Before you start

Remove the battery LED emitter (A) and the accessories from the packaging.
Inspect the battery LED emitter (A) and the accessories for damage. If the battery LED emitter

(A) is damaged, do not use it.

Mounting

No tools are needed to mount the battery LED emitter (A). The battery LED emitter (A) is
delivered in two pieces (emitter with handle and stand). To start, you have to assemble them.
To do so, rotate the knurled screw (4) that secures the device for transport and is inserted on
the stand (5) counter-clockwise and remove it. Make sure not to lose the washer and the
retainer ring placed of the knurled screw (4) threaded pin. Next fold the mounting bracket
(3) downwards. Then insert the knurled screw (4) through the central bore hole of the

English - 7

Powerfix PLS 10 A1
mounting bracket (3) from the top into the thread of the stand (5) and rotate it clockwise (see
the figure). Tighten the knurled screw (4) so the mounting bracket (3) firmly fixes to the
stand (5).

Charging the battery

The DC-IN socket (8) is protected against humidity with a rubber cover (7). To release this
rubber cover (7), pull the red latch. Then connect the wall plug battery charger (B) charging
plug to the battery LED emitter (A) DC-IN socket (8), and connect the wall plug battery
charger (B) to an easy-accessible mains outlet. Before using the device for the first time, fully
charge the built-in Li-Ion battery. During charging, the charge indicator (6) lights red. When
the built-in Li-Ion battery is fully charged, the charge indicator (6) changes to green. Unplug
the wall plug battery charger (B) from the mains outlet and then disconnect the wall plug
battery charger (B) plug from the DC-IN socket (8). Close the DC-IN socket (8) with the
rubber cover (7). Now the battery LED emitter (A) is ready for use.

Note: If the charge indicator (6) flashes in red while using the battery LED emitter (A), the
built-in Li-Ion battery is almost empty. In this case, recharge the battery.

Getting started

You can use the two knurled screws (10) to adjust the vertical angle and therefore the beam
of the battery LED emitter (A). Release the knurled screws (10) by rotating them 360 degrees
counter-clockwise. Next adjust the vertical angle of the battery LED emitter (A) according to
your needs. Then tighten the two knurled screws (10).

Powerfix PLS 10 A1
Use the On/Off switch (9) to switch the battery LED emitter (A) on and off. The On/Off
switch (9) is protected against humidity with a rubber cover. You can recognize the position
of the On/Off switch (9) by looking at this rubber cover. In addition, the switch positions
(ON/OFF) are labelled.

12/24 V car charger cable

In addition to the wall plug battery charger (B) you can also charge the built-in Li-Ion battery
of your battery LED emitter (A) using the 12/24 V car charger cable (C) supplied. To release
this rubber cover (7), pull the red latch. Then connect the wall 12/24 V car charger cable
(C) charging plug to the battery LED emitter (A) DC-IN socket (8) and connect the 12/24 V
car charger cable (C) to a suitable 12/24 V vehicle cigarette lighter. The green LED
indicator on the 12/24 V car charger cable (C) plug indicates that it is ready for operation.
During charging the charge indicator (6) of the battery LED emitter (A) lights red. When the
built-in Li-Ion battery is fully charged, the charge indicator (6) changes to green. Unplug the
12/24 V car charger cable (C) from the vehicle cigarette lighter and then disconnect the
plug from the 12/24 V car charger cable (C) from the DC-IN socket (8). Close the DC-IN
socket (8) with the rubber cover (7). Now the battery LED emitter (A) is ready for use.

Replacing the fuse

If the 12/24 V car charger cable (C) is connected but the LED indicator of the 12/24 V car
charger cable (C) does not light, the fuse might be defective.

WARNING! If you need to replace the fuse, make sure to use a fuse
of the same type (see the Technical Specifications).

To replace the fuse, proceed as follows:
 Rotate the screw cap (d) counter-clockwise and remove it from the cigarette lighter plug

housing (a). If necessary, use a pliers.

 Replace the fuse (b) with a new fuse of the same type. You can purchase a suitable fuse

from any electronics retail outlet.

 First insert the fuse (b) into the cigarette lighter plug housing (a).
 Insert the metal contact (c) into the screw cap (d).
 Next insert the screw cap (d) with the inserted metal contact (c) over the fuse (b) and

then screw the cap (d) clockwise onto the cigarette lighter plug housing (a).

that may damage the plastic housing. For more stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth.

Troubleshooting

Battery LED emitter does not illuminate

 Check the position of the On/Off switch (9).
 The built-in battery may be discharged. Recharge it.

Battery does not charge

 The wall plug battery charger (B) is defective. Check if you can charge it with the 12/24 V

car charger cable (C).

 12/24 V car charger cable (C) defective. Verify if the green LED indicator on the 12/24 V

car charger cable (C) plug is on after inserting it into a powered cigarette lighter. If not,
replace the fuse of the 12/24 V car charger cable (C) as described in "Replacing the
fuse"
