PELICAN™ 9460 RALS USER MANUAL

The Pelican™ 9460 Remote Area Lighting System (RALS) contains two LED light heads, two 

masts, a 12V sealed lead acid battery and a power supply, all contained within a Pelican™ 

Protector Case™. The masts extend to a height of nearly 7 feet and the light heads can 

articulate in multiple directions.

Mast Operation

1. 

Open case, remove lamp heads and masts.

2. 

Either stand case upright or lie flat (for greater stability).

3. 

Screw lamp heads onto masts then insert masts  

into mast holders. 

(A)

4. 

Connect lamp head plugs into the corresponding  

sockets located on the top of the case. 

(B)

5. 

To extend the mast, release the clamp on each  

section and raise. Lock each clamp when you  

have reached your chosen height.

6. 

To collapse the masts, reverse the procedure.

Light Operation

1. 

Press power button on keypad once to switch on. The 

default setting is the preset high mode (as indicated by 

the three ‘sun’ symbols at the top of the screen). Your 

remaining run time is displayed in the center of the screen 

and your battery level at the bottom of the screen. 

(C)

2. 

Press the bottom left button on the keypad to change 

between high, medium and low power. You will notice that 

your remaining run time alters between these settings.

3. 

Press the up or down buttons on the keypad at any time 

to enter the Intelligent Control “IC” mode. 

(D)

 The IC 

mode allows you to select any run time up to 24hrs. In 

this mode, your power level is displayed at the top of 

the screen instead of the preset ‘sun’ symbols. You can 

go back to the preset mode at any time by pressing the 

bottom left button on the keypad.

4. 

Press the power button on the keypad to switch off.

The 9460 RALS features the ability to run directly from the 

power supply without discharging the battery; when the 

power supply is connected to mains AC power the 9460 will 

automatically select a light level to allow continuous operation 

- automatic mode. (In this automatic mode, the battery level 

will remain constant). The light level will be approximately 

50% of maximum capacity. The display on the keypad will 

adopt the IC mode, showing the battery level and power 

level, but the timer display will be replaced by “--:--” and 

the hourglass icon will disappear. Manual adjustment of the 

brightness will still be possible, however if the brightness is 

increased, then automatic mode will be exited, a new runtime will be computed based upon the 

new operating conditions. The battery level and the display will revert to the normal IC mode, 

(or preset mode if the bottom left button has been used). If the brightness is decreased, the unit 

will remain in continuous mode (and the battery will charge up slowly).
If the power supply is removed, the unit will return to normal operation and the run-time display 

will show the remaining time for the particular setting prior to removal of the power supply.

Flash Mode

1. 

Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds until flashing begins, then select the required 

power level.

2. 

To switch flashing mode off, press the power button again.

Battery Level

The battery level is indicated at the bottom of the screen. When the unit is turned off, the battery 

level is displayed in a dimmed mode once every 5 seconds.

Battery Charging

1. 

Remove the dust cap from the charging socket and plug in 

the mating plug from the power supply. 

(E)

2. 

Connect the power supply to the mains AC power supply.

3. 

The charge level will be indicated in the bottom of the 

screen display. Once a complete charge level is reached, 

the display will revert to a dim display. 

12v Power Supply Port 

The 12v power supply port is located on the side of the case 

(F)

. Remove the dust cap to expose the power socket. This can 

be used to provide power for compatible devices.

USB Dual Power Adapter

The 9460 RALS includes a dual USB power adapter that can 

be plugged into the 12v power supply port to power/charge 

other USB compatible devices. 

(G)

BATTERY SAFETY

BATTERY SAFETY – YOU MUST READ THESE WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE 

USING OR CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES!
WARNING: HANDLE AND STORE BATTERIES PROPERLY TO AVOID INJURY OR 

DAMAGE
BATTERIES CAN BE DANGEROUS!
IMPROPER HANDLING OF BATTERIES CAN LEAD TO LEAKING, FIRE OR EXPLOSION 

WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

Rechargeable Batteries

 

» Hazardous Location Safety Approvals for explosive environments are only valid for the 

Pelican battery pack that is supplied with the equipment.

