JW Speaker 60 LED Series User manual

Thank you for purchasing the all new Series 60 LED
OPERATION - QUICK START
Although the Series 60 is packed full of features it is still simple to use. When
the unit is packed down in torch/storage mode the (on/off) switch is recessed
to prevent accidental switch on, yet is still accessible to the user when
needed.
Press once to switch on and again for off. Whenever the unit is first switched
on it will default to the 100% brightness setting regardless of how the unit
was last used. At switch on you will hear a bleep from the unit to signal all is
well, the battery status LED near to the on/off switch will illuminate to show
the units state of charge.
Always remember to put your Series 60 LED on charge after use to prolong the life of the
high capacity rechargeable battery.
CHARGING YOUR SERIES 60 LED
Whichever battery charger you have selected to recharge your Series 60 LED, it was de-
signed to be left connected indefinitely to the battery unit so your lighting product is always
topped up and ready for use. Your Series 60 LED can be charged and run at the same
time, this may be useful when using the light as an emergency back up light for if or when
the mains power fails.
It is good practice to always put your Series 60 LED light back on charge even when
used for a short period of time, leaving the unit discharged will have an adverse effect on
the longevity of the battery life. All the chargers supplied show a combination of lights to
indicate each point of the charging process. For more details on charging please see the
separate instructions included with the charger.
NOTE always charge your Series 60 LED in a dry well ventilated environment away from
minors.
Plug charger into spare
socket on rear of unit

USING YOUR SERIES 60 LED
The Series 60 LED can be set up in two basic modes. Torch mode allows the user to carry
the unit with the extension arm and head folded down and locked in position.
Worklight mode allows the user to site the unit in a suitable position on the ground or on a
platform where the extension arm can be swung up and locked into position. The height
of the extension arm can then be adjusted by lifting up the locking lever on the extension
arm clamp and moving the light head up or down to the desired position. The locking
lever can then be clicked back in to place to hold the position. The light head can then
be turned in either direction and the angle can be adjusted using the clamping handle.
The blue button on the clamping handle allows the user to park the handle at a particular
point, this may be useful to increase or decrease the frictional force applied to the light
head when held in position.
Twin sockets - either socket can be used to charge and / or run the Series 60 LED light. In
addition two light heads can be run simultaneously, or additional 12V equipment such as a
phone charger can be powered. Phone us for further details.
To use your Series 60 LED make sure the plug from the light head is inserted into any one
of the two sockets on the battery unit, the red locking ring on the plug should then be
turned clockwise to prevent the plug from being accidentally pulled out.
Your Series 60 LED is designed to work in a harsh environment from low to high tempera-
tures. While high temperatures can have an adverse effect on LEDs this unit has been
designed to counteract this if ever the situation arose. A temperature sensor monitors the
LED panel and adjusts the power output accordingly.

OPERATION - ADVANCED FEATURES
To use the unit simply press the on button and the light will come on to 100% power/
brightness and is ready for use, the additional buttons listed below allow other features
to be accessed.
(Button 1) = ON/OFF
(Button 2) = MODE - Flashing, SOS, Alternate flashing (between inner and
outer LED arrays).
(Button 3) = BRIGHTNESS - 100%, 125%, 8%, 25%, 50%, 75%.
(Button 4) = SELECT - Inner, outer, both inner and outer LED arrays.
(Button 1) – Used for switching the unit either ON or Off. Note that after switching off
allow a few seconds before switching back on to allow the system to shut down then
restart as it checks its battery status.
Button 2/3/4 – Used to put the light into different profiles as listed above.
Switch on the unit (button 1), select a mode (button 2), then select brightness
(button 3), and next select a channel (button 4) as required.
In addition you can mix and match modes between the two channels, for example you
can switch ON (button 1), select a brightness (button 3), select a channel (inner
for example, button 4) then select a mode (button 2, SOS second press). Next select
a channel (button 4, outer for example), then select a mode (button 2, flashing or
static) then select the channel (button 4) to bring both channels on to create different
light options.
Pressing and holding the (brightness) button allows dimming up and down regardless
of what brightness mode the unit has been set at.

