1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on purchasing VectorLiteTM Model VEC120, an advanced design

dual-bulb 3,000,000 candlepower spotlight and long lasting, area work light. It uses

two powerful, proven-technology, rechargeable, non-spillable, sealed, lead acid bat-

teries that allow for years of dependable use, recharge after recharge. It was designed

from the ground up to be the most versatile and practical light for travel, camping,

picnicking, tailgate parties and boating. The spotlight gives you the kind of light you

need, when and where you need it.

Extremely rugged construction protects the unit from damage from most vibration and

shock. It is water and dust resistant. (See Figure 1)

The area worklight assembly flips up to provide a ultra bright area light. A 12 volt

accessory socket allows powering any DC appliance that does not exceed 10 amps.

To power an appliance, flip up the accessory outlet cover and insert the DC plug. After

use, close the cover.

Two recharge adapters are supplied with the spotlight. It can be recharged from any

110/120 volt 60 Hz AC receptacle. It can also be recharged and powered from a 12

volt DC accessory socket. This permits recharge flexibility for use around home, busi-

ness or in the field. 12 volt DC power is available from most vehicles, boats, jump

starters and portable battery packs. Vector has a variety of portable power products

that would make ideal companions.

17. Secure retainer with two Phillips screws.

18. Replace rubber bezel by sliding to the rear of the spotlight.

19. Operate switches to ensure proper operation of spotlight.

REPLACING THE BATTERIES

The rechargeable, sealed, lead acid batteries have a life of several years, if

recharged promptly after each use. When the fully charged batteries only provide

about 10 minutes or less of spotlight operation, they should be replaced with new

batteries. To replace the batteries, you will need a Phillips type screwdriver and

replacement batteries Vector Part VEC191. The batteries are in compartments

referred to as upper and lower. Because of spotlight construction, there are two pro-

cedures: upper battery replacement, and lower battery replacement. Both batteries

are wired in series so they should be replaced at the same time. DO NOT MIX BAT-

TERY TYPES, OR NEW AND OLD BATTERIES.

The upper battery is replaced as follows:

1. Remove the six Phillips screws (clockwise) that fasten the plastic end cap. See

Figure 2 for locations.

3. Remove the upper end cap from the body.

4. Note, the battery can slide out of the body, so keep the body level.

5. The battery terminals are attached to two wires. These wires must be disconnected

from the terminals of the battery.

WARNINGS: DO NOT ALLOW BARE WIRES OR CONNECTORS TO CONTACT EACH

OTHER. DANGEROUS SPARKING CAN OCCUR - NOTE WHICH WIRES

ARE ON THE BATTERY TERMINALS

6. Note polarity of battery. Note which wire is on which terminal.

7. Disconnect the wires from the battery, and set the battery aside.

8. Connect the replacement battery, making sure the correct wires are on the new

battery terminals. Make sure POS (+) is red and NEG (-) is black.

CAUTION: Incorrectly connected wires will not allow the spotlight to operate or

recharge. Incorrect battery polarity will damage the circuits inside the

spotlight. Double check battery polarity before reassembly!

9. Replace battery compartment end cap. Make sure wires are not crushed.

10. Replace four Phillips screws in battery compartment cover. Do not over-tighten.

The lower battery pack can be replaced by following the upper battery replacement

procedure except there are only two Phillips screws to be removed.

After the lower battery is replaced and the lower end cap secured, recharge for 10-

12 hours using the AC recharge adapter before using the spotlight.

2. Connect the DC charger to a 12 volt DC source that can supply at least 15 amps

of current.

3. Plug the DC charger’s polarized connecter into the DC recharge port.

4. Recharge for 10-12 hours maximum or until the green LED lights when the battery

status display pushbutton is pressed.

5. After recharge, disconnect the adapter from the external charging/power source,

then disconnect the connector from the DC recharge port.

Note: Some vehicles must have the ignition switch on to power the vehicle

accessory outlet.

WARNING: NEVER SIMULTANEOUSLY CONNECT AC/DC AND DC/DC CHARGERS TO

SPOTLIGHT.

6. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

All batteries lose charge over time, especially when they are warm. AC recharge is

recommended every two months, when not in frequent use. Use the AC/DC recharge

adapter and charge for the recommended time. If the unit has dirt on it, gently clean

the outer surfaces of the spotlight unit with a soft cloth moistened with a mild solution

of water and detergent. Periodically inspect the condition of recharge adapters, con-

nectors, and wires. Replace any components that may have become worn or broken.

7. PARTS REPLACEMENT

Several parts are replaceable by users. The quartz halogen bulbs and two sealed lead

acid batteries are available through Vector Manufacturing. A substitute 12 volt, H3,

55 watt bulb may be used instead of a Vector bulb. These can also be purchased from

popular automotive parts suppliers nationwide. Vector Manufacturing’s technical

support department for replacement parts and any additional information that you

may need. They may be reached at (954) 584-4446 or toll free (866) 584-5504.

To replace either or both H3 type 12 volt bulbs, you will need a small Phillips type

screwdriver and a replacement bulb (or bulbs), Vector part VEC190. Bulb life can be

shortened by installing a bulb with dirt or fingerprints on it. The bulb can be wiped

clean with a cloth moistened with alcohol. During bulb installation, avoid touching the

glass part of the bulb. See Figures 4, and details 4A and 4B. Note which bulb is

burned out.

1. Disconnect the unit from any charging adapters

2. Pull the rubber bezel towards the front of the spotlight to reveal two small Phillips

screws in the wide reflector assembly retainer. The screws are on opposite sides of

the retainer.

3. Using the screwdriver, remove (counterclockwise) the two screws. Set them aside.

4. Lift off the retainer, glass lens, and rubber ring and set them aside.

5. Carefully remove the dual reflector and bulb assembly.

6. Disconnect the bulb wire from the red power wire and set the burned out bulb

aside.

7. Unsnap the hairpin retaining wires from the reflector’s flange (see details 4A and

4B)

8. Using the screwdriver, loosen the retaining screw to remove the bulb from the

reflector (no need to completely remove this screw).

9. Lift out the bulb and the attached wire.

10. Insert the replacement bulb into the reflector’s flange.

11. Put back and secure the hairpin retaining wires.

12. Connect the white bulb power wire to the red power wire.

13. Tighten the retaining screw on the flange.

14. Place the reflector in position in the body of the spotlight.

15. Replace the rubber ring in the groove around the perimeter of the reflector.

16. Replace glass and retainer so that the screw holes are aligned.
