Pelican 9470 RALS - 24,000 Lumens Remote Area Lighting System Manual

Introduction

The Pelican™ 9470 Remote Area Lighting System (RALS) contains four LED light heads, four masts, two 12V sealed lead acid batteries and a power supply, all contained within a Pelican™ Protector Case™. The masts can 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, then stand case upright.
2. Screw lamp heads onto masts then insert masts into mast holders. (A)
   
3. Connect lamp head plugs into the corresponding sockets located on the top of the case. (B)
   
4. To extend the mast, release the clamp on each section and raise. Lock each clamp when you have reached your chosen height.
5. 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 is shown 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 24 hours. 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 9470 RALS features the ability to run directly from the power supply without discharging the battery; when the power supply is connected to the mains AC power the 9470 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 at 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, and a new run time 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 top 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 9470 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!

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 NiMH 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 with Call 2 Recycle in the US and Canada to dispose of recyclable batteries. Please call 1-800822-8837 to find a battery recycling center near you.