Light management
The unit features a retractable vari-focus system to allow a tightly focused spot beam
or a diffused flood of light so any working environment can be catered for. Use the two
control knobs either side of the light head to move the diffuser blind up and down in front
of the LEDs, as the blind gradually passes over the LEDs you’ll notice the projected light
pattern change.
SOS Mode
The unit may be set to flash the LED’s in the SOS sequence if the need ever arises. To
do this, switch on, select the power level (brightness) you wish to use (8%,25%,
50%, 75%,100% or 125%). Next press the MODE button twice, pressing the SELECT
button allows the inner outer or both channels of LEDs to be run.
Flashing Mode
The unit may be set to constantly flash the LEDs to provide a warning signal to oth-
ers. To select this option first switch on, select a power level you wish to use (8%,25%,
50%, 75%, 100% or 125%) then press the MODE switch once, pressing the SELECT
button allows the inner, outer or both channels of LED’s to be run.
Battery Status Indication
A low battery warning with cut-off function is included with your Series 60 LED to pre-
vent deep discharging the high performance cyclic SLA battery. Deep discharging can
lead to reduced battery performance and life.
The user is signalled to help pre-warn of the amount of energy left in the battery able to
run the LED light in 3 ways: 3 colour LED, audible bleeper and flashing of the LEDs on
the main panel. As the fully charged battery discharges the indicator LED (located next
to the power on/off switch) will show green.
As the battery discharges further this indicator LED will change from green through to
amber, at this point the unit will give an audible bleep and blink the main LEDs once to
alert the user that a stage has been reached in the discharge process.

The next change is when the LED indicator changes from amber to red; here again
the user will hear an audible bleep and see a blink of the main LEDs to signal another
change nearer to the end of battery duration.
Finally the indicator LED will change from constant red to flash-
ing red where upon the lamp brightness will default from any
of the power settings down to 25%, the beeper will then sound
every 30 seconds and at the same time the main LEDs will blink
once. This process will continue until the battery voltage falls to
a point where the unit will automatically switch off. This process
will give users adequate time to retreat to an area of safety
without being left in the dark.
The light cannot be switched back on until the battery has been
recharged to prevent deep discharge and possible irreversible dam-
age to the battery.
Performance
The Series 60 uses 30 high power 3 watt LED’s to produce a crisp
white light ideal in a working environment. To efficiently harness and
project the light this unit has a bespoke lens array with the addition
of an infinitely variable focusing system. In addition, conscious of
the lack of an infinite power source, we have developed a market
leading LED driver system to ensure very little energy is wasted with
the majority being converted to light to give a better, brighter light
for longer.
Stability
The unit features a pair of fold-out stability enhanc-
ing legs that allow the unit to become an effective
tripod system without the need to carry additional
equipment.
Height
Additional height can be achieved with the optional
four quicklok extension poles. This extends the
height of the light head from 820mm to 1800mm.
These uniquely designed interlocking poles allow a
very simple but unjamable system that
can be quickly deployed yet store in a
bespoke retainer on the unit when not
needed.
Remote control system
The optional remote control system allows
complete control of brightness, modes and
battery status allowing the unit to be placed
out of reach yet with full control at your

fingertips. In addition any number of extra units can be automatically switched on and
controlled by the one remote through the mesh networking technology employed. One
button press can switch on over a hundred units instantly, each unit allows the signal to
be rebroadcast so infinite distances and areas can be covered.
Emergency System
Using the same technology as that employed in the remote control system the optional
emergency system can be configured to detect a failure in a building or site voltage
supply (permanent mains or generator) and automatically signal any number of units to
switch on and provide a wireless emergency lighting system adding new levels of safety
and convenience to the work environment.
On board charging
An optional built in charging system can be added to allow full automatic charging from
any 12 or 24 volt vehicle. A single multi-colour LED gives full indication of the charge pro-
cess. In addition the charger benefits from a vehicle battery protect mode to prevent over
discharge of the vehicles primary battery. The in-built charger has a temperature moni-
tor to accurately measure and control the charge to the high performance cyclic battery.
This means that whether the unit is charged in a hot or cold environment the battery is
always charged to 100% to stop the reduced effects on performance associated with less
advanced charging systems.
Accidental Overload Protection
The Series 60 LED has an in-built M.C.B circuit breaker which allows you to easily reset
the unit, an advantage over in-built fuses which are not field serviceable. This prevents
accidental overload during charging or if indirect load is placed on either of the two outlet
sockets. If the M.C.B is tripped the button on the rear of the unit will pop out from its
housing. Check the input or output levels are correct and simply press the button home
to reset the Series 60 LED.
M.C.B Circuit Breaker
Construction
The Series 60 LED has been constructed using high quality materials to produce a tough,
long lasting product for the professional user. High impact engineering polymers com-
bined with stainless steel fittings ensure the Series 60 LED is impervious to everyday
knocks and bangs. The Series 60 LED employs an internal steel chassis to retain the bat-
tery. This prevents any internal damage and ensures maximum reliability throughout the
Series 60 LED’s life.

