If your HID or LED light is equipped with underwater pluggable connectors
(E/O connectors), it is possible that this connecon has become
compromised. Over me, the female connecon may widen out and not
clamp securely over the male connector. A rather inelegant but eecve
method to recfy this problem is to gently tap the female connecon with a
hammer, carefully ghtening the female receptacle.
It is also possible that the switch has become damaged, perhaps with
corrosion, resulng in sporadic operaon. 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 posion 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 overheang.
Lights should always be disconnected while transported.
What to do if your burn time is less than expected
Check the condion of the baery pack to conrm that the reduced burn
me isn't the result of an error induced during charging. You can check a
baery pack's condion with the following steps:
1. Verify that the charger is plugged into a properly funconing 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 acvated when
the charger is plugged into an acve outlet.
3. Verify that the light indicang "charged" is acvated at the end of your
charging cycle.
4. Verify that the charger is funconing by aempng to charge the baery a
second me. Unplug your baery pack from the charger and wait at least
7 seconds before reconnecng so that the charger can reset itself.
5. The baery must be charged completely and then placed under a load
with a volt meter, typically as part of a burn test. If the baery voltage
drops rapidly below approximately 12 volts, the baery is not charged.
The voltage should drop slowly to approximately 12 volts and then conn-
ue to drop slowly. Please refer to the manual secon on burn tesng your
baery prior to enacng these suggesons. If you are aempng to verify
the voltage drop, submerge the light head in water before acvang.
6. Gauge the actual burn me with a baery test. Please consult the earlier
secon in the manual for instrucons on conducng a burn me test. If
the baery is charging properly but the test indicates a lower than ex-
