External Battery Packs and Cords
The reliability of your light depends upon the quality of the battery system and the wiring connections used to connect the battery system to your light. Always choose a high quality battery and cord system, keep it properly maintained and make sure all connections are clean and sound.
Our lights and battery packs come with gate-style terminal blocks. These terminal blocks provide secure wire mounting, low contact resistance and hold up well in harsh environments. The terminals are marked to allow correct electrical polarity to be maintained.
Our cords are rugged industrial cable. The ends are stripped and soldered, ready to be inserted into the gate terminal blocks. Wires are color coded: red should be connected to the positive (+) terminal and black should be connected to the negative (-) terminal.
The Action Light 24-3V-NB model is configured without a battery pack so you can use your existing external battery pack or one of your own design. The light may be connected to any external battery pack that can supply the specified power. Therefore, you are free to choose between primary or rechargeable batteries. The wattage specified is for the High setting and will allow you to roughly calculate how long any particular battery pack will last. The power ratio between settings is roughly 5:1.
The minimum voltage listed will generate correct operation on all settings. As the voltage falls below the minimum voltage the amount of light generated on any particular setting will decrease gracefully. For most efficient operation, always select a lower setting when the setting you are using starts to dim. Selecting lower power settings will increase the total time remaining.
| CAUTION |
Whereas a sudden total failure is very unlikely, it is still possible. Therefore, we strongly recommend you always carry a second light with you. We also recommend you carry enough spare batteries to cover your stay plus a reasonable safety margin. It is not necessary to start each trip with new batteries in your lamp as long as you have spare batteries along.
|
| CAUTION |
Alkaline batteries lose voltage as they are used. As a result, the Low setting on the 24-3V-series light will not function after 50% of the battery capacity has been consumed. However, the Medium and High settings will continue to function correctly.
|
| CAUTION |
The Low setting will not function when the 24-3V-series light is used with nickel cadmium or nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries due to the normal low voltage. However, the Medium and High settings will continue to function correctly.
|
| CAUTION |
The 24-3V-series lights have no reverse battery protection circuitry and will be damaged if you connect the batteries incorrectly. Be sure to always maintain correct battery polarity.
|
| CAUTION |
The light will be damaged if connected to a voltage exceeding 3.6V.
