OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use the Sports-LITE for any purpose other than that for which it is designed – as a mobile floodlighting system.
If more than one operator is expected to set up or use a Sports-LITE Lighting System at different times, each operator is required to follow all safety rules and instructions in the operators manual. That means every new operator should perform a pre-operation inspection and function tests before using the Sports-LITE.

4a) PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION
Always perform a pre-operation inspection.
The Pre-operation inspection is a visual inspection performed by the operator prior to each use of the Sports-LITE. This inspection is designed to discover if anything is obviously wrong with a unit before the operator puts it into use.
A damaged or modified Sports-LITE must never be used. If any damage is discovered the Sports-LITE must be removed from service until it has been repaired.
Maintenance and repairs can be executed only by authorised personnel. If any person maintaining or repairing the device is in any doubt, they should contact their dealer or Ritelite (Systems) Ltd.

PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION
Check the following parts or areas for any signs of damage or missing parts.

• Leg locking clamp
• Cables (for kinks, frays, abrasions, bare conductors showing)
• Plugs and sockets
• Legs and feet
• Tripod mast column and associated handles / knobs / adjustment points
• Nuts, bolts and other fasteners
• Check to make sure that there are no dents, weld cracks in the product or signs of significant rust / corrosion.
• Make sure the light head lenses are free from cracks or areas of damage where water could enter.
• Make sure that all structural and other critical components are present and all associated fasteners and pins are in place and properly tightened.

Check to make sure there are no dents or cracks or areas of damage to the lithium battery.

4b) SETUP OPERATION

1. Plan the suitable location(s) for the light(s)to be setup to maximise the spread of light for the task. Remove the tripod from it’s storage bag.
2. Locate the leg release knob and slacken by rotating is an anti-clockwise direction.
3. Hold the mast firmly in one hand. Grasp a leg with another and pull downwards to spread the tripod legs.
4. The legs are in the correct position when the tie bars between the legs and centre mast are horizontal to the ground.
5. Re-tighten the leg release knob by turning in a clockwise direction. Do not over tighten.
6. Remove the light head from its storage bag. Check the light head locking knob is fully undone.
7. Place the battery pack into the bracket. Only use the handle provided to lift the battery, never the battery cable.
8. Secure the battery in place with the velcro strap. Check the velcro is securely in place before placing on tripod.
9. Connect the battery cable to the light head cable, it only fits one way.
10. Push the connector in until it clicks into place. This ensures a good water resistant connection. Dependant on battery model the light may switch on as soon as this connection is made.
11. Carefully lower the light head onto the mast spigot until flush with the wide collar.
12. Tighten the light head knob by turning in a clockwise direction.
13. The head has a limited level of adjustment for optimum illumination of the ground. Tilt the head back depending on the area to be illuminated. Note that the limited movement is intentional and that the advanced optics are designed to work in the angle allowable.
14. Press the button the rear of the unit to turn the power on. The light-head unit will now illuminate. The battery level lights will also illuminate at the same time and stay on whilst the head is running, giving you an indication of level remaining (this button push is not required on versions where the light illuminates as soon as connected).
15. Slacken off the tripod mast knob by rotating in an anti-clockwise direction.
16. Holding the lower mast section secure with one hand, pull the upper mast section upwards in stages. A safety pin will click into holes in the mast as it is raised, allowing movement upwards only. Once full height is reached gently lower a short distance until the mechanism clicks into the highest hole for safety.
17. Re-tighten the mast knob by rotating in a clockwise direction. Do not over tighten.
18. The Sports-LITE is now setup and ready for use.

4c) BREAKING DOWN OPERATION
Breaking down the Sports-LITE to put it away is a reverse of the setting up operation.

1. Slacken off the mast knob by rotating in an anti-clockwise direction.

2. Press and hold the lever below the knob. The mast will slowly lower until it comes to a stop above the knob. The head will defend initially then slow and come down under full control on an air cushion system built into the mast.

3. Press the button to turn off the power. On versions where the switch only controls the display press the button to toggle the display on off as required.

4. Slacken off the light head knob by rotating in an anti-clockwise direction until it comes to a stop.

5. Lift the light head off the unit and place on the ground. If the head is hot at end of use allow to cool for 5 minutes before handling.

6. IMPORTANT Disconnect the battery cable by pressing in the tab of the connector as shown above, then gently pull the connectors apart.
   WARNING:The battery pack must always be disconnected after use to prevent any risk of turning the power on while the light heads are stored. The light heads produce a lot of heat when switched on and will damage the storage bag or any surface in close proximity to the lens. 

7. If you want to remove the battery pack from the light head pull up the velcro strip.

8. Lift the battery pack out carefully using the handle. DO NOT LIFT BY THE CABLE.

9. Once the light head has cooled down place back in it’s storage bag. If transporting the batteries in the head unit in the bag, ensure the battery cable is disconnected first. Make sure the battery display is also turned off.

11. Hold the mast firmly in one hand. Grasp a leg with another and pull upwards to close the tripod legs.

12. Re-tighten the leg release knob. Do not over-tighten.

13. Place the tripod back inside it’s storage bag.

WARNING:As you lower the mast always be conscious of other personnel and the surrounding area above and around the Sports-LITE.

CAUTIOM
Take extra care handling light heads when packing the Sports-LITE away for transport in case housings are still hot.

Section 5: CHARGING AND DISCHARGING

Your Sports-LITE mobile lighting system comes with a single charger or the optional 4, 5 or 6 multi-bank chargers. All chargers work identically, the multi-bank chargers gives the added versatility of a single wall plug.
All charger types allow a wide voltage input range of 100 – 240V AC, please check your local supply is within this range before connecting the charger to your mains outlet.
The single charger uses a figure of 8 mains input cable, multiple country mains input plug types can be catered for and provided for on request. Please ask your distributor or Ritelite  (Systems) Ltd.
The multi-bank mains chargers use a 3 pin IEC C13 cable to mains plug depending on country. This product must have a 3 wire mains connection including an earth/grounding.

OPERATION
It is good practice to keep your batteries fully charged ready for use.

1.  Check the battery is turned off, then connect your battery coupler to the charger output plug.
2. Switch the mains supply on to the charger. The power should only be turned on after the battery has been connected to the charger with the battery turned off.
3. After turning on the mains power to the charger the charger indication light will glow red. The state of charge (SOC) can be seen on the battery itself as it charges up. Note you may need to turn the battery display on with the circular button on the battery.
4. Charging from empty will take approximately 6 hours. Once charged the state of charge indicator on the battery will show all status LED’s lit (one red and four green). The status LED on the charger will show green.
5. Batteries are fully charged when green lights show on both the battery AND the charger display.
6. Once charged first disconnect the mains supply to the charger at the wall socket, then disconnect all batteries. Batteries can be left on charge indefinitely as the charger manages the charge without overcharging. For best results ensure batteries are fully charged within 24 hours prior to use. Turn the battery display off once charging is complete.

IN USE
Your Sports-LITE battery will show its state of charge (SOC) via the 5 LED display on the battery.
When the battery is disconnected from the charger and the power on button pressed the LED’s will show the charge level, the single red (power on LED) and four green LED’s indicate the battery is fully charged at 100%.
As the battery discharges the green LED indicators will gradually go out. When the red LED indicator shows, the battery is low and those relying on the light should finish the task in hand so they aren’t suddenly left in darkness. At 5% SOC the red LED will flash.
When the battery is completely exhausted no LED’s will show until the battery is placed on charge again.
When in use it is a good idea to monitor the state of charge periodically to be aware of the approximate time you may have left in use. Be aware of the light required for the time it takes to finish the task in hand and pack away.
