TECHNICAL PARAMETERS

Note:
According to the ANSI/PLATO FL1 standard, the above specifications are from the results produced by Fenix through its laboratory testing using the included Fenix ARB-L 18-3400 battery under the temperature of 21≤3°C and humidity of 50% – 80%. The true performance of this product may vary according to different working environments and the actual battery used.

The High output is measured in total runtime including output at reduced levels due to temperature or protection mechanism in the design.

• In white light mode, single click the warm white light switch to shift to the Eco output of warm white light mode.
• In warm white light mode, single click the white light switch to shift to the Low output of white light mode.

Lockout Function

Lock:
With the lamp switched off, simultaneously press and hold the two switches for 3 seconds, the lamp will blink 4 times on the Eco output of warm white light mode to indicate locked status.

Unlock:

• With the lamp locked, simultaneously press the two switches for 3 seconds, the lamp will be activated with 4 blinks and activates on the Eco output of warm white light mode.
• In locked status, clicking or pressing the switches will activate 4 blinks on the Eco output of warm white light mode to indicate locked status.
• When the charging cable is plugged in, the lamp unlocks automatically in switched-off status.

CHARGING

• Adjust the headlamp to reveal the charging port on the back. Uncover the anti-dust cap and plug the USB Type-C side of the charging cable into the charging port of the lamp.
• With the headlamp switched off, the normal charging time of the Fenix ARB-L18-3400 battery is about 3 hours from depleted to fully charged with a 5 V/2 A charging adapter. Only Low output of white light mode and Low output of warm white light mode can be operated while charging.
• Once charging is completed, be sure to close the anti-dust cover.

Single click once again the indicators) will go out immediately, or without any operation the indicator(s) will last for 3 seconds. Each time the light is turned on, the indicators) will show the battery level and will last for 3 seconds.

• Four lights on: 100% – 80%
• Three lights on: 80% – 60%
• Two lights on: 60% – 40%
• One light on: 40% – 20%
• One light flashes: 20% – 1%

BATTERY SPECIFICATIONS

18650 Li-ion batteries are powerful cells designed for commercial applications and must be treated with caution and handled with care. Only using quality batteries with circuit protection will reduce the potential for combustion or explosion, but cell damage or short-circuiting are potential risks the user assumes. Quality Li-ion battery with a protective circuit will reduce risks. A Fenix ARB-L18 Series battery is recommended.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Unscrew the battery cover anticlockwise to insert the battery with the anode side (+) towards the inner side, then screw the battery cover back on.

INTELLIGENT OVERHEAT PROTECTION

• The lamp will accumulate a lot of heat when used at high output levels for extended periods. When the lamp reaches a temperature of 60°C/140°F or above, it will automatically step down a few lumens to reduce the temperature.
• When the temperature drops below 60°C/140°F, the lamp will gradually recall the preset output level.

LOW VOLTAGE WARNING

• When the voltage level drops below the preset level, the headlamp is programmed to downshift to a lower brightness level until Eco output is reached.
• When this happens in Eco output, one of the battery level indicators blinks to remind you to timely recharge or replace the battery till the battery runs out.
• Note: This only works with a Fenix ARB-L18 Series battery.

HEADBAND ASSEMBLY

• Notice: The headband is factory-assembled by default.
• Rotate the dial clockwise to tighten the headband, and rotate the dial anticlockwise to loosen the headband. When the headband hits its maximum length, keep rotating the dial and the operation direction will reverse.

USAGE AND MAINTENANCE

• Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the lamp and will void the warranty.

• Fenix recommends using an excellent-quality battery.

• If the lamp will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery, or the lamp could be damaged by electrolyte leakage.

• Turn off and lock the lamp or take out the battery to prevent accidental activation during storage or transportation.

• Long-term use can result in O-ring wear. To maintain a proper water seal, replace the ring with an approved spare.

• Periodic cleaning of the battery contacts improves the lamp’s performance as dirty contacts may cause the lamp to flicker, shine intermittently, or even fail to illuminate for the following reasons:

  • A: The lamp is locked.
    Solution: Simultaneously press and hold the two switches for 3 seconds to unlock the lamp.

  • B: Poor battery level.
    Solution: Recharge or replace the battery (Ensure the battery is inserted according to the manufacturer’s specifications).

  • C: The threads, PCB board contact, or other contacts are dirty.
    Solution: Clean the contact points with a cotton swab soaked in rubbing alcohol. If the above methods don’t work, please contact the distributor.