RUN TIMES
There are six brightness settings: 8%, 25%, 50%, 75%,100% and 125%. These mainly
serve to allow extended battery duration where needed, see below for the approximate run
times:
*The 125% setting gives a 10-minute boost of light and will then drop back to 100% auto-
matically.
Specific run times can be programmed in at manufacture, please contact J W Speaker
Corporation for more information.
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
Additional height
The overall lamp head height can be lifted from 820mm – 1800mm by using four of the
quicklok extension poles, which store conveniently in the base of the Series 60 LED. Sim-
ply slot and twist the poles together to create a quick extension pole system. With the in
built stability legs this creates a unique compact self-contained tripod system.
BRIGHTNESS DURATION
8% (Find me mode) Approx 5 days
25% Approx 33 hours
50% Approx 16 hours
75% Approx 11 hours
100% (Default mode on switch-on) Approx 8 hours
125% (Boost Mode) *See note below
On board charging (Product Code 60-30/VP)
The optional in built charging system (VEHICLE) gives the user the option of charging from
a 12 or 24 volt DC vehicle system without the need for additional
equipment in the vehicle.
The unit has a bi-coloured LED to show the state of charging. At
initial connection to the 12-24 volt DC supply the charge indica-
tion LED will flash twice green then twice red in a self test process
to show all is ok. A constant red shows bulk charging where the
majority of charge is fed into the battery, when the red LED starts to
flash this shows the battery is 80% charged, when the LED turns to
green the battery is then fully charged and ready for use. The charger only needs a simple
cable (included) from the vehicle to any one of the two multifunction sockets on the rear of
the Series 60 LED.
The charger also employs a ‘vehicle battery protect system’ which prevents over discharge
of

the main supplying vehicle’s battery. It detects when the vehicle alternator has started
to charge the primary battery then starts to charge the Series 60 LED. Once the alterna-
tor stops charging the vehicle battery the Series 60
LED charger will continue until it sees the voltage
of the primary supplying battery fall to a point that
may cause the vehicle not to start and then termi-
nates charge to the Series 60 LED to prevent further
discharge. The on board vehicle charging system can
also be configured to ignore the ‘vehicle battery protect system’, please confirm this at
point of ordering. This may be useful when a permanent 12-24 volt DC supply is avail-
able or where the supplying batteries have more than enough capacity to cope with a full
recharge of the Series 60 LED. In addition the in built charger can measure the battery’s
ambient temperature and adjust the charging profile to suit, this unique process makes
sure the battery is charged to full capacity even when used in temperatures outside of
the ‘normal’ 25ºC for 100% capacity.
Remote Control (Product codes 60-30ADR + 60-30HND)
The optional remote control system allows operation of all the functions on
the Series 60 LED from a distance of up to 100 metres. In addition as each
command is given the LED on the remote will show the status of the Series 60
LED battery, the battery status can also be seen without changing a function
by pressing the top two buttons on the remote simultaneously.
As a button is pressed you will hear a bleep from the remote, then a second one as con-
firmation that the action has been received and processed.
The remote control system uses mesh networking technology to control multiple Series
60 LED units, as each unit receives a command it re-broadcasts it to other units thus
extending the effective range and eliminating failed attempts. See page 10 for further
information on the remote.
Emergency System
Using the same technology as the remote control this simple “plug in
the wall” (or any 110V to 240V AC generator power source) will monitor
the power then automatically broadcast a signal to all Series 60 LED’s to
switch them on in a mains failure situation. This simple but effective solu-
tion makes a very versatile, wireless portable emergency lighting system.
STORAGE
If the Series 60 is to be left unused for an extended period of time or the unit is to be put
into storage we advise you fully recharge the battery and disconnect the light head plug
from the battery unit to prevent any accidental switch on. The unit can then be stored up
to 6 months without having to recharge it.
