Lupine Sl X Bosch E-bike Front Light Instruction Manual

Safety instructions

Warning! Avoid looking directly into the light emitted by the light or shining the light into your own eyes or the eyes of another person. If the light accidentally shines into your eyes, close your eyes and move your head out of the light beam. Do not use any strongly focusing optical device to look at the light beam.In cases where the light is used in a public or commercial setting, users should be provided with training concerning the safety measures for laser light.This device may then be used by children 8 years of age or older, persons with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities, as well as persons with no previous experience in handling such devices, if they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety. Carry a spare light with you at all times, as the product can potentially fail unexpectedly at any time. Defects: Light source must be replaced in general if the light source (or one of the LEDs) is defective. In the event of any physical or internal battery failure, do not attempt to repair. No user-servicable parts! Heat generation: The housing of SL may heat up; so make sure that you always keep the light at a safe distance to any combustible or flammable materials. Could cause fire or death! However, quiescent operation (without cooling the light housing via airflow or the like) is possible at any time and will not damage the product. Always disconnect the battery from the light at transport or storage! Water resistance: All SL components are waterproof and can of course be used under extremely severe conditions. The lamp complies with IP protection class 68 but is NOT a diving lamp and is NOT suitable for use under water. Cleaning: Do not use a strong water jet or heavy detergent to clean the lamp.

Assembly Instructions

The quick release can be mounted on both sides, depending on the stem width.

For proper setup screw on the lever of the quick release mount.

When mounting the quick release, note the position of the O-rings. One O-ring should be between the holder and the lamphead and the other one between the holder and the screw.

Position the SL AX centric at the handlebar. Now close the bracket of the quick release so the SL is mounted tight in its position.

Important: The beam must be at least inclined so that its center is only half as high as 5 m away from the headlamp. For this, it may be necessary to adjust the inclination of the mounts.

1. Height of the light cone after 5m: Half height as outlet

Battery mounting

Battery type:

The battery is mounted with a velcro as shown here. They also come with a capacity indicator.

Battery mounting:

Your battery is supplied with a velcro strap, coated with an anti-slip material to ensure a secure mount. Use the strap which most closely matches your tube size.

Operation

Turn on:
With a short press on the button you can turn on the light. Depending on the ambient light, the SL starts lighting either with low beam or daytime running light. Note: Only in the dark when the low beam is activated, it’s possible to switch into high beam.

Turn off:
To turn off the lamp, keep the button pressed for about 2 seconds.
You can only turn off the lamp by pushing the big button of the remote control.

Movement sensor:

To protect the battery from getting discharged too quickly, the sensor will cut the connection to the remote control, after not recognizing any movement for more than 5min. To connect it again, the sensor needs to recognize a strong movement.

Light mode:

A brightness sensor automatically switches between daytime running light and low beam.

Daylight

Small button:
– Switch to low beam
(Press again to deactivate, sensor is not active)

Big button:
– Without function

Darkness / Night

Small button:
– With a short press: Low beam dims to 8W
(Not possible when ECO mode is activated)
– Keep it pressed for about 2 sec.:
Activate daytime running light
(Press again to deactivate, sensor is not active)

Big button:
– If low beam is activated, switching to high beam is possible.

Customizing the settings at the lamphead:

Keep the small button pressed (let go to select) until the lamp lights up as many times you’ll need it to. Note: It will take about 6 sec. until the programming starts.

Note: The light outputs the maximum amount of light only if airflow lowers the temperature of the light sufficiently. If the light is not cooled by airflow, its power is reduced incrementally to prevent the LEDs and electronic elements from overheating.

Lamphead informations

	At the remote:
	The “high beam symbol” of the remote lights blue	High beam is activated.

Battery warning at the lamphead in operation:

Operation Smartcore battery

Capacity indicator

Audible:
To check the capacity, simply press the touch-pad once. At first an audible signal will sound to give a quick reading in 20% steps.

5 x       =  100 %
4 x       =    80%
3 x       =    60%
2 x       =    40%
1 x       =    20%

Visible:
The visible indicator uses 5 red LEDs. The LEDs can operate in two different operating states: blinking and continuous. LED meanings:
A blinking LED is indicating a 10% step and a continuously glowing LED a 20% step.

Example: 3 LEDs steady glow (20 %, 40 %, 60 %)
1 LED blinking (80 %) = 70 % remaining capacity

Taillight:
To run the taillight simply press the touch pad two times and the 5 LEDs will operate continuously. To switch off the taillight, simply press the pad again.

Moving light:
Press the touch pad three times to activate the moving light. To switch it off press the button another time.

Bluetooth remote control

The Bluetooth Remote comes together with the Peppi V5 barmount. On the bike, the best way to mount the remote is directly next to your grips so you have full control and don’t need to take off your hands while riding.

 Peppi V5 also available for 32mm, Art. No.: 1086

Connecting the transmitter to the light:

By default, your lamp has already been connected to the transmitter.

For establishing a connection, the receiving mode of the lamp has to be activated.
After connecting the lamphead to the battery, the lamphead is in receiving mode for 15 seconds.

During this time, press the remote control’s big button for about 5 seconds, until the remote confirms by lighting up blue. Release the button immediately.

Low button cell:

With decreasing voltage, the remote control LEDs will shine less bright. Also cold temperature does reduce the battery voltage.

Transmitter battery change:

To change the transmitter button cell a T5 star drive key is needed.
Insert the new CR 2032 button cell as shown and close the transmitter again.
Tighten the screws until the blue sealing is visibly squeezed.

T5 star drive key: (Art.No. 137)

App

Lupine Light Control SL AX – für IOS und Android

With the new “Lupine Light Control SL AX” app you get many individual setups. Create custom profiles for your activities, and simply use them when you need them again. Besides the possibility to create your own profiles you can also change the sensitivity and delay of the lightsensor or activate the runtime monitor for your individual battery.

You can also control the light with your smartwatch or change the profile, and your smartphone doesn’t even need to be nearby.

Connecting with app:

For establishing a connection, the receiving mode of the lamp has to be activated, there are three different options to do that:

a) Connecting the lamphead with the battery
b) Turn the lamp on and off 3 times
c) Through a strong movement, after the lamp cut off the connection to the remote control

Then the lamp is in receiving mode the timeframe to connect with the App is 20 seconds.

Trailmode:

In the profile settings of the high beam, you can activate a special trail mode, which makes the beam pattern more diffuse for a better close range illumination.
