Use of the Wolf Rechargeable Torch
A damaged Wolf Rechargeable torch should be repaired in accordance with these
instructions, before putting back into service.
GB
Repairs only to be carried
out by competent persons
PRECAUTIONS: See Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 & 16
Before use. Charge for 3 hours minimum.
Ensure torch lens ring and end cap are fully tight at all times. (Fig. 3)
Duration in High Power mode
≈
3.5 hours
Duration in Low Power mode
≈
6.5 hours
Deep Discharge Protection: Circuitry will automatically switch the torch off once
the battery reaches a pre-determined low voltage.
The torch must be re-charged before further use.
Emergency Lighting Mode: The emergency lighting function switches the torch
on when a power failure to the charger occurs.
The torch must be placed in the charger switched ‘ON’.
Lamp Replacement: (Fig. 10).
Fuse Replacement: (Figs. 6 & 7).
Cleaning: Use a mild soap and water and soft brush only.
Do not immerse.
Storage: Do not store torch or battery below -20
o
C.
If torch fails to light or;
If indication on charge shows top and bottom indicators only:
A. Ensure torch lens ring and end cap are fully tight at all times (Fig. 3)
B. Place on charge check for indication, remove and switch on.
C. Clean charge rivets, check end cap is fully tightened.
D. Remove cassette (Fig. 6), inspect contacts, test continuity of the fuses,
replace as required (competent personnel only; Fig. 7).
E. Re fit cassette, repeat (A) and switch on.
The R-271 Battery utilises a two cell Lithium Ion system with a life of up to
500 full charge/discharge cycles (to 70% original capacity), and incorporates an
integral encapsulated battery protection circuit.
Replace the
R-271 Battery when the discharge duration is significantly shorter
than the durations shown above.
Recharge every six months in storage.
Battery Information: (Fig. 5), Extraction: (Fig. 6), Connections (Fig. 8).
The TP-282 Primary Cell Cassette. An alternative primary cell cartridge is also
certified safe for use in the torch.
Use only approved primary cells TP-295 for a
T4 temperature class (Fig. 9)
Wolf Chargers: RC-200 (12-24V) and RC-212: (12V) A red LED indicator shows
power to the charger. Charging is fully managed to eliminate battery memory.
Charge is removed once the battery is fully charged, battery voltage is then
monitored; a top-up charge is applied as necessary (typically applying a trickle
charge every 7 days).
Charge Indication: (Fig. 15). Charger Connection Options: (Fig. 18)
– Do not charge in Hazardous Area.
– Charger contacts are low voltage output and short circuit protected.
– Charger operating ambient: +10
o
C to +25
o
C.
– Charger ingress protection IP20, protect from dirt and moisture.
– Do not cover ventilation slots.
Warning RC-452: risk of short circuit if polarity incorrect, (See Fig. 18)
Peak Current (during 3hrs charge period)
=1.5A
Peak Current (standby – fully charged)
=0.08A
Peak Current (no torch in charger)

Output Voltage does not exceed 14V: (Uo=14V)
Warning:
USE ONLY WOLF CHARGERS WITH THESE PRODUCTS (AS SHOWN IN FIG. 18)
USE ONLY WOLF GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS.
The Wolf Safety Lamp Co. Ltd has a policy of continuous product improvement.
