Using your Phad light
Phad 8
To switch on the light, the light head must be screwed down into the battery
pack or into the umbilical (if applicable). To switch off the light you can unscrew
the light head half a turn. SCUBAPRO Phad 8 light heads are equipped with an
undertension security to prevent deep discharge as deep discharge will cause
irreparable damage to rechargeable batteries.
As soon as the voltage of the Phad 8 battery packs gets too low, the Phad 8
light heads will be dimmed and set to the 'bring-me-home' mode. The 'bring-
me-home' mode will provide another 72 hours of dimmed light, powerfull
enough to read instruments and compass.
The Phad light heads are equipped with a PWM-module (Pulse
Width Modulation)
Pulse Width Modulation is controlled by a microprocessor which:
- enables a perfect battery management which also prevents damage by
deep discharge;
- controls the LED's at their maximum capacity without overload;
- protects the light head against overheating by constantly measuring the
temperature and by reducing the current when necessary;
- offers extra options such as dimming, SOS and strobe mode, ...
The Phad 8 light head features a Flood Proof Head
Flood Proof Head technology completely protects Electronic and LED bulb
from any damage due to accidental water or dust entry.
In case of flooding, just by rinsing the battery compartment and changing the
battery holder at low cost, your light is saved.
Using the dimmer in the Phad light head
At startup, your Phad light head will burn at 100%. When restarted within 5
seconds, the dimmer will reduce the output to 50%. When restarted after a
burn time of more than 5 seconds, the light head will start up at 100%.
Using the strobe mode in the Phad light head
When restarted within 5 seconds after reducing the output to 50%, the light
head will be set to strobe mode. When restarted, the light head will start up
at 100%.
Important
While burning, a dive light produces light as well as a certain amount of heat.
Extensive use of the light out of the water will prevent it from cooling down and
may result in overheating. The Phad 8 light heads however are equipped with
an overheat protection which will reduce the output when the temperature of
the light head gets too high.
