LUPINE BTL2 PRO 5000 Lumen Professional Rechargeable LED Flashlight

Safety Instructions

Warning! Avoid looking directly into the light emitted by the light or shining the light into your own eyes or the eyes of another person. If the light accidentally shines into your eyes, close your eyes and move your head out of the light beam. Do not use any strongly focusing optical device to look at the light beam. In cases where the light is used in a public or commercial setting, users should be provided with training concerning the safety measures for laser light.

This device may then be used by children 8 years of age or older, persons with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities, as well as persons with no previous experience in handling such devices, if they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety.

Attention! Risk group 2: Proven optical radiation! Do not look into the lamp for a long time during operation. May be harmful to the eyes. Danger of glare: The strong glare of the lamp can be temporary Eyesight and afterimages feel dying Irritation, authorizations or treatment commands can.

Re-charge you battery before using the light. Carry a spare light with you at all times, as the product can potentially fail unexpectedly at any time. In the event of any physical or internal battery failure, do not attempt to repair. No user-serviceable parts!

Heat generation: The housing of Betty may heat up; so make sure that you always keep the light at a safe distance to any combustible or flammable materials. Could cause fire or death!

However, quiescent operation (without cooling the light housing) is possible at any time and will not damage the product. When the light is being used in a stationary state, the light will be dimmed after a few minutes to reduce the light’s temperature. Continuous operation at 45 watts is only possible with air flowing over the housing!

Important! Always disconnect the battery from the light at transport or storage! Otherwise the small amount of power used by the electronics will discharge the battery, and the lamp may be switched on accidentally.

Water resistance: All components are waterproof and can of course be used under extremely severe conditions. The lamp complies with IP protection class 68 but is NOT a diving lamp and is NOT suitable for use under water.

Locking mechanism: Before removing the flashlight, check the position of the lock. Make sure the lock is open. To remove or insert the flashlight into the docking station, you must overcome a clear pressure point.

Charging and Mounting

Docking Station
The flashlight can be charged in many different ways:

• By the included 12V adapter
• 12V cable and cigarette lighter socket
• Through the internal socket and a Lupine standard charger (not included)
• Direct connection to 12V – 24V DC through the included cable

Installation to the wall or inside the vehicle
To attach the docking station, use the holes in the anodized metal rail. We recommend the use of four flat head screws, which should be selected according to the ground. Ensure a solid foundation. It takes some force to remove the lamp from the docking station.

Hint: We recommend you to set up the connection from an experienced vehicle builder or electrician. It is advisable to design the system in a way it is only charging when the ignition is switched on, in order to avoid discharging the vehicles battery. Always disconnect the electricity if working on the electronics. The charger at the end of the battery compartment automatically detects the voltage (12-24V Direct Current).

Warning! If the docking station is directly connected to 12-24V=, watch the polarity! Shorten the cable to the length you need.

Charging with power adapter or 12V cable
With the power adapter the Betty TL2 Pro can be charged from the wall socket.

1. Plug the supplied power adapter into your wall socket and connect it to the docking station.
2. Make sure the lock is open. Set and press the TL2 Pro into the docking station. You must overcome a clear pressure point. A high resistance must also be overcome when the lamp is removed. Do not be hesitant.
3. Charging starts automatically, the LEDs flash green. When the battery is full, the LEDs light green.

Charge via the internal charging socket
Alternatively, the Betty TL2 Pro can also be charged with many Lupine standard chargers.

1. Plug the charger into your wall outlet.
2. Unscrew the rechargeable battery from the flashlight and the charging socket becomes visible.
3. Plug the charger into the battery compartment.
4. If the battery is charged via the charging socket, no LEDs illuminate at the end of the battery compartment. The feature is only available when using the docking station.

Operation

Initialization & voltage display:
When the lamp is connected to the battery, the software will run a self test. All RGB LEDs will flash up and the lamp itself will flash once.
The battery voltage is then indicated by a blue and green LED, as follows:

• The blue LED flashes once for each volt; and then
• the green LED flashes once for each 1/10 of a volt.

To display the battery voltage again, unplug the light from the battery and then plug it in again.

Example: The blue LED flashes seven times and the green LED then flashes five times; this means that the measured voltage under load is 7.5 V. This display helps you assess the actual state of the battery prior to use.

Interpreting the voltage display:
More than 8.0 V: the battery is fully charged.
7.1 to 7.9 V: the battery needs charging.
6.5 to 7 V: the battery is not ready for use.

Note: To deactivate this display, simply press the button. In other words, you needn’t let the display go through its whole cycle in order to use the lamp.
The control electronics measures the voltage under load.
Thus, measurements using a voltmeter will not be comparable.

Switching on:
Press the power switch (DoubleClick) to turn the light on; two blue LEDs will glow, indicating the 22W dimming level. Press the button rapidly to cycle through other power levels. Refer to the chart on page 26 for the exact meaning of the five (RGB) monitor LEDs, as well as instructions for programming options additional to the factory-set 3-step mode.
Note: The red center LED will only run in a special mode, while otherwise just the outer 6 LEDs will shine.

Luminous performance:
The ambient temperature and the use of high power levels can reduce power to the LEDs, thus reducing their brightness, to avoid overheating the LEDs and other electronics. The actual reduction is indicated by the status LEDs: e.g., after a certain period of time, 4 of the 5 blue status LEDs will be lit, indicating that the power has been reduced from 45W in order to protect the unit from heat damage.

Switching off:
Hold the button down (for more than one second) to switch off the lamp.

Discharged battery capacity:
When you shut off the lamp, the discharged battery capacity is shown via flashing of the blue LED and then the green LED. This information can only be displayed once as it is deleted when you unplug the battery.
The blue LED blinks once for each Ah (ampere hour), and then the green LED blinks once for each 1/10 of an Ah.
Example: The blue LED flashes once and then the green LED flashes five times. This indicates that 1.5 Ah have been drawn from the battery.

