2. If the lamp fails to start the charge cycle, briefly connect a 9 volt battery to the
charge points with the positive of the battery to the marked positive connection on
the lamp. The caplamp should flash once when the battery is connected. Then connect
the battery to the charger to begin a full charge cycle.
(reverse connecting the 9 volt battery will not damage the lamp).
NOTE: THE BATTERY IS TRANSPORTED IN A PARTIALLY CHARGED
CONDITION – EVERY LAMP MUST BE FULLY CHARGED BEFORE FIRST USE.
Battery charging
1.
Every lamp should be charged for 12-24 hours before first use.
2.
After a working shift, the battery should be placed on the charger, following the
instructions included with the charger, and left to charge. The charger
automatically switches off when the battery is completely charged.
Storage of lamp
The lamp can be stored for up to 6 months from receipt. All lamps should be given a
24-hour boost charge at 6-monthly intervals until use, where they should again be
fully charged before being placed into regular service.
Recommended storage temperature: 0

WARNING:
The lamp should only be charged on EnerSys approved chargers.
For charger information and how to convert existing chargers software and charging
contacts to charge-cradle, please consult the Caplamp Charger Manual.
OPERATION
The lamp is turned on and operated by pressing the button on the side of the lamp.
While the exact operation will vary depending on application, the standard lighting
sequence operation will follow this pattern;
1. Lamp turns on
2. Normal working light
3. Boost Light
4. Lamp turns off.
As the battery voltage declines, the intelligent software will reduce the power to the
LED Lights in order to increase operating time. If light output falls, the lamp should be
placed on charge as soon as possible.
Recharging the DLi Caplamp
There is a multi-stage charging system for DLi caplamp batteries. Each lamp position
has its own microprocessor controlled PCB with LED indicators to show mode of
charge and battery charge condition. A 5.0v USB system is also available. Both are
described in the following section.
