Installation
The exact method of mounting will depend on the proposed installation. The fixings of the RL5 assembly
have been designed to offer a wide choice of mounting methods.
Light The external lamp has a dome surrounded by a collar with four securing holes.
Battery The battery case of the RL5 has four fixing loops.
Operation
When installed for automatic operation, the light will illuminate and flash when the raft is inflated.
Slide switches on the sides of the battery pack may be pressed down and up to turn each lamp on or off.
Maintenance
Routine service and battery change
RL5 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. Remove connector, lightly grease
battery connector 'O' ring with silicone grease and replace connector.
3. Pull toggle from the RL5 battery unit – both lamps should illuminate and the external lamp should
flash immediately. If lamps fail to operate, go to step 4. If lamps operate, replace toggle in battery
pack and switch off lamps; test is complete.
4. 4. If lamps still fail to operate, replace battery pack with checked unit and retest from step 3. If
lamps continue to malfunction, replace complete RL5 assembly with a checked unit.
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
RL5 lights contain lithium 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 –30ºC and +65ºC
