CHARGER MOUNTING
Before drilling any holes, make sure there is room to insert and remove the H.I.D. LiteBox/
E-Flood LiteBox HL. Four (4) self-tapping 1 1/4" #8 screws are included with each rack
and should be sufficient for most mounting situations. Should your mounting situation
require heavier hardware, use #8 machine screws. The recommended mounting positions
are from horizontal to vertical (with the lamp end facing up).
VEHICULAR CHARGING
The direct wire charge rack is available for permanent installation.
(The standard charge rack can be used with standard DC cord # 22051, which has a
cigarette lighter plug for temporary installations.).
IMPORTANT:
Before making electrical connections in a vehicle, keep in mind that a
shorted auto battery can easily start a fire.
Make all connections with insulated lugs or other connectors intended for such use. Be
sure that your installation is fused
(A ten-amp fuse must be used on the positive lead)
.
The red or red striped lead is positive and the unmarked lead is negative. When
connecting the charger to a fuse block, the red positive power lead goes to the connector
that is dead when the vehicle's fuse is removed. The charger body is electrically isolated
from the charge circuit and allows positive ground installations.
Streamlight recommends connecting chargers to an unswitched source of power to
ensure the H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL is always fully charged. If the vehicle
will not be driven for several days, the H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL should be
removed from the charger to avoid vehicle battery drain.
Charging the H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL with a fully discharged battery draws
approximately 3 ampere hours until fully charged and up to ¼ ampere continuously in
maintenance (green) mode.
Note: The H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL draws approximately 7 ampere hours while
charging/operating in the external power mode.
MAINTENANCE
Should your H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL need service we recommend returning
it to the Streamlight Repair Department or a Streamlight Authorized Service Center.
Use
ONLY
official Streamlight replacement parts and carefully follow the specific
instructions packaged with the parts.
While the lead-acid battery supplied with the H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL
has been specifically selected to tolerate deep discharges, the battery should be
charged as soon as possible after use to ensure maximum service life. The battery
should never be "exercised" in an attempt to erase "memory" which does not occur
with lead-acid batteries.
