Technical Information PCS v3.3

1.) READ BEFORE USE!

General:

Congratulations! You have just bought a state-of-the-art lighting system.
Out of the box, the light and charger are ready to use! Please read this instruction manual
fully, to familiarise yourself with all the functions. Try out the system at home first, before
hitting the trails to prevent any surprises while riding. For further details about using the
Nightmare Pro to individual settings please read "Technical Informations PCS V3.3".

As with any other electrical device, there is a slight chance of failure at any time. Be aware,
and use with caution.

Lupine accepts no liability for any injuries or other damages arising from the use of this
product.

Rechargeable Battery:

The battery is supplied with a little amount of charge. Before use it must be fully charged
(see chapter 4 "Charging"). The rechargeable Li-Ion battery will reach its full power after 1
charge cycles.

It might become hot!

The Nightmare Pro is not a simple torch. The lamp housing can become very hot, if used
without airflow. Do not touch the lamp during or immediately after use.

Dazzling:

The Nightmare Pro is a powerful lighting system. Always use it with care and with respect for
others (especially when mounted to a helmet). Do not look directly into the light.

Waterproof?

All components of the Nightmare Pro are waterproof and will withstand even the most extreme
conditions. However it is not a diving lamp and is not suitable for use under water.

Warranty:

The 2 year warranty covers only defects in materials or workmanship. Bulbs and batteries are
not covered by this warranty. Modifications to the light or improper use also voids this
warranty.

2.) MOUNTING

Lamp:

Mounting the lamp with the O - ring :
If you are feeling strong, use the finger hook method (see fig.1). For others, who prefer the
less strenuous method, hold the O-ring with one finger, and push the lamp back until the O­ring can be secured on the hook of the lamp. (fig.2)

PCS v3.3 switch :

The PCS v3.3 is designed for use on the right hand side of the lamp (see fig.3). Before
attaching the velcro strip to the handle bar, ensure that the surface is free of dirt and oil. The
velcro strip should be applied at room temperature, colder temperatures will cause the
adhesive not to work.
For applying the O-Ring to fix the switch to the handlebar see the separate information sheet
"Technical Information PCS v3.3".

An optional upgrade mounting bracket is also available for the switch (Peppi V3).

Battery:

Slide the battery bottle into the cage and loop the Velcro strap around the cage and bottle.
Make sure that the battery cables are routed in such a way that they will not become tangled
in any moving parts.

Now plug the rechargeable battery to the lamp and your NightMare Pro is ready to go.

Adjusting the cable length:

Some spare length of cable is retained into the top of the battery bottle. Open the bottle (see
"Opening the bottle" in chapter "Care and storage"), unscrew the cable inlet and adjust the
cable length. Close the bottle and tighten the cable screw again.
Caution! Adjusting the length of the cable with the bottle closed might damage the cable
connections at the battery!

3.) USING THE LIGHT

Initialising:

Plug the lamp to the fully charged battery. The software of the PCS remote controller will do a
self test (signalled by 2 x short flashes of three of its LEDs ).

The Nightmare Pro is ready to work now. (for more details see: "Technical Information PCS
v3.3")

Switching on:

Pressing the switch turns the lamp on. It will operate on high beam. (signalled by the blue LED
on the switch).

Dimming:

Pressing the button once, after the light has stablised, will switch the light to econo mode
(the blue LED is off). By pressing the button again the light will return to high beam mode.

Switching off:

Press and hold the button for 2 seconds until the light switches off.

Controlling the remaining light time:

The electronics of the PCS v3.3 not only control the high and low beam but also protect the
rechargeable battery against over-discharge and includes a low battery indicator.

Low battery is signalled by the yellow and the red LEDs.
When the yellow LED lights: Significant amount of the capacity is gone!

Red and yellow LEDs lights: Light will automatically switch off
in a few minutes!
