Murray 2AVXA-SG L.E.D HUNTING LIGHTS

SLOW GLOW TECHNOLOGY

The Slow Glow Gradual Illuminant Technology Hunting light system is the most advanced hunting light ever made. Simply connect your battery and walk away; there are no switches or settings to make. Your light will stay off during the day and automatically come on at dusk. For efficiency, a sophisticated brightness control circuit will constantly look for motion and adjust the LED intensity automatically. When triggered by motion, the intensity of your light will slowly illuminate the hunting area which eliminates sudden flashes or startling changes in light. This unique stealth technology was designed for ease of use and fail-safe dependability. Our Tag-Line: “They’ll Never Know What Lit ‘em” will be evident the first time you use your new Slow Glow. No other light creates a hunting experience like this!

SLOW GLOW LIGHTS

The Slow Glow model RMT is our signature light. “RMT” stands for Remote, Motion, & Training. Training Mode keeps your light at just 5% intensity all night until motion is detected; this trains game to a non-invasive dull light in the area. Motion Triggers our Gradual I Gradual Illuminant Technology which brings your light to 60% intensity over a 2-minute period, and the included remote control allows you to control your light from more than 100 yards away.

The Slow Glow model IRG is the evolution of the Slow Glow Family of Lights. Our IRG model features all the same attributes of our signature RMT but adds the ability to cast infrared light (instead of visible red). When utilizing Green Light, your IRG will act exactly like our model RMT. When you switch to Infrared, light functions change slightly. Because there is no visible light, there is no need for a gradual increase in light so model IRG Ilights in infrared mode provides instant light upon detecting motion and utilizing the long-distance remote control.

SLOW GLOW PACKAGES

The Stealth Box mounting platform is built for hunters that want to mount their light directly to a t-post. This “Texas-made” pelican-style carrying case can carry your light, battery, remote control, and mounting harcware at the same time. Once you get to your T-Post, easily convert your carrying9 case to a secure mounting platform in minutes. The case connects to the t-post using included beam-clamps, and then allows your light to be mounted to the outer case, with the ability to tilt and swivel your light towards your desired hunting area. The case houses your battery and all wires to make your Stealth Box setup both weather and critter resistant.

The “All In One” package comes with our signature RMT or IRG hunting light, packaged in our Stealth Box Setup (with all the same accessories as our Stealth Box Package), AND includes a 12v battery, 5w Solar Panel, and mounting hardware for your solar panel to the top of a t-post.

POWERING UNIT ON / OFF

There is no power button on our Slow Glow Lights, simply plug your light into a fully charged 12v battery and the light will power on. If it is daytime or you are indoors, the LED lighls will be nonilluminated, but the Green Good Battery Light on the side of the light should power on, of all the technical- support calls we take, 90% of them are direcly influenced by a low ballery. When your gallery voltage gels below 10.5v, the light will not function correctly. We recommend an 8 amp-hour battery but a 7 amp-hour will work. Ensure your battery is fully charged before powering on the unit. Your remote control is powered bya standard 9v alkaline battery.

Slow Glow RMT Power Cord
An RMT (without the optional stealth box) comes with a 5′ power cord that connects directly to a 12v power source. Simply connect the red cord lo the red terminal, and the black cord lo the black terminal. This will activate the RED LED’S in your Slow Glow. Reverse the polarity and hook your light up backwards to activate the GREEN LEDS (ScC section “Changing Ligh Lolor” jor more information).
Stealth Box Power Cord
Slow Glow RMT and IRG models shipped with the Steallh Box oplion are equipped with a 2-piece power cord assembly. This he ps to keep polarity correct when the optional solar panel is used. connect the short power cord thal has a red and a green barrel connector lo the battery by pushing on the quick disconnect red/black connectors on the positive and negative terminals of the battery. This will leave red and green barrel connector ends allowing you lo power your Slow Glow with either red or green colors. Changing LED colors is done by simply plugging light into either RED or GREEN connector (see seclion “Changing Light Color” lor more information).

