Operation
Charging
Safety First
Indication of battery discharging
The searchlight informs the user by a short interruption of illumination (1/2 second) when the
battery has been run down to 20% (approx.) of its rated capacity. The illumination is shortly
interrupted every 60 sec thereafter, until the light shuts off fully as the battery has insufficient
remaining stored energy for operation.
After the searchlight starts with this indication, the effective discharge of the battery you have
approx. 20% of the actual running time left until full shutdown of the searchlight.
When using the 50 watt (high) setting, once the 20% battery level is reached, first the
searchlight automatically reduces to the 35 watt setting to conserve available battery power.
Then the unit also starts the light interruption sequence as explained above.
After switching off or fully discharging wait 5 min and connect the searchlight to the
charger.
Charging
1. To charge the battery, unscrew the battery assembly (rear part of the searchlight) from
the body of the searchlight. Use force (torque) only as necessary for connection and
disconnection of the battery from the searchlight. Because of the sealing O-ring
additional torque is not needed and will make future removal more difficult.
2. Connect the charger to the source of the electric current first.
3. Screw the battery to the charger.
4. The green light starts blinking.
5.
6. Before connecting the battery back to the searchlight XV-XV-LX50, oil the
sealing ring and also the screw thread if necessary.

The searchlight is equipped with a set of Li-Ion cells assembled (enclosed) in an anodized
aluminum housing, (battery pack) that can be recharged repeatedly. Cells are heavily!under
load (power drain) during operation of the searchlight. Therefore wait 5 min after
finishing use of! (turned! off)! the searchlight,before recharging. If you connect the
searchlight to the charger immediately after switching off of the searchlight or immediately
after complete discharge, the charger will not start the charging! The internal batteries need a
few minutes to cool down.
Check the small indicator LED on the charger:
Green light off – Battery is not connected
Green light blinking – Charging
Green light on – Battery is full
Red light blinking – caution! – faulty operation, please disconnect and try again
ON-OFF Switch
The black rotary dial just behind the handle serves to switch the searchlight on and off.
Switching the searchlight on/off:
50 W – Quickly rotate the dial clockwise 3600.
35 W – Quickly rotate the dial counterclockwise 3600.
OFF – Quickly rotate the dial in opposite direction of the selected wattage
Note: Quick movements are necessary to switch the searchlight ON or OFF.

Additional power functions
In addition to the normal operation of the XeRay™ XV-LX50 HID searchlight through
simple external manipulation, an internal dip switch array is provided for two group of
advanced functions (Factory settings – all switches set to ON).
The dip switch array can only be accessed after the battery has been removed. The dip switch
array is located on the PCB inside the XeRay™ XV-LX50 HID searchlight body, see picture
below:
In order to switch the individual dip switches a ball pen may be used.
