Products

When performing fluorescent integrity inspections of marine coatings in very large area environments

such as water tanks, a powerful light source is required. But conventional UItraViolet sources can be

extremely hazardous to eyes and skin. Now there is a safer alternative, the Xenopus Electronix 405nm

Deep Purple Inspection Lantern. With six high-flux LEDs, this rugged hand-held unit provides the smooth

beam image and extended range you need for this specialized application. Made especially for Flash-

lights Unlimited, the new XE-405M lantern may also be appropriate for other applications, in situations

where a suitable fluorescent response can be achieved with the longer and less dangerous 405nm peak

wavelength. Cooler running and lighter in weight than hot and heavy high-intensity UV lamps. The

universal rechargeable design provides convenient cordless operation, while reducing operating costs.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION !

1. Fully read and understand this instruction guide before operating

your new lantern. Retain this guide for future reference and support.

2. Do not operate or charge the lantern in rain or in wet locations.

3. The lantern is splash-resistant, but do not immerse in any liquid.

4. Keep the lantern away from children. This instrument is not a toy.

5. The lantern emits extremely intense light. DO NOT look directly

into the beam during operation, and avoid strong beam reflections.

6. Fully charge the new lantern before using it for the first time.

7. Recharge the lantern after each use, or once every sixty days. See

the operating instructions which follow for proper charging technique.

8. The lantern contains a sealed lead acid rechargeable battery that

must be disposed of properly at its end of life. To locate a nearby

battery recycling center, please call (toll free) 1-877-2-RECYCLE.

9. Do not drop the lantern, as damage to the lens or other elements may

occur. Do not attempt to operate or charge the lantern if it is damaged.

10. Contact Flashlights Unlimited for technical assistance or to acquire

replacement parts or service. Call 1-770-446-7561 or fax 1-770-446-7604,

or visit our Feedback web page at flashlightsunlimited.com/feedback.htm.

OPERATION

A push-button trigger switch, located near the top of the pistol grip handle, controls the

operation of the purple and white beams. Push and hold the switch once to start the lantern

in purple low-beam mode (with three of the 405nm LEDs activated). Release the trigger, and

then press and hold it again to start the lantern in purple high-beam mode (with all six

405nm LEDs activated). Release the trigger, and then press and hold it a third time to start

the lantern in white high-beam mode (with only the ultra-high-flux white LED activated). The

primary purple beam can be continuously operated for up to 90 minutes on high beam, or up to

three hours on low beam, from a full battery charge. The secondary white beam can be operated

for up to 3 hours from a full battery charge. A small lever located near the trigger can be

pushed upwards with the thumb while the trigger is depressed, this will lock the switch for

continuous operation in the currently selected mode. Slide the locking lever back down to

release the trigger and turn off the lantern. The locking lever can also be applied with the

trigger off, to prevent accidental actuation during transport. Never operate the lantern

during charging. The purple beam will begin to flash intermittently when the battery charge

is depleted. Immediately turn off the lantern and fully recharge it, to avoid reducing the

operating life of the rechargeable battery (do not wait until the LEDs shut down completely).

CHARGING

DO NOT attempt to operate the lantern during charging. The lantern has two input ports for

charging power. Never use more than one of these two recharging ports at any one time, doing

so will damage the lantern and void the warranty. Whenever possible, use the universal smart

charger module to recharge the lantern, this method will be several hours faster than slow

charging. First plug the smart charger module into an appropriate power outlet (from 100VAC

to 240VAC, at 50Hz or 60Hz line frequency), and watch for the green indicator light on the

module. Next plug the charger power cord into the small port on the underside of the lantern

near the switch trigger, and watch for the indicator light on the module to turn red. When

the indicator light turns green again (typically within less than three hours) the lantern

is fully recharged, and you can remove the charger cord from the lantern and then the power

cord from the wall outlet. If the smart charger module becomes lost or damaged, the lantern

can instead be charged from the internal slow charger port, which is located on the back of

the lantern housing under a protective rubber cover. A cord is not provided for this, use a

UL-approved two-prong or three-prong power cord, and attach it only to a 120VAC 60Hz

linepower outlet (use of any other voltage will damage the lantern and void the warranty).

A red indicator located at the top rear of the lantern housing will light when the unit is

charging. When the battery has been fully recharged, the red indicator light will flash. The

battery cannot be overcharged by the internal circuitry, and no damage will occur if the

unit is left charging for an extended period. Unplug the cord and replace the protective

cover on the 120VAC port when charging is done, to prevent the intrusion of dirt or moisture.

CASE CLEANING

Over time, dirt and fingerprints may accumulate on the lantern. If necessary, clean the

lantern with a soft clean oil-free cloth moistened with household window cleaner. Do not use

any strong solvent based cleaners on the plastic surfaces, as this may damage the finishes.

Do not allow liquids of any kind to enter the lantern through switch or power port openings.

BATTERY CARE

Lead-acid batteries require recharging on a regular basis, to maintain a full charge and to

ensure good battery life. All lead-acid batteries will self-discharge over time, and this

happens more rapidly when they are stored at higher temperatures. Therefore, these types of

batteries need periodic charging to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When the

lantern is not in use, its battery should be recharged at least every once every sixty days.

The battery should also be recharged as soon as possible after each use. If the battery

remains in a discharged state, its useful life will be significantly reduced. Recharging the

battery after each use will prolong its life; frequent heavy discharges between recharges

will reduce battery life. The battery cannot be overcharged, so there will be no damage from

extended charging cycles. The time required to fully recharge the battery depends upon the

discharge status of the battery after use or storage, and upon which charging port is used.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The battery should be replaced when it will not hold a charge or power the lantern. The

rechargeable battery can be replaced only by skilled technical personnel. Complete disassembly

of the lantern housing is required, and this should never be attempted by users who are not

well-skilled in electrical and mechanical assembly procedures. You can return your lantern

to the factory for battery replacement, for a flat-rate fee that includes return shipping

costs. Always disconnect the charger power cordsfrom both the lantern and power outlets

before disassembling the lantern. You will need the proprietary 6-volt, 3-ampere-hour

sealed-lead-acid replacement battery, plus a Phillips blade screwdriver (number 1 size).

No soldering is required, but some other tools, such as needle-nosed pliers, may be helpful.

Note that if you damage any part of the lantern, it will be necessary to return it to the

factory, and additional service fees will be applied, depending upon the extent of damage.

BATTERY RECYCLING

The non-spillable Sealed-Lead-Acid (SLA) battery is fully recyclable, and can be taken to

any location that accepts common automotive starter batteries for recycling. Examples of

places that accept these batteries are: county or municipal recycling drop-off centers,

scrap metal dealers, and retailers who sell automotive batteries. To locate your nearest

battery recycling center, please call (toll free) 1-877-2-RECYCLE. Do not dispose of the

battery in fire (as this could result in an explosion). Before recycling the old battery,

protect its exposed terminals with heavy-duty electrical tape to prevent a short circuit (as

this may result in injury or fire). Do not discard the battery with household trash; failure

to comply with local, state, or federal regulations may result in fines and/or imprisonment.