CHANGING LIGHT COLOR

Light without a Stealth Box
If you ordered a light without the optional Stealth Box, your light will have a 5’ power cord with Red & Black quick-connect terminals. If you desire a RED light, hook the Slow Glow power cord directly to the battery with the red wire going to the positive terminal and the black wire going to the negative terminal. If you desire a GREEN light, reverse the polarity and hook up the red wire to the negative terminal and the black wire to the red terminal of the battery.

Light within a Stealth Box
Lights that came as part of our Stealth Box package have a shorter power cord with a male barrel plug. Simply plug the light into either the RED or GREEN power jack barrel, and ensure the barrels are connected to the correct battery terminals. Model IRG Lights activate 850nm infrared light when utilizing the RED barrel, and green LED light when connected to the GREEN barrel. We offer an optional 5’ extension cord that can be purchased on our website. This allows you to mount your Slow Glow outside of your Stealthbox, with enough cord to set your battery on the ground.

4 MODES OF OPERATION

Mode 1: DAYTIME MODE (0% light output)
Two independent monitoring eyes constantly evaluate ambient light conditions; both sensors require ample natural light to activate the light to turn on. This prevents unintended dimming during full moon conditions or when hunting near bright backlit areas. This feature also allows the Slow Glow system to function at post-dawn and pre-dusk periods (prime time for nocturnal game). Daytime Mode (0%) uses no battery power and is activated shortly after daylight.

Mode 2: TRAINING MODE (5% light output)

Training mode is activated at dusk and will produce a very efficient dim glow (5% intensity), training game to a light in the area. Your light will stay lit in training mode the entire night at this faint 5% glow to introduce non- intrusive light to your hunting area. Your light will remain in training mode until motion is detected or triggered with the remote control. Training mode is not bright enough to be intimidating to most game, and commonly goes unnoticed by wild hogs, exotic game, and predators. The longer a light is left in a hunting area, the more accustom game become to the light. Model IRG: If your model IRG light is in Infrared mode, it will continue to utilize training mode 5% light output. Even though the light is not visible, it allows the hunter to monitor the area using night vision without activating the light up to 100% by remote control.

Mode 3: MOTION SENSED MODE (60% light output)

The motion sensor will trigger a timing circuit when movement is detected within 30 feet of your light. Once triggered, the light intensity ill slowly increase from 5% intensity to approximately 607% intensity; this process will take about 2 minutes. Once the light reaches 60% intensity, Motion Sensed Mode (60%) will maintain this ight level until the motion sensor ceases to see movement for 2 to 3 consecutive minutes. Each new sensed movement resets the timer. Without any detected movement for this time period, the intensity will automatically drop back to the Iraining Mode (5% intensity).  Mode 4: REMOTE CONTROL MODE (100% light output)
The remote control can be used to increase the intensity of your light to 100%, remote control mode will also latch the system in the full-on mode to prevent system from dimming, regardless of detected motion. This feature should be used when stalking in behind your light. Due to the amount of battery power required tor Remote Control Mode (100%% intensity), it is not recommended to be used tor periods of time greater than 1 hour. Depressing the top remote-control button (Full) will trigger a gradual light increase up to 100% intensity, and will remain at full power until the bottom remote control button (AUTO) is pressed. Once the AUTO button is pressed, light will determine if motion has been detected within the past 2 minutes; it it has, the intensity will drop slowly to 60% and maintain this level until motion is no longer detected. This prevents the game being alarmed by seeing a sudden drop in light intensity. If light determines that no motion has not been detected during the previous 2-3 minutes, intensity will return to the Training Mode (5% intensity). *Model IRG Lights: lf your model lRG light is in GREEN mode, it will utilize the Gradual luminant lechnology and increase light slowly. t your model IRG is in infrared mode, the gradual light increase has been omitted and will increase to 60% immediately ater detecting motion, and 100

REVERSIBLE LENS

1. grip the light firmly. It will help to point the light upward to keep Point the unit upward and the inner funnel aligned inside the light.
2. Twist the top bezel closest to the lens counter-clockwise while holding the light firmly with your opposite hand.
3. Place the convex side of the lens down into the light to keep the flat side outward, creating a 120-degree lighted field of view. Better for hunting with a gun from long distances or lighting up a broader area.
4. Place the convex side of the lens outward to create a narrow 60-degree lighted field of view. Better for stalking from behind the light, or lighting thick areas.

