Safety Information
- UV Radiation Warning: Do not look directly into the UV light source. Prolonged exposure to UV light can be harmful to eyes and skin. Use appropriate eye protection when operating.
- Heat Warning: The flashlight may become warm during extended use. Avoid direct contact with the lens area when hot.
- Battery Safety: Use only the specified rechargeable battery. Do not attempt to disassemble, puncture, or short-circuit the battery. Keep batteries away from fire and water.
- Children Safety: Keep out of reach of children. This is not a toy.
- Proper Disposal: Dispose of batteries and electronic components according to local regulations.
What's in the Box
- ALONEFIRE SV87 365nm UV Flashlight
- Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery (18650 type)
- USB Charging Cable (Type-C)
Setup
Battery Installation
The ALONEFIRE SV87 comes with a pre-installed rechargeable Lithium Ion battery. If the battery needs to be re-inserted or replaced, unscrew the tail cap of the flashlight, insert the 18650 battery with the positive (+) end facing towards the head of the flashlight, and then securely screw the tail cap back on.
Charging
The flashlight features a convenient USB-C charging port. To charge the device:
- Locate the USB-C charging port on the side of the flashlight, usually protected by a rubber cover.
- Open the rubber cover and insert the provided USB-C charging cable into the port.
- Connect the other end of the USB cable to a compatible USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, power bank, computer USB port).
- The charging indicator light will illuminate red during charging and turn green when the battery is fully charged.
- Charging typically takes 4-5 hours for a full charge.
Operating Instructions
Power On/Off
Press the power button located on the side of the flashlight to turn the UV light on or off.
Adjustable Focus (Zoom Function)
The flashlight features an adjustable focus mechanism. To change the beam pattern:
- Zoom In (Focused Beam): Extend the head of the flashlight forward to narrow the UV beam, concentrating the light into a smaller, more intense spot. This is ideal for inspecting small areas or for applications requiring high energy density, such as resin curing.
- Zoom Out (Flood Beam): Retract the head of the flashlight backward to widen the UV beam, spreading the light over a larger area. This is useful for detecting fluorescent reactions across a broader surface.
Applications
The 365nm UV light is highly effective for revealing fluorescent substances not visible under normal light. Common uses include:
- Pet Urine Detection: Identify hidden pet stains on carpets, rugs, and furniture.
- Mineral and Rock Detection: Observe fluorescence in various minerals and rocks. The 365nm wavelength is superior for this purpose compared to 395nm.
- Resin Curing & Glue Curing: Accelerate the curing process of UV-sensitive resins and glues.
- Currency and Document Authentication: Verify security features on banknotes, passports, and other official documents.
- Scorpion Detection: Scorpions fluoresce brightly under 365nm UV light.
- Leak Detection: Identify automotive fluid leaks (when used with fluorescent dyes).
- Bed Bug Detection: Aid in identifying bed bug infestations.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the flashlight body with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Keep the lens clean for optimal performance.
- Storage: Store the flashlight in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, charge the battery every 3-6 months to maintain its health.
- Battery Care: Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Recharge promptly when the light dims.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Flashlight does not turn on. | Battery is depleted or incorrectly inserted. | Charge the battery fully. Ensure the battery is inserted with the correct polarity (+ end towards the head). |
| Light is dim or flickers. | Low battery charge. | Recharge the battery. |
| Charging indicator does not light up. | Charging cable or power source issue; battery not making contact. | Try a different USB-C cable or power source. Ensure the USB-C cable is fully inserted. Check battery contact. |
| UV effect is not strong enough. | Ambient light is too bright; object does not fluoresce. | Use in a darker environment for best results. Not all materials fluoresce under UV light. Ensure you are using the 365nm wavelength for optimal performance on specific materials. |
