Safety Warnings
Warning: Read all safety warnings and instructions, and
save them for future reference. Failure to adhere to
these warnings can result in serious injury and damage
to equipment.
Floodlight Safety
The Max Planck 15000 is a powerful floodlight meant for use
underwater. Using the floodlight outside of the water for prolonged
periods will cause the floodlight to heat up significantly. Do not
keep the floodlight on for more than five minutes at a time outside
of the water.
♦Check that all openings on the floodlight are tightly sealed
before every dive.
♦Clean the battery of the floodlight, as well as the surface and
the switches, with clean fresh water after every dive. You can
use a mild cleanser to clean the switches if they are blocked
with debris.
♦Ensure that there is no debris or salt water residue trapped
inside the battery connector, after every dive. Wipe the metal
pins inside the battery connector clean and keep dry when not
in use.
♦Recharge the battery when the outer light ring circling flashes
red, or at least once every three months.
♦Never shine the floodlight directly into human or animal eyes.
♦When the floodlight is on, do not cover the head of the
floodlight.
Rechargeable Battery Safety
♦When the batteries are not in use, keep them away from other
metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, and screws,
which can make a connection from one terminal to another.
5

♦Store the batteries only within a temperature range of 32˚F -
113˚F ( 0°C-45°C ).
♦Do not open the batteries.
♦Protect the batteries against heat, including continuous sun
irradiation and fire.
♦When a battery is defective, liquid can escape and come into
contact with adjacent components.
♦Use only batteries with the voltage listed on the nameplate of
your floodlight. When using batteries with other voltages,
there is danger of injury as well as property damage through
exploding batteries.
♦Protect the battery charger from rain and moisture. The battery
charger is not waterproof.
♦Before use, always check the battery charger, cable, and plug. If
you detect defects, do not use the battery charger. Never open
the battery charger. Instead, have it opened and repaired only
by qualified personnel who will use original spare parts.
Getting Started with the Floodlight
Your Max Planck 15000 includes the following main components:
6

Charging the Batteries
The Li-ion batteries are supplied partially charged, and must be
charged to full capacity before using the floodlight for the first time.
When the batteries are fully charged, the floodlight can run at the
highest intensity for up to one hour.
Caution: Use only a Li-ion battery from the original
factory with the voltage listed on the nameplate of your
floodlight. Using other batteries not suitable for the
floodlight can lead to malfunctions, cause damage to
the floodlight, and pose a fire hazard.
Danger: Ensure that the power supply voltage
corresponds with the data on the nameplate of the
battery charger.
Danger: Only use the charger in a dry environment. The
charger is not waterproof. Never attempt to charge the
batteries under water.
The batteries can be charged at any time without reducing their
service life. The battery charger detects the charging condition of
the batteries, and charges them with the optimum current.
Interrupting the charging procedure does not damage the batteries.
1. Connect the mains plug of the battery charger to an electrical
outlet. A steady green light on the battery charger indicates
that the charger is ready for operation.
2. Press the battery charger’s connector into the socket on the
top of the battery pack. There is only one way to insert the
connector into the battery socket.
7

The batteries begin charging as soon as they are connected to the
charger, and stop charging as soon as they are full.
⬥A steady red light on the battery charger indicates that
the battery is charging.
⬥A steady green light on the battery charger indicates that
the battery is fully charged.
Note: The battery is equipped with an NTC temperature
controller that only allows it to be charged when its
temperature is between 32˚ F - 113˚ F ( 0˚C- 45˚C ,
ensuring a long battery service life.
Inserting the Batteries into the Floodlight
1. Ensure the 3-prong connector is in alignment with the
3 holes on top of the battery.
2. Insert the battery into the bottom of the floodlight
base.
Caution: Use only a Li-ion battery from the original
factory with the voltage listed on the nameplate of your
drill. Using other batteries not suitable for the drill can
lead to malfunctions, cause damage to the power tool,
and pose a fire hazard.
Removing a Battery from the Floodlight
Pull the battery pack out and down, without exerting any force.

Operating the Floodlight
Switching the Floodlight On or Off
♦The left button is used to turn the Floodlight On/Off and to
change the light intensity levels. There are five light intensity
levels.
♦Pressing the left button for two seconds will turn the Floodlight
ON. If the outer light ring circling illuminates GREEN, this
indicates that the battery is sufficiently charged. The outer light
ring circling will illuminate RED when the battery is 20%
charged or less. If the outer light ring starts flashing RED, this
means that battery power level is too low and it needs to be
recharged.
♦Pressing the left button for two seconds will also turn the
Floodlight OFF.
Changing the Light intensity levels
♦The default light intensity of the Floodlight is set to 20% when
you first switch ON the Floodlight.
♦Press the left button to switch through the five light intensity
levels [20%-40%-60%-80%-100%].
♦When you press the left switch after 100% light intensity it will
revert back to the lowest light intensity, 20%.
Changing the Light modes
♦There are three Light modes:
oWide-angle white LED Floodlight
oUV light
oWhite floodlight and UV light
♦The right button is used to change among the three Light
modes. When you first turn ON the Floodlight (using the left
button) the Floodlight will be in the wide-angle white LED
floodlight mode.
♦Press the right button to turn on the UV light mode.
9

♦Press the right button a second time to turn on the white
floodlight and UV light mode.
♦Press the right button a third time to revert to the wide-angle
white LED floodlight mode.
How to preserve the battery life and store your Nemo
Floodlight
Before using a Nemo Floodlight, ensure that the battery for the tool
has been fully charged to 100%.
Do not operate a Nemo Floodlight, when the battery of the tool is
low in power.
If the battery power becomes low, stop work immediately and
recharge the battery.
When not in use, the Nemo Floodlight should be safely stored away
with the battery disconnected from the floodlight.
Never leave the battery connected to the Nemo Floodlight longer
than 24 hours when not in use.
Make sure there is no metal or other things to block the connector
after every dive and keep the brass pin dry when storing.

Maintenance
Servicing the Floodlight
If your floodlight is damaged or faulty, have it repaired by an
authorized service technician.
Caution: Under no circumstances should the floodlight
be opened for repairs or any other purpose by anyone
other than an after-sales service technician authorized
by Nemo Power Tools. Opening the floodlight
invalidates the manufacturer warranty.
Transporting the Floodlight
The battery pack has effective protection against internal
over-pressure and short-circuiting, as well as devices preventing
violent rupture and dangerous reverse current flow.
The lithium-equivalent content in the batteries is below applicable
limit values. Therefore, the batteries are not subject to national or
international regulations pertaining to dangerous mediums, either
as individual components or when inserted into a floodlight.
However, the regulations governing dangerous goods may be
relevant when transporting several batteries. In this case, it might
be necessary to comply with special conditions, such as those
governing packaging.
Disposing of the Floodlight
At the end of its lifecycle, the floodlight, its accessories, and
packaging should be sorted for environmentally friendly recycling.
Do not dispose of the batteries in household waste, fire, or water.
Batteries should be collected, recycled, or disposed of in an
environmentally friendly manner.