Battery warning:
The LEDs on the back of the lamp-head change color to indicate decreasing voltage. When battery voltage drops below a certain level, the Backlight LED changes from blue to green. Near the end of the battery’s charge, the light turns red.

Safety advisory: When the battery is completely discharged ( all 5 red LEDs blink with a red backlight on), the light will shut down after flashing a few times.
In such a case, you should be careful.

Note: When permanently operating the lamp at high power, the battery warnings may be issued in very quick sequence.

Reserve power:
When the battery is completely discharged (all 5 red LEDs blink with a red backlight on), the light will shut down after flashing a few times. To activate the battery’s reserve power, double click the switch. This will give you a few minutes more light, whose exact amount depends on the age of your battery. The light emitted in reserve-power mode is a very low beam so as to conserve power and keep the light going as long as possible. The red 5 LEDs slowly flash when reserve power mode is activated and the backlight will be red. When the reserve power has been completely discharged, the light will shut down – so be careful.

Note: When operating the lamp only with 2 W or less, no reserve power will be available.

Warning: Do not switch on the light when the battery is discharged, as this will invariably damage the battery. Recharge the battery as soon as possible to avoid a deep discharged battery.

Customizing the brightness levels

You have the option to setup up to 4 brightness levels, in any sequence.

1. Press and hold the button until one green LED lights up. release the button
2. The range of brightness levels you can select will begin automatically to cycle, as shown below.
3. Press the button at the brightness level you want. the first power-on click is presented
4. Upon releasing the button, the sequence of brightness levels automatically restarts, allowing you to set a second level in the same manner as the first click set-up. This process can be repeated up to four times, but will stop when you quit making further selections, thus allowing your light to operate in 1-step, 2-step, 3-step,-or 4-step modes.

If in use, shown by green LED
Will not be signalised by a status LED

Center:
This setting activates the center LED to produce a low red light. The outer 6 LEDs will be disabled.

SOS:
The light will continue with SOS until the battery is empty. Use it carefully and only in case of a real emergency. Due to the lamp’s high light output, this signal is visible for several miles; the operating time is several hours. Misuse may be prosecuted!

Flash:
This mode is extremely irritating and may by no means be misused.

Double click:
If this function is activated, the lamp may only be switched on with a quick double click.
Useful for anybody who wants to avoid that the lamp is switched on accidentally in particular during transport (e. g. in a backpack).

Stealth:
In stealth mode, initialization, voltage display, and battery warning usually indicated by the button’s LEDs are partly deactivated. Of course “stealth on“ does not mean that our Betty TL Pro will no longer give light or will even become invisible, however, LED indications will be reduced to a minimum.

Police-Mode (Special-Mode):
In the Police-Mode, the lamp only lights up, while the button is kept pressed. The lamp stops shining at once, when you get off the button. To prevent an activation by mistake, this mode is chosen in a special way. Press the button 8 times quickly during 2.5 – 3 seconds. To change back to the standard mode, press the button again 8 times quickly.

Special Functions

Alternative Capacity Indicator (lamp head)

1. Before activating the alternative capacity indicator, your battery must be fully charged.
2. Press and hold the button until 2 green LEDs light up. release the button
3. The range of battery capacities you can choose from will start automatically.
4. You must approximate the correct range for your battery; e.g., for a 6.6Ah you would select 7 Ah (5 green LEDs).
   Similar to our Smartcore batteries the red LEDs on the lamp head will now approximately show the remaining capacity.

Attention! When the lamp-head is disconnected from a battery, the indicator will not work correctly until the battery is fully recharged

Example: 70% Remaining capacity = 3 red LEDs on, 1 red LED blinking

Adjusting backlight low-battery warning:
Use this program to adjust the onset of the low-battery warning.

1. Press and hold the button, until 3 green LEDs light up. release the button
2. The threshold can be selected as shown below.

Recover factory settings:

1. Press and hold the button, until 5 red LEDs turn on. release the button
2. Disconnect the battery, and all factory settings will be restored.

Accessories

1/4 Inch Adapter:
The adapter allows to mount the light on a tripod.
Use the screws which came with the adapter to connect it to the light. According to the long battery tank, we recommend a stable tripod.

Filter cap:
The special cap comes with an additional thread.
Thanks to the cap 55 mm filters, such as available as foto accessories can be used.

Cleaning:
Only clean the lamp when it is fully assembled. If required, use warm water and add some mild dishwashing detergent.

Transport:
Caution! Always separate the battery from the lamp!
Otherwise, the small amount of power used by the electronics will discharge the battery. Furthermore, the lamp may be switched on accidentally. The uncontrolled heat buildup could cause a fire or melt adjacent plastic material.

Storage:
When the lamp will not be used for a longer period of time, fully charge the battery and leave it connected to the charger. Choose a cool, dry place for storage (basement etc.).

Opening the lamp housing:
Note! The lamp housing may be opened for installing an upgrade kit or a lens.
Open the lamp housing’s front screw-on cover. Hold the rear of the lamp with one hand while rotating the front cover to the left (counterclockwise) with the other hand.
Once you have removed the cover, you will see the 7-array lens.
Please avoid touching the lenses directly.

Closing the lamp housing:
Check to ensure that the o-ring on the rear of the housing is correctly positioned. The housing will only be waterproof if its o-ring is intact. After completing this check, carefully screw down the housing cover. Important! The thread must always run smoothly, otherwise, screw off the cover again immediately and try again. The fine thread will not excuse any mishandling – therefore, be extremely careful! Fully screw down the cover.