LIGHT FUNCTIONS

Good Battery Light Indicator

On the right side of your Slow Glow, there is a small GREEN LED. This is the Good Battery Light Indicator, which illuminates it the voltage of your battery is between 11 volts and the fully charged level of 13.8 volts. This GREEN light ensures that your battery has at least enough voltage to effectively run your light for at least 1 more night of hunting. Unless you have a solar charger, it is recommended you check your Good Battery Light Indicator prior to every night of hunting to ensure you have enough power to operate your light al- -night.

Sunlight Sensor

Next to the GREEN LED, there is a small ” photocell. This measures ambient light and activates your Slow Glow just betore dark and extinguishes it when nocturnal feeding times have passed at daylight. This keeps the training light active during pre/post wedding activities which is often prime time for animal movement.

Testing the System: Ensure the GREEN Good Battery Light Indicator is on, if not, replace or recharge your 12v battery. If training light is off due to daylight, cover the photocell with your fingertip, black tappe, or a dark cloth. This simulates darkness and activates Training Mode. Although your “Green Good Battery Light” should stay on day and night, neither the Remote Control or Motion Detection features are functional during daylight hours. Testing at night can be done by walking in front of the motion sensor or using the remote control and verifying the expected results. We don’t recommend testing indoors

MOUNTING YOUR LIGHT

• Setup
  It is recommended that your light be placed 20″ from your feeder or hunting area, preferably down wind, and raised 4 to 5 feet off the ground. This method allows the motion detection to work ettectively and lights the largest amount of turntable area. Motion can be detected as tar away as 30 teet from your light.

• Mounting
  Dependent on the type of hunting you do, choices are endless with the slow Glow system. In all cases though, you will be hunting from “behind” the light, making it essential to mounting your light downwind ot your hunting area. This prevents the hunter from being blinded by the intense light and prevents game from vending your position. Having several mounting options like pre-placed T-Posts makes moving the system easy in the event the wind suddenly changes direction. The bottom of every light has a 1″ female conduit fitting, making it easy to place atop a piece of 1″ pipe. Also, every light features a 1/4″ x 20 threaded connection point on the back of the light, making it easy to connect a number ot different quick mounts.

• Stealth Box System
  By far the best way to mount your Slow Glow is utilizing the optional Stealth box. This rugged Texas-made tactical case has been specially designed to easily mount to a T-Post. The Stealth Box includes all hardware needed to securely tasten to any 1-Post and includes an articulating PVC arm which allows easy positioning of the light exactly where you need it. The box comes predrilled and plugged to allow easy connection of an optional 5W solar panel. The lockable box has ample room inside to store the battery while keeping all components and wiring sate and secure from weather and critters.

• Slow Glow Mounting Clamp
  Every light is tapped with a quarter twenty thread for a variety of mounting options, the most ideal option utilizes our clamp mount that allows you to mount your light VERY securely to a T-Post

• Conduit fitting: The body of your Slow Glow Light is constructed of schedule 40 PVC which uses a standard 1″ water pipe or electric temale conduit fitting on the bottom. A slit has been cut that allows the power wire to be routed through the side of the 1″ outlet. This frees up the 1″ titting so a pipe can easily be inserted without damaging the cable. Examples of ways to use this mount include: driving a 1″ pipe directly into the ground, using a 5-gallon bucket of cement to support extension pipe or strapping extension pipe to Tence post, tree, etc.

• Tripod : One ot the most universal and dependable ways to mount the Slow Glow is witha video camera tripod Tripods allow you to adjust the height and angleof your light specitic to your hunting area. This method also makes your light super portable night tonight. Tethering your tripod to the ground is recommended to prevent livestock or game from knocking your set-up over.

