Important Warnings

• Read this manual carefully before diving with the HP50 Lighting System.

You should fully understand how this dive light works and that you are proficient in its use prior to diving.

• The HP50 Lighting System is an electronic device and electronic devices

can fail. NEVER dive this light without at least two back up lights.

• The canister batteries are O-ring sealed in the canister with sealed

connectors. Do not try to remove the batteries. The light is stored with the batteries in the canister.

• Do not keep the canister lid plugged into the battery in the activated

position when not in use. The lid can be turned 180 degrees and reinstalled for transport and storage. The battery is not connected to the light in this position to prevent accidental activation. With the lid installed in this position the internal battery packs also remain disconnected from each other.

• Before using your HP50 Lighting System it is extremely important that

you read and understand each warning, as well as warnings and cautions that appear throughout the manual. Failure to do so could result in damage to or loss of equipment, serious personal injury, or death.

• Before diving, you should have the proper training from a qualified

instructor and obtain certification from a recognized training agency.

• DO NOT USE THE HP50 LIGHT OUT OF WATER. Brief operation to check

functionality is OK, however the light head can get extremely hot and cause burns if used out of the water for extended periods.

Charging & Maintaining the Battery

The best way to keep your batteries in good shape so that they perform well on every dive is to follow the battery maintenance procedures below. Before using your light, make sure that the batteries are fully charged.

Charging the Canister Battery

1. Open the latches on the sides of the canister and remove the canister

lid.

2. Plug the three (3) red connectors on the Smart Charger into the three

(3) red (+) battery receptacles on the battery pack. It does not matter which plug connects to which socket.

3. Plug the black connector on the Smart Charger into the center black (-)

battery receptacle on the battery back.

4. Plug the Smart Charger into a wall outlet.

5. Charging will not begin if the Smart Charger detects a missing battery or

reversed connections.

6. Allow the battery to fully charge.

It can take up to eight hours for the battery to charge. The red LED on the charger indicates that the battery is charging. A green LED indicates when the battery is fully charged.

7. Disconnect the battery once it is fully charged and unplug the Smart

Charger from the wall outlet.

Charging the Handheld Batteries

1. Unscrew and remove the battery tube from the light head.

2. Remove the battery carrier from the battery tube.

3. Remove the individual 18650 batteries from the battery carrier.

4. Insert the batteries into the charger. (See included charger manual for

specific details relating to the charger.)

5. Plug the charger into a wall outlet.

6. Allow the batteries to fully charge.

It can take up to 12 hours for the batteries to charge from a full discharge. The LEDs on the charger will blink to indicate that the battery is charging. The battery is fully charged when all of the LEDs are lit solidly.

Maintaining the Batteries

• Store the batteries at room temperature and away from moisture.

• Ideally, store batteries in a 30-50% charge condition to maximize life.

• The canister battery is O-ring sealed in the canister to prevent any

moisture from contacting the cells and should not be removed. The battery does not have to be removed when storing the light.

• Before every use, charge the battery completely.

• Do not plug the light head into the battery when not in use. The

canister lid can be turned 180 degrees and reinstalled for transport and storage. The battery is not connected to the light in this position to prevent accidental activation.

Installing the Batteries

The HP50 Lighting System can be powered by either four 18650 batteries in the handheld battery tube, or using the canister battery adapter.

Installing the Handheld Batteries

1. Install the four individual 18650 batteries into the battery carrier lining

up the plus (+) and minus(-) indications on the batteries and the carrier.

2. Slide the battery carrier into the battery body tube with the contact

rings facing out.

Page 12

www.diverite.com

3. Inspect the two O-rings on the light head. Make sure they are clean

and undamaged.

4. Screw the battery body tube onto the light head.

Installing the Canister Battery

1. Inspect the two O-rings on the light head. Make sure they are clean and

undamaged.

2. Screw the canister adapter onto the light head.

3. Check that the red O-ring is installed on the canister lid and that the O-

ring is clean and not damaged.

There is no need to lubricate this O-ring. Lubrication can attract dirt which prevents proper sealing.

4. Install the battery lid onto the battery canister so that the four banana

plug pins align with the black and red plug sockets on the battery.

Close both latches on the side of the battery canister simultaneously to evenly seal the O-ring and lock the lid in place. Pull on each latch to make sure it is locked.

Mounting the Canister

With the on/off activation of the light being on the light head, you can mount the canister to any location you desire on your diving system configuration. You don’t need to be able to reach a switch on the canister.

The HP50 canister comes with the Quick Belt Mount for mounting it to the waist belt of your harness or backplate.

Mounting the Canister

1. Remove the Quick Mount elastic band from the canister by pulling the

band over the bottom of the canister.

2. Slip the elastic band around your waist belt or other strap on your rig.

3. Stretch the elastic band back over the bottom of the canister.

The light is now securely placed on your waist belt or other location.

hand.

4. Tuck the excess elastic strap into the retainers.

Hand Mount Attachment

The HP50 light head can be attached to the hand mount with it on or off of your hand. The light mount is spring-loaded to hold the light in place, and makes it easy to attach and remove the light.

Right Hand Attachment

1. Line up the clip on the base of the light head with the receiver on the

hand mount.

2. Slip the front of the striker plate on the light head under the front bar

of the receiver on the hand mount.

4. If the light is turned off for more than three seconds it will start back in

High mode when turned on again.

Care, Maintenance, and Storage

With proper care and service, your HP50 Lighting System can provide you with years of safe, enjoyable use. Without proper care, your HP50 can become damaged and be either unserviceable or dangerous to use.

• Prior to taking the light underwater, ensure that all O-rings and latches

are secure. Thoroughly inspecting your light prior to the dive minimizes the risk of flooding the light. Most floods are caused by missing or damaged O-rings or unlocked latches. The cord should also be inspected for any cuts or damage. Cuts in the cord can allow water to flood the light.

• Inspect the light head and canister for any water leakage or other

damage.

Page 18

www.diverite.com

• Always rinse the light and hand mount thoroughly in fresh water after

use in saltwater.

• The canister lid can be removed, rotated 180 degrees and reinstalled

with the power plugs oriented into the blank holes in the battery lid for storage and transportation. This prevents accidental activation of the light. Always switch the lid to the travel position after every dive to prevent accidental turn on. The light head will get extremely hot if turned on out of the water and can cause damage to other equipment and injury to the user.

• Store the light in a cool and dry environment.

• Always charge the batteries following the instructions provided.

• The two head O-rings should be kept clean and lubricated with a light

coating of silicone grease and replaced annually. See your Authorized Dive Rite dealer for replacement O-rings. (Dive Rite P/N RP9992-RED)

• The battery canister lid O-ring should NOT be greased. It should be kept

clean and wiped down between dives. This O-ring should also be replaced annually. (Dive Rite P/N LT6015-RED)

Dealing With a Flooded Light

If your light floods, there are a few things you need to do:

• Do not continue to use the light.

• Turn the light off and disconnect the light head from the battery pack

as soon as possible. If there is any water in the battery canister, drain the water and allow it to dry. DO NOT REINSTALL THE CANISTER LID. Storing a damaged or flooded battery inside of a sealed canister can lead to an explosion.

Page 19

www.diverite.com

• DO NOT TAKE THE LIGHT APART.

• Arrange with your dealer to return the light to Dive Rite for repair.

Flooding damage cannot be fixed or corrected in the field. Attempting to repair the light in the field voids your warranty.
