1. PORTABLE WORKLIGHT Operating Instructions Thank you for purchasing the all new Supalite K8 LED portable worklight This product design represents the latest technology in LED portable lighting and is designed to be virtually maintenance free and robust enough to deal with the rigors of a harsh work environment OPERATION QUICK START Press once to switch on and again to switch off Whenever the unit is first switched on it will default to the 100 brightness setting regardless of how the unit was last used At switch on you will hear a bleep from the unit to signal all is well a second double bleep will be heard if the unit is on charge at the same time the status LED near to the on off switch will illuminate to show the units state of charge Note when the K8 is switched on the battery status always takes precedent over the charging status Use the second brightness button to scroll through the three settings of 100 66 and 33 each press of the button changes to the next setting Note always remember to put your K8 LED on charge after use Whether used for a short period or the full duration to prolong the life of the high capacity rechargeable battery This is especially important if you have purchased a sealed lead acid SLA battery as leaving an SLA battery in a discharged state for more than 24 hours has a detrimental effect on its capacity and lifespan CHARGING YOUR K8 LED Your K8 LED is supplied wi2. 5 hours Approx 4 hours Approx 7 hours Approx 13 hours Approx 30 mins Approx 45 mins Approx 60 mins Approx 6 hours Approx 7 hours Approx 9 hours 12 30V DC Internal circuit fusing 5A anti surge 32mm fuse in cigar plug IP66 for water dust ingress TECHNICAL DATA CONTINUED WEIGHT _ CHARGE RACK ONLY 0 480 Kg MAINS ADAPTOR 0 450 Kg DIMENSIONS WITH HEAD EXTENDED UP L x W x H 205mm x 125mm x 500mm DIMENSIONS WITH HEAD PACKED DOWN L x W x H OPTIONAL EXTRAS TAD SLK8LED LED Docking charge rack SLK8LED HND MESH remote control maximum range 100m SLK8LED HDR Upgrade K8 LED to remote control functionality SLK8LED AMF K8 LED auto mains failure module UK plug SLK8LED TRP K8 tripod system extends height to 2750mm Note other country plug types available for mains powered optional extras please contact Hy Ram Engineering Co Ltd for further information 11 CE Z Patents Pending CAUTION e Always read the manual fully before use e Use the approved chargers only other chargers may cause a detrimental effect on the performance of this unit e Ensure adequate ventilation for this unit whilst charging e Do not stare directly into the light head when powered up e Do not completely submerse the unit in water e No user serviceable parts inside Leave servicing to a qualified person The contents of this manual are subject to change without prior notice We take no responsibility for erro