 

» For replacement battery packs, only use the approved Pelican battery pack for the model 

of the product that you are using. The use of other battery packs will reduce performance, 

expose the user or others to serious injury, and will invalidate the safety approval.

 

» Equipment should only be charged in a non-hazardous location.

 

» Equipment should only be charged using the Pelican charger base that is supplied.

 

» Batteries should be charged and operated between the temperatures shown in this table: 

 

» DO NOT charge rechargeable alkaline batteries while they are still in the equipment. 

Charging the alkaline batteries while they are still in the equipment can cause internal gas 

or heat generation resulting in venting, explosion or possibly fire which could cause serious 

injury or property damage.

 

» Deep discharge* of the rechargeable batteries may cause batteries to vent potentially 

dangerous gasses and electrolytes.

 

» It is strongly recommended to condition* batteries every three months. During storage, 

the capacity of the battery decreases due to self-discharging. Leaving the product unused 

for long periods of time will decrease the battery life. Withdrawal of the charger from the 

product prior to a ‘READY’ indication will result in an inadequate charge.

 

» If products are stored that contain regchargeable products, it is advisable to do so in a 

cool, dry place. If the average temperature exceeds 25°C (77°F) (below 30°C or 86°F), the 

frequency of supplementary charging should increase.

 

» It is advisable to always condition a battery that has been stored before use.

*  Deep Discharge: The battery has been allowed to discharge most of its capacity to a point beyond which 

irreparable damage has occurred. See battery specifications for the specific levels.

*  Condition a Battery: Charge your battery to the fullest capacity and then disconnect from charger. Let the 

light run until it completely drains the battery and turns itself off. Place the flashlight back onto its charger and 

completely recharge the battery before using it. This conditioning or “cycling” of the battery will help it retain a 

fuller charge for a longer period of time.

Warning

 

» If the charger fails to indicate a full charge after repeated charging attempts, or the battery 

exhibits a marked reduction in performance, a battery replacement is required.

 

» DO NOT use chargers designed for a different battery technology or equipment, or model. 

Doing so may damage the product and expose the user to serious injury or property 

damage.

 

» Ni-MH Rechargeable Battery Packs: DO NOT use Ni-MH rechargeable battery packs for 

longer than three years or 500 charge/discharge cycles, whichever comes first. Using Ni-

MH rechargeable battery packs for longer than three years or 500 charge/discharge cycles 

will reduce the performance of the battery and expose the user to serious injury or property 

damage.

 

» Li-Ion and LiFePO4 Rechargeable Battery Packs: DO NOT use Li-Ion and LiFePO4 

rechargeable battery packs for longer than five years. Using for a period longer than five 

years will reduce the performance of the battery and expose the user to serious injury or 

property damage.

 

» Lead Acid Battery: DO NOT use lead acid batteries for longer than five years or 400 

charge/discharge cycles at 100% DOD ( Depth Of Discharge) * , whichever comes first. 

Using lead acid batteries for longer than five years or 400 charge/discharge cycles at 100% 

DOD will reduce the performance of the battery and expose the user to serious injury or 

property damage.

*  DOD (Depth Of Discharge) *: is the fraction or percentage of the capacity which has been removed from the 

fully charged battery. Depth of Discharge is defined as the total amount of energy that is discharged from a 

battery, divided by the battery’s nominal capacity. Depth of discharge is normally expressed as a percentage.

Battery Recycling

ALWAYS dispose of batteries properly at an approved battery recycling center. Failure to do so 

may be a crime and can lead to the release of harmful toxic materials. Pelican has partnered

PELICAN 1 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY 

Pelican Products, Inc. (“Pelican”) guarantees its Remote Area Lighting Systems (RALS) against defects 

in materials and workmanship under normal use, service, and maintenance for one year from the date of 

purchase. This warranty applies only to the original purchaser and is not transferable.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (A) THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS 

OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY 

AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE; (B) ALL OTHER IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND ANY 

LIABILITY NOT BASED UPON CONTRACT ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED AND EXCLUDED; AND (C) IN NO 

EVENT SHALL PELICAN BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL 

DAMAGES, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER A CLAIM FOR SUCH DAMAGES IS 

BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE, nor shall Pelican’s liability to the 

purchaser for damages exceed the purchase price of the product in respect of which damages are claimed.
With valid dated proof of purchase, Pelican will either repair or replace any defective product, at our sole option. 

