Tracer TP-8690UV (Optimax 365) M-L AM08008-8 - Manual

English
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
Read all instructions.
•
Do not operate the flashlight if it has been damaged.
• The OPTIMAX 365 must be fully charged before first use.
• CAUTION: Use only the battery charger packed with the flashlight.
Do not attempt to use the charger to recharge any other product.
• Use only the 125608 battery stick (see Replacement Parts).
• NiMH and Ni-Cd batteries are close cousins. The chemistry is similar. The difference is NiMH
batteries are nontoxic and there is no memory loss from short cycling.
• The OPTIMAX 365 is not approved for use in hazardous atmospheres. Do not attempt
to use it in areas requiring explosion-proof lighting.
• Never use this equipment in any manner not specified in these instructions because
your protection may be impaired.
CHARGING AND USE
The OPTIMAX 365 is available with different chargers. See Replacement Parts.
• Fully charge your OPTIMAX 365 before first use.
• Insert the smart charger (AC and DC supplied) into the tailcap of the OPTIMAX 365 and
attach the plug to the corresponding power source. A full charge will take approximately four
hours. The flashlight can operate for approximately one and one-half hours after a full charge.
• The OPTIMAX 365 is equipped with a battery strength indicator light. When the battery
has sufficient strength to power the lamp at its specified performance, the indicator is
GREEN. When the charge goes below a predetermined point the indicator turns RED,
indicating that the batteries must be charged. The lamp may continue to function, but using it
when the indicator is RED will shorten the life of the batteries.
• The smart charger indicator light will show RED while charging and GREEN when
the charge is complete and the lamp is ready for use.
• Press the switch to light and use the OPTIMAX 365.
CARE AND USE OF NICKEL-METAL HYDRIDE (NiMH) BATTERIES
• Do not charge the battery stick when the temperature is below 32°F (0°C) or above 105°F
(40°C). The life of the battery stick is affected by charging in temperature extremes.
• If the batteries are not used for approximately 30 to 60 days they will discharge completely.
This is normal. They must then be recharged before use.
• Do not subject these batteries to repeated deep discharges that run the batteries down
completely on a regular basis.
• Regular deep discharging is unnecessary and will greatly shorten flashlight and battery life.
• NiMH batteries are clearly the best choice as there is no voltage sag until the last 10%
of charge. This means the lamp will operate for better than 90% of the battery's rated
capacity. No other battery chemistry will deliver like this under heavy use. With no toxic
lead or mercury, and a life expectancy of 400 cycles or more provided that the battery is
not overcharged, NiMH batteries are better for the environment.
WARNING: Be sure to use genuine OPTIMAX 365 replacement parts. Using another
manufacturer's replacement parts could affect product performance and will void the warranty.
LEAK DETECTION
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Add fluorescent dye to the system. For best results, use OEM-approved, super-bright
Tracerline ® Fluoro-Lite ® and Dye-Lite ® dyes. See instructions included with dyes.
3. Start the engine and run the system for 5 to 10 minutes to circulate the dye.
4. Turn off the engine. Put on the glasses supplied. Scan the system with the lamp.
Leaks will show with a bright fluorescent glow. Use the lamp in low-light conditions for
best performance.
5. Do not look directly into the light. Wearing the UV-aborbing glasses supplied with the
lamp will make leaks clearly visible.
6. After the leaks are repaired, clean the remaining dye from the leak sites with Tracerline ®
GLO-AWAY™ or a shop solvent.
