Pour charger :
1. Éteignez la 8060.
2. Insérez la 8060 dans les bras du chargeur avec le commutateur ori-
enté vers vous et veillez à ce que les contacts du chargeur s’alignent
avec ceux de la 8060. La DEL passera du ROUGE FIXE au ROUGE
CLIGNOTANT pour indiquer que le cycle de charge rapide est en
cours d’exécution.
3. Le bloc-piles sera complètement chargé lorsque la DEL passera au
VERT FIXE.
Remarque : Une DEL clignotant en vert indique un problème de charge. Retirez la lampe-
torche du chargeur et nettoyez les contacts de recharge. Si le problème per-
siste, veuillez renvoyer la lampe-torche en vue de sa réparation sous garantie.
Pour connecter l’adaptateur d’alimentation CA/CC :
1. Faites pivoter le chargeur de manière à ce que la base soit orientée
vers vous.
2. Utilisez la fiche mâle à angle droit de l’adaptateur d’alimentation et
insérez l’extrémité métallique dans la prise femelle qui se trouve dans
un renflement de la base du chargeur. Vous devrez peut-être utiliser
un petit tournevis plat pour guider avec soin la fiche dans la prise.
3. Faites passer le cordon dans le canal provenant du renflement.
Entretien du bloc-piles
Le bloc-piles de la 8060 atteindra sa capacité maximale uniquement après
un certain nombre de cycles de charge/décharge.
Ne pas faire fonctionner votre lampe-torche 8060 au-delà du point où la
puissance lumineuse devient faible. Le fonctionnement au-delà de ce
point endommagera le bloc-piles et en raccourcira la durée de vie.
Ne pas décharger excessivement votre lampe-torche afin de tenter de
sortir du mode “mémoire”.
Effectuer cela est inutile, car les piles modernes au NiMH, lorsqu’elles sont
utilisées dans des lampes-torches telles que la 8060, n’entraineront prob-
ablement pas ce résultat. En outre, une décharge complète des piles peut
potentiellement entrainer une fuite dangereuse de gaz et de l’électrolyte.
Montage du chargeur
La base du chargeur de la 8060 peut être montée de façon permanente
dans la plupart des positions, sauf à l’envers dans les véhicules. Deux ori-
fices de montage sont fournis pour permettre la fixation au moyen de vis
#10. L’adaptateur d’alimentation CA/CC doit être branché avant de monter le
chargeur (voir ci-dessus).
Installation dans un véhicule
Le chargeur de la 8060 peut être installé de façon permanente dans la
plupart des véhicules, cette opération devant être effectuée par un technicien
professionnel. Le chargeur ne doit pas être installé à l’envers, au risque
d’une éjection de la 8060 dans certaines conditions.
Lors de l’installation du chargeur, assurez-vous que le système de câblage
direct (vendu séparément) est connecté sur un circuit commandé par clé de
contact.
La forte intensité requise par ce chargeur peut vider la batterie du véhicule
s’il est connecté directement à la batterie.
Entretien des joints toriques
Enlevez toute trace de saleté ou les corps étrangers des surfaces
d’étanchéité des joints toriques. Maintenez les joints toriques lubrifiés avec
de la graisse de silicone.

Overview

The Pelican 8060 is a high-performance rechargeable flashlight designed for professional use, featuring a high-output LED pre-focused lamp module that emits a strong, tight beam of white light without the need for manual focusing.

Function Description

The 8060 flashlight comes with a partially charged battery pack and requires an initial charge of at least 24 hours before use. It offers programmable modes, allowing users to customize its operation. To select a program, the user must partially depress the button repeatedly within 0.5 seconds for a specific number of times (momentary presses, not clicks) and then hold the button until the 8060 flashes an acknowledgment. The number of confirmation flashes indicates the selected program number. For instance, 8 momentary presses select Program 1 (High > Strobe > Medium > Low), 10 presses select Program 2 (High Only), 12 presses select Program 3 (High > Medium > Low > Flashing), and 14 presses select Program 4 (Low > Medium > High > Flashing).

