Operation:
1.
Turning
On
and
Off: turn the caplamp switch until the light comes on. Turn the caplamp switch until the light turns off.
2.
~ode
Chan~ing:
whilst the lamp is on, turn the caplamp switch on and off very quickly; this
must
be done in under 1 second.
The
light output will
increase noticeably. The difference between modes is very noticeable so no indication is required. Mode
1-
701m,
Mode
2-
185/m, Mode
3-
4001m.
When
in
Mode
3, changing
mode
will revert back to Mode
1.
Note that when you turn the lamp off permanently, up on turning it back on it
will revert to the last setting it
was
used in.
Be
aware
that
operating
the
Retro
XP
in
Mode
1
still
provides
an
excellent
level
of
light.
3.
OverHeating: if running in Mode 3 (highest setting) in certain conditions the Retro
XP
can over heat. The Retro
XP
in this case will reduce its
output to
Mode
2 and stays there until the whole unit has cooled down. When this happens it will flash quickly 3 times. Note that you cannot
change mode when overheated. Once cooled down. it will flash quickly 3 times again and return to Mode 3. The Retro XP
has
been built to fit into
caplamps that
w~re
.never designed for LED's, heat dissipation.is a problem when used in warm environments
or
in underground locations were
the temperature
1s
higher
than would be expected. In these cases over heating can occur and the cooling cycle will implement
to
account for this.
The unit cannot be damaged by over heating, as the maximum temperature is limited.
4.
Low
Battery:
if
a series
of
10 quick flashes occurs. this indicates
that the battery is low.
It
is recommended that you turn the lamp to
Mode 1 - the lowest setting to avoid draining the batteries
excessively and possibly damaging them, also this will give you the
maximum run time for
the
energy left. The series
of
quick flashes
will repeat every 10 minutes. There is a 3
Way
link labelled
SK1
on
the PCB, this enables very accurate low battery indication, as the
Retro XP knows by this
what
battery you are using with it. Make
sure that the link(s) are set up correctly to avoid false alarms.
