Taking Into Operation - Eaton Crouse-Hinds Série Mode D'emploi

Explosion protected portable searchlight
SEB 8, SEB 8 L, SEB 8 ADR, SEB 8 DIN, SEB 8 L DIN
To use the filter on the lamp-head, turn the
threaded focusing ring so that the marking
groove is under the handle (Fig. 7 "top").
Then, the slip-on filter can be inserted in the
filter mount from below (Fig. 7) 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.
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 compart-
ment 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. 9) is to be fixed to
the lamp handle using 4 fixing screws
(self-cutting) including the washers (Fig. 9 A-B).

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).
