SHORT-PASS FILTERS
The color of the head depicts the output color of the head. The centre wavelength of the light output is
also printed on the head.
Special cut off (short pass) filters have been incorporated into the 415, 450, 505, 530 and 545 heads.
Since these heads are specifically used for a wide range of fluorescent applications it is essential to
remove the long spectral tail of the LED output at higher wavelengths produced by the LEDs, which
would normally reduce the intensity and observation of fluorescent trace evidence. The UV (365), and
RED head outputs have specifically narrow bands and do not require a short pass filter.
DIFFUSER FILTER INSERTION
A series of optional beam profile filters are available. To fit a Diffusion filter, simply slide the TAB of the
filter into the slot in the front ring and push the opposite side downward until it is held by the small
spring. To remove the Diffuser displace the retainer outwards to release the filter. There are 4 types of
Diffuser giving an extra divergence of 5, 20 and 50 degree beam cone or a line of light using the 60 x 1
degree filters. The number printed on the front of the filter holder is the divergence in degrees.

CHARGING
The carrying case has 4 charger cradles. The units inserted into the cradles can be charged using
either mains or car battery supplies. Two cables are provided, one for connection to the mains charger
and another for connection to a car battery outlet. The cradle indicates the progress of the charging,
illuminating orange when charging or Blue when charging is complete. Batteries retain their charge for
1 year when they are not in use.
Auto Charging (DC Charging)
Plug the auto charge connector into the car 12v plug. The battery reaches 80% charged after 1 hour and
then trickle charges to reach 100% after 2.5 hours. When the battery is charging, the ring on the charger
holder glows orange. When the battery is fully charged the ring glows blue. Remember that the battery
charges up faster than the discharge when the Flare+2 is in continuous full power operation. Different
coloured units drain the battery at various rates. (see time of use diagram below)
The UV head will run on full power for over 3.5 hours after the battery is fully charged. A quick charge
of only 10 minutes will give a run time of 10 to 15 minutes on full power.
