Charger Unit C-251 for H-251 Mk1

This ‘Wolflite’ Battery Charger is ‘CE’ marked as compliant with Low Voltage and EMC Directives. Before connecting to the mains ensure the correct voltage is selected and the battery is in the charger, the indicators will show the state of battery charge and charger mode. 90% capacity is achieved in 4/5 hours. The charger indicators will suffer from electro-magnetic interference when sited less than five metres from sources emitting at the following frequencies: 103-115MHz, 117-119MHz, 126-136MHz.

Charging ‘Wolflite’ Handlamps H-251 Mk2 and H-251E

The battery is charged within the lamp body. The H-251 Mk2 Handlamp switch must be in the ‘OFF’ position when on charge. The H-251E can be switched ‘ON’ when charging, the lamp is then set for stand-by power failure mode and will automatically illuminate should power to the charger be cut. Indicators show the state of charge of the battery. Red only indicates the Lamp has not made correct contact, the Lamp must be pushed firmly until latched in position.

Lamp Chargers for H-251 Mk2 and H-251E

Two types of Lamp Chargers are available – HIGH VOLTAGE and LOW VOLTAGE, to suit fixed or mobile applications. The chargers are ‘CE’ marked as compliant with Low Voltage and EMC Directives.

Wolflite Charger C-251HVis for mains AC input voltages of 200-240 volts at 50-60 Hz (Off-shore platform voltages of 254 volts at 60 Hz), user switchable to 100-120 volts at 50-60 Hz. Failure to select the correct voltage may cause damage. Charger achieves 90% recharge in 6/7 hours. Only fit manufacturer’s specified fuse. Chargers are fitted with Approved plugs, refer to sales literature for details. Wolflite Charger C-251LVis suitable for use from DC supplies of 12 to 32 volts. A full recharge from a 12 volt supply takes 20/24 hours, but from a 24 volt supply 10/12 hours. The two-core flex is red, positive and black, negative.

Both chargers are fully automatic, stepping to a safe trickle charge level after the main charge is completed.

NOTE: A fully discharged battery must be charged immediately to avoid damage.

The charger contacts are of low voltage output and short circuit protected.

Charger operating ambient: +10°C to +25°C.
