind:
Because of the self-discharge of NiCd batteries, the
indication of the battery capacity should be checked
after 4 to 6 weeks and recharged to secure the
funktion of the capacity indication.
"Service" safety function:
The service function serves for recording the battery
state and balancing the battery state's display by the
electronics.
This process takes apx. 36 hours. In case full
capacity at any time is required, we recommend to
perform this service test at 6 months' intervals. The
test should be carried out at about 15°C to 25°C in
order to ensure an accurate calibration of the display.
