ACCU 12V 18Ah is equipped with two RCA ports:
• DIRECT - used for charging, connecting light-for-me light heads with RCA connection and additional RCA-E/O cord (to connect
compatible light head with E/O cord)
• SWITCH - used for connecting RCA-E/O cord and heating system. Switch placed in ON position does not draw any current
when there is nothing plugged into this port. Disconnecting the E/O cord underwater (regardless of which port it is connected
to) may cause irreversible damage to the E/O connector. Switch should be in OFF position when this port is not in use.
To switch on/off the RCA SWITCH port - move the red switch according to the ON / OFF marks. The switch should be in OFF
position when the SWITCH RCA port is not in use, between the dives and during the charging process.
Prior to connecting the heating system and/or light head to
an RCA port check the condition of orings sealing the RCA
port, if necessary grease them with pure vaseline (petroleum
jelly). Damaged, torn or cut orings require immediate
replacing.
Check also the cables / cords connected to RCA ports - both
from the heating system and underwater light heads - any
damages, tears or breaks require fixing / servicing - if
immersed in water they may cause flooding and irreversible
damage to the battery pack.
If only one RCA port is used, closed the other one with the
RCA cap provided. Open RCA port is not watertight and
when immersed in water will flood the ACCU and cause
irreversible damage to the battery pack.
Usage
After the dive rinse the equipment in lukewarm water, make sure the RCA ports are closed (with RCA cap or RCA-E/O cord or
underwater light head), then dry it and check its condition - any damages that may influence the proper work of the ACCU and
the devises connected to it must be fixed / serviced by an authorised service point before next dive.
The ACCU 12V 18Ah should be stored in a dry room with its battery pack charged. The ACCU should not be left for a longer time
with low charge level of its battery pack. In case of leaving the ACCU with its ports open, make sure they are not prone to
increased humidity or water entering inside the canister.
RCA-E/O cord should not be stored in a bend position, prone to any breaks or damages. Its E/O connection should be clean and
dry, if needed it can be slightly greased with pure vaseline (petroleum jelly).
RCA ports should be kept clean and slightly greased with vaseline (petroleum jelly). Sealing orings must be checked regularly
and kept clean and greased.
Storage
2/4
Switch placed on the bottom can be easily reached
and operated in different kit configurations and is
easy to switch on/off even in dry gloves with thick
inner insulatiotn.
Make sure the sealing orings placed in the
RCA ports are in good condition, if needed
grease them with petroleum jelly. Damaged
orings need replacing.
