Novatac EDC-120P User Manual - 7. Installing A New Battery.
7. Installing a new Battery.
The light comes with a fresh battery installed from the factory. To
replace the battery, unscrew the battery compartment at the head or
the button cap. Insert a new battery into the battery compartment so
the positive terminal is toward the front of the light. Be sure both the
head and button cap are screwed back on snugly.
If the battery is inserted backwards into the battery compartment,
the light will not turn on. The light and battery are protected against
reverse polarity so the battery can simply be re-installed in the
correct orientation.
When changing battery configurations a Battery-Detect-Reset
is required. A rechargeable battery must be fully charged before
installation. The light will protect rechargeable batteries from over-
discharge.
8. High Temperature Indication
(single brightness level decreases).
The light can produce an excess amount of heat on its higher
brightness levels. If the light is held with a bare hand during
operation, the hand will conduct away any excess heat and prevent
the light from becoming too hot for normal operation. If the light is
placed on a table or held with a gloved hand, the excess heat is not
as easily conducted away.
A thermal sensor will detect increasing temperature before the light
becomes dangerously hot. It will reduce the output one brightness
level at a time until it stabilizes at a safe level. The light will remember
the safe brightness level and will not allow higher brightness as
long as it remains on. Turning the light off and back on will reset the
restricted brightness level and allow all brightness levels if the light
is cool enough.
The light’s temperature is regulated so it can always be picked up
safely and to prevent damage to the LED.
9. Cleaning and Maintenance.
Periodically clean the threads and O-rings with a clean, lint-free cloth,
and apply a thin coat of non-conductive silicon or petroleum grease
to the threads and O-rings. If the O-rings become worn or damaged,
they should be replaced. The exposed electrical contacts can be
cleaned using a cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol.
