GENERAL NOTES
Troubleshooting Note
A troubleshooting diagram is provided (page 3) to help enable a repair technician to isolate and
repair electrical problems which can arise. The diagram describes a condition and suggests the
underlying cause. Repair procedures are provided in the chapters indicated in the solution
blocks. The troubleshooting procedure does not attempt to isolate individual components.
Instead it suggests replacement of modules or assemblies such as the printed circuit board, the
battery, the switch, etc. Occasionally problems may arise which are not included in the
troubleshooting procedure. In these cases a thorough physical inspection may reveal a broken
wire, cracked or damaged circuit board, or some other mechanical damage which results in an
apparent electrical problem. If the Litebox can be turned “on” and “off “ and the problem is still
elusive the printed circuit board may be malfunctioning. The printed circuit board can be replaced
as a module (see Section IV). If the problem remains elusive the Litebox and all of its available
components (including the mounting rack and plug-in wall charger) should be returned to
Streamlight for factory service.
The Red and Green Charge Indicators
The Litebox is equipped with two LED’s which light to indicate the mode which the
charging circuit is in. The red LED indicates that the battery is being charged. The
green LED indicates that the charging cycle is complete and the battery is at
maximum capacity.
The LED’s can warn of malfunctions within the charging circuitry. The red LED
should turn “off” completely twenty-four (24) hours or less after the charge cycle is
initiated and the green LED should turn “on”. If the red LED remains lit for more than
24 hours the charging circuit must be tested and replaced or repaired as necessary
(see section VI).
Additional Information
Important Note
: When mounting or repairing the charge rack Do Not Use anaerobic thread
locking compounds (Loc-tite, etc). Chemical reactions caused by the curing of these compounds
destroys the molded plastic and will void the factory warranty.
Caution :
Adjustment of the controls on the printed circuit board within the Litebox should be
performed only within the guidelines established in this manual. Improper adjustment may result
in serious damage to the system and may cause physical injury. Damage caused by improper
settings may require extensive repair at the factory.
The plugs and sockets may be cleaned with contact cleaner (make sure it is plastic safe) to
minimize corrosion. Silicone grease may be used to improve contact and retard corrosion. Make
sure that the power is disconnected and lightly spread a small amount on each connector plug
pin.
