Instructions for use Hartenberger High-Tech-UW-Lamp nano compact
Warning!
Terminate the dive following standard safe diving practices and open the
housing as soon as possible.
An extended period of flooding, in particular salt water flooding, may cause
a failure of this warning function.
OVER PRESSURE WARNING
If the pressure inside the housing increases (e.g. as a result of gas production
due to electrolysis after flooding and/or if the cell(s) are defective), an over
pressure indicator in the form of a small plug located to the left of the LED display
will protrude approx 6mm (¼”) from the housing. The LED display will begin to
blink quickly (4 x per second) and as a safety precaution the power of the lamp
will automatically reduce to 25%. Turn off the lamp as soon as possible.
Warning!
Terminate the dive following standard safe diving practices and open up the
housing as soon as possible, (see page 22).
AFTER USE
Warning!
After the dive is completed, examine the lamp for signs of flooding or water
ingress as soon as possible. To carry out this check, hold the lamp upside
down with the glass plate pointing down and look at the glass plate from
the side for any signs of moisture/water ingress.
After each use, the lamp should be thoroughly rinsed in clean, fresh water. During
this rinsing, operate the switch in all directions to rinse under the switch.
When the lamp is operating, the temperature in the housing will increase and a
slight overpressure will form inside the housing. If the housing is opened
immediately after use, this slight overpressure will cause excessive friction on the
threads of the covers and/or the O-ring seals, the cover will be difficult to open.
For this reason we recommend that the lamp is left unopened (unless flooding
has occurred) for several minutes after it is switched off.
TRANSPORT
After use, the switch should be locked in the off position to prevent
inadvertent operation/use. To lock the switch in the off position, push the
switch towards the LED display, it should click into the transport lock
position. When correctly locked, the switch cannot be pushed to the left or
right.
Warning !
If the lamp is to be transported or stored without direct supervision, the
halogen bulb must be removed from the socket and stowed (see page 9).
This is a precaution in case a defective electronic module turns the lamp
on. This heat generated by the halogen bulb my cause damage to items
adjacent to the lamp/glass/bulb.