Certain products are available for a limited time only.  If a claim is made involving one of these products, Pelican 

reserves the right to replace a broken or defective product with a standard Pelican product of comparable 

size and quality if no comparable limited edition product is available at the time of a claim. TO THE EXTENT 

PERMITTED BY LAW, THIS SHALL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF THE PURCHASER. Any 

repaired or replacement product is covered only for the unexpired portion of the warranty on the original product 

purchased.
To make a warranty claim, the purchaser must complete the warranty claim form at https://www.pelican.com/

us/en/support/warranty/. Any warranty claims shall be made by the purchaser as soon as practicable and in no 

event more than one year from the date of purchase. The purchaser must provide valid dated proof of purchase 

and obtain a return authorization number from Pelican Customer Service prior to returning any product, and 

is responsible for paying for all warranty freight costs. If Pelican determines that any returned product is not 

defective, within the terms of this warranty, the purchaser shall pay Pelican all costs of handling, return freight 

and repairs at Pelican’s prevailing rates.
All warranty claims of any nature are barred if the product has been altered or in any way physically changed, or 

subjected to abuse, misuse, negligence or accident.
Some states and countries do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or 

limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. 

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights which vary from state to state and 

country to country.
In Australia: The benefits provided to you under this warranty are in addition to your rights and remedies as a 

consumer under the Australian Consumer Law as contained in the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) 

(“the Act”). Nothing in this warranty limits the rights or obligations of a party under the Act in relation to the 

supply to consumers of goods which cannot be limited, modified or excluded. If applicable, our goods come 

with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Act. Consumers are entitled to a replacement or refund for 

a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. Consumers are also 

entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does 

not amount to a major failure. If you are not a consumer under the Act, then your rights may be limited. To make 

a warranty claim, the purchaser may contact Pelican Products Australia, Suite 2.33, West Wing, Platinum Bldg., 

Erina NSW 2250, Tel: +612 4367 7022, or email: [email protected]. Any claims should be made as 

soon as practicable. To expedite claims, the purchaser should obtain a return authorization number from Pelican 

Customer Service prior to returning any product.  The purchaser is responsible for paying for all freight costs. 

If Pelican determines that any returned product is not defective, within the terms of this warranty or the Act, the 

purchaser may pay Pelican all costs of handling, return freight and repairs at Pelican’s prevailing rates. In the 

event that Pelican determines that any returned product is defective, within the terms of this warranty or the 

Act, Pelican shall pay the purchaser all reasonable costs of the purchaser in making a claim under this warranty.

de uso, servicio y mantenimiento durante un año a partir de la fecha de compra. Esta garantía se aplica 

únicamente al comprador original y no es transferible.
EN LA MEDIDA EN QUE LO PERMITE LA LEY: (A) ESTA GARANTÍA REEMPLAZA TODAS LAS 

GARANTÍAS, EXPRESAS O IMPLÍCITAS, INCLUIDAS, ENTRE OTRAS, LAS GARANTÍAS IMPLÍCITAS 

DE COMERCIABILIDAD E IDONEIDAD PARA UN FIN DETERMINADO; (B) POR EL PRESENTE 

DOCUMENTO, SE RECHAZAN Y EXCLUYEN TODAS LAS DEMÁS GARANTÍAS IMPLÍCITAS Y CUALQUIER 

RESPONSABILIDAD AJENA AL CONTRATO, Y (C) EN NINGÚN CASO PELICAN SE HARÁ RESPONSABLE 

DE DAÑOS INDIRECTOS, PUNITIVOS, INCIDENTALES O CONSECUENTES, O DAÑOS PECUNIARIOS, 

INDEPENDIENTEMENTE DE SI LA RECLAMACIÓN POR DICHOS DAÑOS ESTÁ BASADA EN GARANTÍA, 

CONTRATO, NEGLIGENCIA; ni la responsabilidad de Pelican ante el comprador por los daños superará el 

