1. PRODUCT NAME

Hitachi Cordless Lantern, Model UB 18DSL

2. MARKETING OBJECTIVE

The Model UB 18DSL is a fluorescent lantern that works on Hitachi BSL 14 series batteries.

3. APPLICATIONS

For construction work, outdoor use, etc.

4. SELLING POINTS

LED small light

Usable for 150 hours as an all-night

light (when using a 3-Ah battery).

Holes for attaching a strap

The handle has holes to attach a

user's strap.

Detachable reflector

For increased brightness and

prevention of backward glare

Automatic LED switching

function

It automatically switches lighting

from fluorescent lamp to LED

when the battery is discharged.

* When the battery remaining

power is nearly empty, the

overdischarge protection

circuit may prevent the LED

from lighting.

14.4-V slide-type lithium-ion

battery is attachable.

Rotary hooked handle

It can be hung on a single pipe 48.6

mm in diameter, and locked in eight

positions in increments of 45°. It is

also possible to lock the lantern

upside down.

NOTE: The battery is sold separately.

4-1. Selling Point Descriptions

4-1-1. Rotary hooked handle

The Model UB 18DSL has a hooked handle. It can be hung on a pipe up to 50 mm (2 inches) in

diameter and locked in eight positions in increments of 45°.

(Locking position: 0°, 45°, 90°, 135°, 180°, 225°, 270°, 315°)

NOTE: When hanging the Model UB 18DSL on a pipe 30 mm (1-3/16 inches) or more in diameter,

turn the handle to any position other than the 0° position and then hang it on the pipe. It is

impossible to hang the Model UB 18DSL on a pipe 30 mm (1-3/16 inches) or more in

diameter when the handle is in the 0° position because the lamp cover contacts such a

pipe in the 0° position.

4-1-2. Detachable reflector

The Model UB 18DSL is equipped with the reflector to increase brightness and to prevent

backward glare. Use the Model UB 18DSL by detaching the reflector depending on applications.

4-1-3. Holes for attaching a strap

There are two holes for attaching a user's strap at both sides of the upper portion of the handle.

4-1-4. LED small light

The Model UB 18DSL has a white LED that can be operated for about 150 hours when using a

fully charged 3.0 Ah battery. The LED can be lit for a long time because it consumes low power

while it has high directivity. The Model UB 18DSL is convenient as an all-night light if so bright

light is not required.

* The LED will be dim by the overdischarge protection circuit of the lithium-ion battery if the battery

is nearly discharged.

4-1-5. Automatic LED switching function

The Model UB 18DSL automatically switches lighting from fluorescent lamp to LED when the

battery voltage is decreased to about 14 V to prevent from being extinguished suddenly.

* When switched automatically from fluorescent lamp to LED, please charge the battery

because the remaining battery level is low.

5-2. Specification Descriptions

5-2-1. Brightness

The brightness depends on the ambient temperature. The light may be dim if the ambient

temperature is extremely low.

5-2-2. Continuous operating time

Continuous operating time means the continuous lighting time when using a fully charged battery.

It varies in accordance with the frequency of use, battery capacity and other factors. Accordingly,

the continuous operating time values in the above table are intended for reference purposes only.

5-2-3. Specification of fluorescent lamp

The Model UB 18DSL is equipped with a natural (EX-D), compact fluorescent lamp equivalent to

FPL 9W. Use the fluorescent lamp specifically designed for the Model UB 18DSL (code number

323339, model FPL9 EX-D).

5-2-4. Automatic LED switching function

A fluorescent lamp extinguishes suddenly if the battery voltage becomes low. To prevent this, the

Model UB 18DSL automatically switches lighting from fluorescent lamp to LED when the battery

voltage is decreased to about 14 V. Please turn the switch off and charge or replace the battery

immediately.

The LED will be also dim by the overdischarge protection circuit of the lithium-ion battery if the

battery voltage becomes 10 V.

5-2-5. 14.4-V slide-type lithium-ion battery (sold separately) is applicable.

The Type BSL 1430 lithium-ion battery is equipped with the overdischarge protection circuit,

overload protection circuit, and voltage monitoring circuit for each cell to prevent shortening of the

battery life due to overdischarge (overuse) or overcharge (excessive charging) of the battery.

The number of charging/discharging is about 1,500.

Precautions for use of the Type BSL 1430 lithium-ion battery

The Type BSL 1430 lithium-ion battery is equipped with a protective function that automatically

stops output to extend the battery life. The LED may dim automatically when the battery voltage

becomes 10 V even if the switch is set “LED.” This is because the protective function is activated.

The battery is not faulty.

Please instruct the customers on the above precautions.

6. PRECAUTIONS IN SALES PROMOTION (SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS)

In the interest of promoting the safest and most efficient use of the Model UB 18DSL Cordless

Lantern by all of our customers, it is very important that at the time of sale the salesperson

carefully ensures that the buyer seriously recognizes the importance of the contents of the

Handling Instructions, and fully understands the precautions.

• Handling Instructions

(1) Do not touch the fluorescent lamp while it is lighting or immediately after turning

off to avoid burns.

The fluorescent lamp is very hot while it is lighting or immediately after turning off. Wait

until the fluorescent lamp has cooled down before replacing the fluorescent lamp.

(2) To prevent personal injury due to accidental falling, secure the Model UB 18DSL

with a band when hanging at a high place.

If there is a danger that the Model UB 18DSL may fall from a high place, secure the

handle and the pipe with a band tightly. Personal injury may occur if the Model

UB 18DSL falls from a high place.

(3) Always turn the switch off before replacing the fluorescent lamp or when not in

use.

Otherwise, the service life of the fluorescent lamp may be shortened and short circuit

may be caused. If the Model UB 18DSL is left for a long time with the switch turned on

and the battery installed, the service life of the battery may also be shortened due to

overdischarge.

(4) Do not use the Model UB 18DSL in the rain.

The Model UB 18DSL is not water-resistant and a failure may be caused if it gets wet.

(5) Do not shock or disassemble the Model UB 18DSL.

Otherwise, inside soldering may fall off and the fluorescent lamp may be broken.

(6) Do not allow the Model UB 18DSL to contact gasoline, thinner, etc.

The outer frame may be damaged by gasoline, thinner, etc. although it is made of strong

synthetic resin.

(7) Do not leave the Model UB 18DSL in very hot locations exceeding 60° (140°F)

such as the inside of a car in summer. Leaving the Model UB 18DSL in such

locations may cause a failure.

(8) Do not use any battery other than the specified batteries.

The Model UB 18DSL works on 14.4 V and 18 V slide-type lithium-ion batteries only. Do

not use any other battery.

(9) Do not use the Model UB 18DSL with the lamp cap removed.

Otherwise, the fluorescent lamp may be broken.

Others

Store the Model UB 18DSL in a dry place at temperature 40°C (104°F) or less. Remove the

battery from the Model UB 18DSL before storage.
