PRECAUTIONS: See Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11
Before use, charge for 3 hours minimum.
Ensure torch lens ring and end cap are fully tight at all times. (Fig. 3)
Duration in High Power Mode
Duration in Low Power Mode
Deep discharge protection: Circuitry will automatically switch the
torch off once the battery reaches a pre-determined low voltage.
The torch must be re-charged before further use.
Emergency lighting mode: The emergency lighting function
switches the torch on when a power failure to the charger occurs.
The torch must be placed in the charger switched 'ON'.
Lamp Replacement: (See Figs 10, 11)
Fuse Replacement: (See Figs 7, 8)
Cleaning: Use a mild soap and water and soft brush only.
Do not immerse.
If torch fails to light or;
If indication on charge shows top and bottom indicators only:
A. Ensure torch lens ring and end cap are fully tight at all times. (Fig. 3)
B. Place on charge, check for indication, remove and switch on.
C. Replace bulb (R-30 only), clean charge rivets, check end cap is
fully tightened,
D. Remove cassette, inspect contacts, test continuity of the fuses,
replace as required (competent personnel only; see fig. 8).
E. Re fit cassette, repeat (A) and switch on.
The R-271 Battery utilises a two cell Lithium Ion system with a life of
up to 500 full charge/discharge cycles (to 70% original capacity), and
incorporates an integral encapsulated battery protection circuit.
Replace the R-271 Battery when the discharge duration is
significantly shorter than the durations shown above.
Recharge every six months when in storage.
Battery information: (Fig. 6). Extraction: (Fig. 7) Connections: (Fig. 9)
Wolf Chargers: RC-200 (12-24V) and RC-212: (12V) A red LED
indicator shows power to the charger. Charging is fully managed to
eliminate battery memory. Charge is removed once the battery is fully
charged, battery voltage is then monitored; a top-up charge is applied
as necessary (typically applying a trickle charge once every 7 days).
Charge Indication: (Fig. 16). Charger Connection Options: (Fig. 19)
The RC-200 and RC-212 are 'CE' marked in compliance with the
89/336/EEC EMC Directive, and comply with the requirements of
95/54/EC Automotive EMC Directive for use in emergency vehicles
(e11 marking).
– Do not charge in Hazardous Area.

– Charger operating ambient: +10
– Charger ingress protection IP20, protect from dirt and moisture.
– Do not cover ventilation slots.
Warning RC-452: risk of short circuit if polarity incorrect. (See Fig. 19)
