Brightness Control

In standby mode, press brightness button to cycle through the brightness settings. There are 6 brightness levels and the centre LED will flash to indicate chosen level.

Syncing Lamp to Alarms

In standby mode press the S-button to cycle through the 6 colour channels, red / green / blue / yellow / purple / white. (Bright LED = channel free, Low LED = channel in use) In order to pair an alarm the channel must be free (see step 2 below otherwise move to step 3)

To erase a paired channel use the S-button to select the channel. Next press and hold the S-button until the LED changes from low to high brightness.

To quickly erase all channels Press and hold the S-button for a longer time until the centre LED flashes multiple colours.

When the chosen channel is selected and free, activate the required alarm head by rotating the roller wheel. The lamp will illuminate to indicate that the pairing is complete.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 to sync other alarm heads on the lamp if required.

The lamp will return to normal standby mode once the set delay time has elapsed.

Setting the light delay time (Latching Time)

After activation by an alarm head the lamp illumination time can be set. In standby mode, press delay time button to cycle through the delay time settings. The centre blue indicator LED will illuminate to show the mode selected. There are 6 levels. For levels 1-2-3 the lamp will flash for 5-10-20 seconds respectively. For levels 4-5-6 the lamp will be constant for 5-10-20 seconds respectively. 

Functions in Use

When activated by an alarm head the SKS Bivvy Lamp will replicate the alarm head activation. The brightness and delay time will be as selected by the user. After activation, the lamp will return to standby mode. The lamp will remember its channel, colour, brightness and delay settings even if the battery is disconnected or removed.

Low Battery Warning

The unit will auto detect the battery voltage in standby mode. Once a low voltage is detected the lamp will flash a red LED at intervals of 1 minute until the battery is replaced.

Notes

Each main receiver will only respond to paired transmitters.

To save battery life; the lamp should be powered off when not in use. Please remove the battery when unit is not being used for extended periods of time.

Use of good quality alkaline batteries is recommended for best performance.
