If your HID or LED light is equipped with underwater pluggable connectors
(E/O connectors), it is possible that this connecon has become
compromised. Over me, the female connecon may widen out and not
clamp securely over the male connector. A rather inelegant but eecve
method to recfy this problem is to gently tap the female connecon with a
hammer, carefully ghtening the female receptacle.
It is also possible that the switch has become damaged, perhaps with
corrosion, resulng in sporadic operaon. If you detect corrosion in the
switch mechanism, the light should be returned to Halcyon and the switch
replaced.
What to do if your HID or LED light turns itself on
A light that begins burning with the switch in the o posion must have
the switch replaced. This problem occasionally occurs in lights that have
been previously ooded. A light that turns itself on should be disconnected
immediately to prevent any damage from overheang.
Lights should always be disconnected while transported.
What to do if your burn time is less than expected
Check the condion of the baery pack to conrm that the reduced burn
me isn't the result of an error induced during charging. You can check a
baery pack's condion with the following steps:
1. Verify that the charger is plugged into a properly funconing outlet. Be
sure that this outlet is not controlled by a wall switch that may be shut o
inadvertently. Do not use an inverter to power your charger.
2. Verify that the power light (if available on your charger) is acvated when
the charger is plugged into an acve outlet.
3. Verify that the light indicang "charged" is acvated at the end of your
charging cycle.
4. Verify that the charger is funconing by aempng to charge the baery a
second me. Unplug your baery pack from the charger and wait at least
7 seconds before reconnecng so that the charger can reset itself.
5. The baery must be charged completely and then placed under a load
with a volt meter, typically as part of a burn test. If the baery voltage
drops rapidly below approximately 12 volts, the baery is not charged.
The voltage should drop slowly to approximately 12 volts and then conn-
ue to drop slowly. Please refer to the manual secon on burn tesng your
baery prior to enacng these suggesons. If you are aempng to verify
the voltage drop, submerge the light head in water before acvang.
6. Gauge the actual burn me with a baery test. Please consult the earlier
secon in the manual for instrucons on conducng a burn me test. If
the baery is charging properly but the test indicates a lower than ex-