precio de compra del producto respecto al cual se reclaman los daños.
Con un comprobante de compra válido y con fecha, Pelican reparará o cambiará cualquier producto dañado, 

a su absoluto criterio. Algunos productos están disponibles solo por tiempo limitado.  Si se presenta una 

reclamación relacionada con uno de estos productos, Pelican se reserva el derecho de cambiar un producto 

dañado o defectuoso por un producto de Pelican convencional de tamaño y calidad similares si no hay un 

producto de edición limitada similar disponible en el momento de la reclamación. EN LA MEDIDA EN QUE LO 

PERMITA LA LEY, EL PRESENTE SERÁ EL ÚNICO Y EXCLUSIVO RECURSO DEL COMPRADOR. Cualquier 

producto que haya sido reparado o cambiado tendrá cobertura solo durante el tiempo restante de la garantía 

del producto original adquirido.
Para realizar una reclamación de garantía, el comprador debe completar el formulario de reclamación de

o accidente.
En algunos estados y países no se permite establecer limitaciones a la duración de las garantías implícitas 

ni la exclusión o limitación de los daños incidentales o consecuentes, por lo que es posible que la limitación 

o exclusión anterior no se aplique en su caso. Con esta garantía se le otorgan derechos legales específicos, 

además de otros derechos que pueden variar de un estado a otro y de un país a otro.

n’est pas transférable.
DANS LA MESURE PERMISE PAR LA LOI : (A) LA PRÉSENTE GARANTIE REMPLACE TOUTES LES 

GARANTIES, EXPRESSES OU IMPLICITES, Y COMPRIS, MAIS SANS S’Y LIMITER, LES GARANTIES

NE POURRA ÊTRE TENUE RESPONSABLE DE TOUT DOMMAGE INDIRECT, PUNITIF, ACCESSOIRE 

OU CONSÉCUTIF, OU ENCORE DE DOMMAGES PARTICULIERS, INDÉPENDAMMENT DU FAIT QUE LA 

RÉCLAMATION RELATIVE À DE TELS DOMMAGES SOIT FONDÉE SUR LA GARANTIE, LE CONTRAT, 

LA NÉGLIGENCE OU D’AUTRES MOTIFS; la responsabilité de Pelican vis-à-vis de l’acheteur pour des 

dommages ne peut s’avérer supérieure au prix d’achat du produit pour lequel des dommages sont réclamés.
Sur présentation d’une preuve d’achat datée valide, Pelican s’engage à réparer ou à remplacer tout produit 

défectueux, à sa seule discrétion. Certains produits ne sont offerts que pour une durée limitée.  Si une 

réclamation concerne un tel produit, Pelican se réserve le droit de remplacer le produit brisé ou défectueux par 

un produit Pelican standard de taille et de qualité comparable si aucun produit comparable en édition limitée 

n’est disponible au moment de la demande. DANS LA MESURE PERMISE PAR LA LOI, IL S’AGIT DU SEUL 

ET UNIQUE RECOURS POUR L’ACHETEUR. Tout produit réparé ou produit de remplacement n’est couvert

tous les frais de manutention, de retour et de réparation, selon la grille de tarifs en vigueur appliquée par 

Pelican.
Toute réclamation en vertu de la garantie, de quelque nature que ce soit, sera rejetée si le produit a été 

retouché ou modifié physiquement de quelque manière que ce soit, ou encore s’il a fait l’objet d’un usage 

abusif, d’une mauvaise utilisation, d’une négligence ou d’un accident.
Certains États et certains pays n’autorisent pas de limitations quant à la durée d’une garantie implicite ou 

encore l’exclusion ou la limitation des dommages accessoires ou consécutifs; ainsi, il est possible que la 

limitation ou l’exclusion ci-dessus ne s’applique pas à vous. Cette garantie vous confère des droits légaux 

spécifiques; il est possible que vous ayez d’autres droits, qui varient d’un État à l’autre et d’un pays à l’autre.