BUILDING YOUR STEALTH BOX

1. Drive T-Post into ground with Post-Spine facing your feeding area; remove all contents from Case
2.  Remove (2) plugs from rear of case
3.  Remove 1-1/4″ rubber plug from left
4.  Install 2 silver T-post clamps to rear of the tactical case using 4″ bolts side of the case. Push side of the case. Push from inside
5.  Route Slow Glow power cord through 90-degree mounting elbow (non-threaded end first)
6.  Position/tighten tactical case to back spine of T- Post so door swings LEFT when opened 
7. Route power cord thru-hole in left side of the tactical case.
8. Use large PVC threaded collar (nut) to secure elbow from inside tactical case
9. Set 12 VDC battery in bottom of tactical case and connect wires
10. Adjust Slow Glow to proper horizontal and vertical angles. Close box

INSTALLING A SOLAR PANEL

• Nothing less than a 5w Solar Panel is recommended Our optional 5-watt solar panel will greatly enhance the ability to keep your battery fully charged all year long. Charge levels will fluctuate due to shorter days (winter), cloudy skies, rain, or excessive animal activity at night. Any panel providing less than 5w power will likely not be able to keep up with the demand of the light. Our Solar Panel Kit contains a high eticiency5-watt solar panel, pinch T-Post mounting clamp, T-Post top cap, U-Bolt, armored cable with cable gland and all wiring, and all hardware and connectors to intertace panel to Stealth Box. Solar Panel can be mounted vertical or horizontally by moving an aluminum pinch clamp and can be rotated on T-Post 360 in order to point panel toward the south (or your area of clearest maximum sun exposure).
  

• Installation Instructions Position and tighten U-Bolt around the l-Post with solar panel pointing south. Position and tighten Stealth Box where armored cable will reach the entry plug on top rear of case. Remove outer plastic lock nut and insert cable gland thru Stealth Box. Loosen cable gland outer nut so gland will thread into bOx. Tighten outer nut to squeeze armored power cord. Using the included locknut inside the Stealth Box is not necessary. With battery positioned in Stealth Box, slide RED female piggy-back terminal on positive battery post. Slide black female piggy-back terminal on negative battery post. The battery charging system is now ready to accept Slow Glow power cable.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Troubleshooting : Your new Slow Glow was designed for many years of outdoor use however any electric product that is exposed to the elements of weather can have shortened life expectancy if not taken care of.
Due to the simplistic operation, 99% of all failures are a result of defective batteries or inadequate charging systems.
The GREEN Good Battery LED on the right side of the unit is a very valuable tool. In essence, it’s a voltmeter that is always hooked up. If this LED is not lit, your Slow Glow is not going to operate correctly. Changing or charging your battery is always the first step in troubleshooting. Always return your Slow Glow to the AUTO mode after depressing the FULL button; otherwise your battery life will be shortened due to the power used to keep your light at 100% needlessly. If you will not be using your light for long periods, we recommend you remove your light and store inside until needed. Due to the training mode, hogs can be hunted the same night that it is installed. Please feel free to call the Slow Glow Customer Service and Sales Line with questions or concerns; we answer this phone 24/7/365; after-hours we forward it to our cell phones as a service to you.

SPECIFICATIONS

Slow Glow Light
Battery efficiency, pre cise light output, and Stealth intensity control, were the three primary design objectives behind the portable Slow Glow L.E.D. lighting system. Standard 120 VAC power supplies with constant 12 VDC output can be used if electricity is available. The Slow Glow system uses a 12-volt 8-amp hour battery (typical deer feeder battery available almost anywhere). Without a solar panel, battery life is dependent on the amount of animal activity in the vicinity. In areas where little activity is experienced, the battery could last a month. In more active areas where activity is present all night, your battery may only last a few nights. The following chart gives estimated run time-based on the typical operating characteristics of a 12-volt 8-amp hour battery during 10-hour nights:

• TRAINING 30 MA 26 NIGHTS
• MOTION 210 MA 3.8 NIGHTS
• REMOTE 390 MA 2.5 NIGHTS

HOW WE HUNT SLOW GLOW

Slow Glow Hunting Lights are designed to be mounted 20’ – 30‘ away from your hunting spot about 5’ off the ground. Lights are meant to be placed around feeders, watering holes, trails, or anywhere else you have wild pigs, exotic game, or predators you’d like to hunt at night. Sitting in a box blind all night is miserable! We developed this light to be used as a stalking tool, developed allowing hunters to sneak in from down-wind and behind the Slow Glow LED Light. The light is so bright, they’ll never see you coming. Sit back several hundred yards away and when you see that your light has been activated by motion, you know it’s time to move in. Use the light as an alarm and see how close you can get