Once a program is selected, the mode within that program can be changed by depressing the button momentarily (without clicking) once for each step in the program, with presses needing to be within 0.5 seconds. To turn the flashlight OFF from any activated mode, the button must be fully depressed. A full depression also locks in the chosen mode.

The flashlight includes a low battery indication feature: a red flashing LED, located in front of the switch area, illuminates when the charge level drops below 25%, signaling that the flashlight should be charged as soon as possible.

The charger is designed to fully charge the battery pack in under 5 hours. It features LED Charge Lights to indicate the battery's status during the charging cycle: a solid red light means the 8060 is not connected, a flashing red light indicates fast charging, and a solid green light signifies that the battery is fully charged. The 8060 may require several charge/discharge cycles to achieve its maximum lamp run-time. It is not necessary to fully discharge the battery before charging, and the flashlight can be left in the charger housing indefinitely without risk of over-charging.

To charge the 8060, first turn it off. Then, snap the 8060 into the arms of the charger with the switch facing the user, ensuring the charger contacts engage with the flashlight's contacts. The LED will transition from solid red to flashing red, indicating the fast charging cycle has begun. Once the LED turns solid green, the battery pack is fully charged. A flashing green LED, however, indicates a charging problem, in which case the user should remove the flashlight from the charger and clean the charging contacts. If the problem persists, the flashlight should be returned for warranty-related repair.

Usage Features

The 8060 charger base can be permanently mounted in most positions, excluding upside-down in vehicles. It has two mounting holes for attachment using #10 screws. The AC/DC power transformer must be connected before mounting the charger. For vehicle installation, a professional auto technician should perform the setup. The charger should not be installed upside down, as certain conditions might cause the 8060 to be ejected. When installing the charger in a vehicle, ensure the Direct Wiring Rig (sold separately) is connected to an ignition key-switched line to prevent the charger from draining the vehicle's battery if connected directly.

The 8060 flashlight can also operate using four "C" cell disposable alkaline batteries as an alternative to the rechargeable NiMH battery stick. It is crucial to remove alkaline batteries before attempting to charge the 8060 flashlight.

Maintenance Features

The NiMH battery stick may eventually lose its ability to hold a charge after extended use and will need replacement. Replacement battery sticks are available where Pelican flashlights are sold or directly from Pelican Products, Inc. To replace the battery stick, unscrew the rear battery cap, remove the old battery stick, install the new battery stick with the positive end (+) first, and then replace the battery cap. When disposing of the NiMH Battery Stick, users are advised to act responsibly, as the part is recyclable and should not be discarded in municipal waste systems. Local waste disposal authorities should be consulted for proper disposal information.

For O-Ring maintenance, any dirt or foreign matter should be removed from the O-ring sealing surfaces, and the O-rings should be kept lubricated with silicone grease.

Battery Care

The 8060 battery pack will only reach maximum capacity after several charge/discharge cycles. To prolong battery life, avoid operating the flashlight until the lamp becomes dim, as this can damage the battery cells. Over-discharging the flashlight to reduce a "memory" condition is unnecessary with modern NiMH batteries and can cause the batteries to vent potentially dangerous gases and electrolytes.

Safety Information

It is important to handle and store batteries properly to avoid injury, as damaged batteries can be dangerous. Most battery issues stem from improper handling or the use of damaged or counterfeit batteries.

For rechargeable batteries, hazardous location safety approvals for explosive environments are only valid with the Pelican battery pack supplied with the light. Only approved Pelican battery packs should be used for replacement to maintain safety approval. Lights should only be charged in a non-hazardous location using the supplied Pelican charger base. The flashlight should be charged and operated within specific temperature ranges: -20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F). Never charge the flashlight with alkaline batteries installed, as this can lead to internal gas or heat generation, potentially resulting in venting, explosion, or fire. Deep discharge of the rechargeable battery can cause batteries to vent dangerous gases and electrolytes. Always dispose of all batteries properly at an approved battery recycling center.

Before disassembling any part of the 8060 flashlight, ensure it has not been operating for at least five minutes, as the lamp module can become extremely hot during operation and cause injury if touched.
