16.0 Overpressure safety valve
A battery pack malfunction can generate gas inside the battery
compartment. The operational safety is guaranteed by the presence of
a stainless steel over-pressure relief valve in the cap of the battery
compartment.
Any overpressure in the battery compartment is automatically reduced
by means of this special safety valve.
If you notice bubbles coming out trough the valve during use, means
that may be gas presence.
In this case, the strobe must be immediately switched off and no
longer used.
Once on the surface, handle the unit carefully without turning the
battery compartment cap towards people to avoid possible injuries.
Inside the battery compartment, after the automatic release, there
may be a residue of gas that must be vented manually as described
below to prevent he risk of violent cap ejection when you open it.
Using a small screwdrive or other pointed tool, lift the valve edge as
showed in the picture on the next page. The small residual
overpressure will be eliminated allowing safe opening of battery
compartment cap.
It is however possible to remove the battery compartmente cap even
without manual gas venting. In this case we recommend a firm grip on
the cap selector to counterbalance any pressure at the time of opening.
