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.
Carry a spare light with you at all times, as the product can potentially fail unexpectedly at any time.
Defects:
Light source must be replaced in general if the light source (or one of the LEDs) is defective.
In the event of any physical or internal battery failure, do not attempt to repair.
No user-servicable parts!
Heat generation:
The housing of SL 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 via airflow or the like) is possible at any time and will not damage the product. 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 SL 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.
Cleaning:
Do not use a strong water jet or heavy detergent to clean the lamp.

Assembly Instructions

Assemble the quickrelease to the lamphead:
Position one o-ring between lamphead and quickrelease, and one o-ring between quickrelease and screw. Attachement to the handlebar : For a centric montage at 50mm stems: SL AF 50mm stem kit (Art. No.: 5355).For proper setup screw on the lever of the quick-release mount.
Position the SL centric at the handlebar. Now close the bracket of the quickrelease so the SL is mounted tight in its position.
Adjustment of the lamp:

Battery mounting

Battery type:
The battery is mounted with a velcro as shown here.
They also come with a capacity indictaor. Battery mounting:
Your battery is supplied with a velcro strap, coated with an anti-slip material to ensure a secure mount.
Use the strap which most closely matches your tube size.

Operation

Turn on:
The lamp will turn on automatically after connecting it with the battery. Depending on the ambient light, it starts lighting either with low beam or daytime running light.
Note: The light outputs the maximum amount of light only if airflow lowers the temperature of the light sufficiently. If the light is not cooled by airflow, its power is reduced incrementally to prevent the LEDs and electronic elements from overheating.
Light sensor:
The light sensor is positioned behind the lens and meassures the ambient light in a 5 sec. frequency as long as daytime running light is activated. This can be perceived visually. When it‘s dark enough, the light switches to low beam automatically.
Note: There‘s no sensor controlled switch from low beam to daytime running light.
Turn off:
To turn off the lamp, keep the big button of the remote control pressed for about 2 seconds.
Movement sensor:
To protect the button cell of the remote control from getting discharged too quickly, the sensor will cut the connection to the remote control, after not recognizing any movement for more than 5min. To connect it again, the sensor needs to recognize a strong movement.
Operation of the Bluetooth remote control: Small button:
– Short press: Activate low beam
– Keep it pressed for about 2 sec.: Activate daytime running light
– When high beam is activated: Switch to low beam is possible
Big button:
– When daytime running light is activated: Switch to low beam is possible
– When low beam is activated: Switch to high beam is possible
– When high beam is activated: Switch to low beam is possible
Customizing the settings at the lamphead:
Keep the small button pressed (let go to select) until the lamp lights up as many times you‘ll need it to.
Note: It will take about 6 sec. until the programming starts.

Keep the button pressed (let go to select) until lamp …| Available settings| Explanation
---|---|---
Lights up lx| ECO mode| High beam: 8W, Low beam: 5W
Daytime running light: 2W
Lights up 2x| Reset to factory settings
(High beam:14W, Low beam: 8W, Daytime running light: 2W)
Lights up 2x

Battery warning at the lamphead in operation:

third battery warning by pushing a button of the remote control once. Without the confirmation the lamp will be switched off automatically.

Reserve power:
After confirming the third battery warning, only daytime running light is available. When reserve power is completely discharged, the light will be switched off automatically, so slow down! Important: After the lamp was turned off automatically, please unplug the battery from the lamphead. Otherwise the connection will cause a deeply discharged battery.

Bluetooth remote control

The Bluetooth Remote comes together with the Peppi V5 barmount. On the bike, the best way to mount the remote is directly next to your grips so you have full control and don’t need to take off your hands while riding. Peppi V5 also available for 32mm, Art. No.: 1086 The „high beam symbol“ of the remote lights blue: High beam is activated.

Connecting the transmitter to the light:
By default, your lamp has already been connected to the transmitter.
For establishing a connection, the receiving mode of the lamp has to be activated.
After connecting the lamphead to the battery, the lamphead is in receiving mode for 15 seconds.
During this time, press the remote control’s big button for about 5 seconds, until the remote confirms by lighting up blue. Release the button immediately.
Low button cell:
With decreasing voltage, the remote control LEDs will shine less bright. Also cold temperature does reduce the battery voltage.
Transmitter battery change: To change the transmitter button cell a T5 star drive key is needed.
Insert the new CR 2032 button cell as shown and close the transmitter again.
Tighten the screws until the blue sealing is visibly squeezed.
T5 star drive key: (Art.No. 137)
Capacity indicator
Audible:
To check the capacity, simply press the touch-pad once. At first an audible signal will sound to give a quick reading in 20% steps. Visible:
The visible indicator uses 5 blue LEDs. The LEDs can operate in two different operating states: blinking and continuous. LED meanings:
A blinking LED is indicating a 10% step and a continuously glowing LED a 20% step.
Example:
3 LEDs steady glow (20 %, 40 %, 60 %)
1 LED blinking (80 %) = 70 % remaining capacity
Taillight:
To run the taillight simply press the touch pad two times and the 5 LEDs will operate continuously.
To switch off the taillight, simply press the pad again.
Moving light:
Press the touch pad three times to activate the moving light. To switch it off press the button another time.

Product Care, Storage and Charging

Product Care and Storage
Light:
After use in dirty areas clean the lamp and the cables externally with warm water and some mild detergent. Important! Because of the delicate sealings, we do not recommend to open the lamp. A leakage in consequence of opening the light is excluded from warranty! Before you try to repair something on your own get in touch with our helpful Service Team.
Transport:
Important: Always keep the battery separate from the light, because otherwise the small amount of power used by the electronics will discharge the battery, and the lamp may switch on accidently. Important! Moreover, the consequent uncontrolled heat buildup could cause a fire or melt the adjacent plastic material.
Battery:
If you intend not to use the lamp for a longer period of time, fully charge and store it at a cold and dry place.
Charging batteries:

1. Plug the included Wiesel charger into an outlet
2. Connect the charger to the battery, charging starts automatically the LED turns red
3. When the battery is fully charged the LED on charger turns green

Warning! This charger is to be used to charge rechargeable Li-Ion batteries only.
It is NOT suitable for charging NiMH batteries!
Do NOT use non-rechargeable batteries. – Risk of explosion!
This charger may be opened ONLY by the manufacturer!
