Taking Into Operation; Maintenance/Servicing - CEAG SEB 9 Mode D'emploi

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".
If the auxiliary lamp goes out in this switch position
due to low battery capacity, put the rotary switch in
"0" (OFF) position.
Remove the searchlight from the explosive area
immediately and charge in "Service" switch position
as described in section 6: Repair/Maintenance.
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 funcion 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).

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.
Inserting the slip-on filter in the rear filter
compartment
To ensure safe transport in areas with an explosive
atmosphere, store the slip-on filters in the slip-on
filter holder or in the holder for the screw connection
ring.
Only use a damp cloth to clean the slip-on filters.
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 9 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 9 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 20 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. 3).
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! (IEC 60079-17)
Mind:
Because of the self-discharge of NiMH batteries, the
indication of the battery capacity should be checked
after 2 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
Performance of the service:
1.Put the searchlight on charge.
2.Turn the rotary switch to "service" position.
Automatic run of the following processes:
3.The searchlight's battery will be charged.
The display of the charging state (LED's) shows a
travelling light from left to right.
4.Charging being completed, the searchlight will
undergo a controlled discharge via the main beam
lamp. The display of the charging state (LED's)
shows a travelling light from right to left.
5.The battery state will be memorized.
6.The battery will again be recharged.
Thereat, the display of the charging state (LED's)
(fig. 3) indicates a normal charging process.
If not all LEDs light up at room temperature after
charging is complete, the battery is old or faulty and
must be replaced.
Note:
The more often a service is performed, the lower the
deviation of the charging state's display will be.
Attention:
Should the service run be interrupted, e. g. because
of: a defective main bulb, a mains failure, changing
the rotary switch position (display: green LED's will
light, red LED will pulse), eliminate the fault (e. g.
replace main bulb) and re-initiate the service run.
Lamp replacement:
Lamp replacement may only be performed in a "non-
hazardous area"!
The sign lables with permissible lamps will be visable
after removing the brezel ring
1.Switch off the searchlight and disconnect the plug
from the mains supply.
2.Unscrew the hexagon socket head screw (fig. 1,
item 7) on the lamphead.
3.Then remove the bezel ring by turning it left (fig. 1,
item 8).
4.Lift the bulb out of the bayonet holder (main beam
lamp: press - turn left - pull) (fig.1, item 9) (pilot
lamp: press - turn right - pull) (fig.1, item 9).
5.Fit in the new bulb and close the lamphead in
inverse order.
Note:
For focussing the main bulb, there are 3 lock-in
positions provided in the holder.
Mind:
Take care that the gasket is clean and undamaged.
Check the firm fit of the hexagon socket head screw.
Battery replacement:
Battery replacement may only be performed in a
"non-hazardous area"!
The sign lable with permissible batteries will be
visable after opening the battery container
1. Switch off the searchlight and disconnect the
plug from the mains supply.
2. The slide on the bottom of the battery container
is pushed back so that the hexagon socket in
the drill hole of the slide becomes visible
(fig. 2, item 1).
3. Using the screw driver joined, unscrew the
hexagon socket head screw and pull off the
battery container.
Attention:
Avoid short-circuiting!
4. Detach the blue (-) and the yellow (+) battery lead
(fig.2, item 3a/b) as well as the plug connection
(fig. 2, item 4) and remove the battery set.
5. Fit in the new battery set and connect the leads,
observing the polarity. Blue (-) (fig. 2, item 3a)
and yellow (+) battery lead
(fig. 2, item 3b).
Caution: Do not squeeze leads!
6. Close the searchlight in inverse order.
Mind: Check the tight fit of the hexagon socket
head screw.
7. Perform a service run as described in para. 6.
Note:
Observe the national regulations on waste disposal.
