Installation instructions from HDS Systems
- Do not touch the reflective surface of the reflector - the reflective surface cannot be cleaned - touching the reflective surface will damage it. Do not touch the LED - touching the LED will damage it.
- Unscrew the head from the battery compartment. Set the battery compartment aside.
- The reflector holds the bezel and head together. When you unscrew the bezel from the head, the reflector normally stays with the bezel. However, sometimes the reflector will stay with the head. The procedure changes depending on which circumstance happens.
- Reflector stays with the head.
- Put the head on the table reflector up. Tap the lens gently with your finger nail so it is sitting on the reflector. Keeping the head on the table, continue unscrewing the bezel, taping the lens every half turn or so. When the bezel is free, carefully lift it straight up. You should be left with the head, reflector, the lower O-ring, the glass lens and possibly the upper O-ring in the stack.
- If the upper O-ring stayed with the bezel, gently remove the O-ring from the bezel and set it aside. If the upper O-ring stayed with the lens, carefully pick it up off of the lens and set it aside. Set the bezel aside.
- Remove the lens from the stack and set it aside. Remove the lower O-ring from the stack and set it aside.
- Use a strap wrench to remove the reflector. Set the old reflector aside. Leave the head sitting on the table LED side up.
- Reflector stays with the bezel.
- Set the head aside, LED side up.
- Using a strap wrench, unscrew reflector from the bezel until the O-ring is exposed and stop there - you should now be able to use your fingers to finish unscrewing the reflector. Put the bezel/reflector assembly bezel up on the table - i.e., it will be sitting on the flat end of the reflector. Tap the lens gently with your finger nail so it is sitting on the reflector. Keeping the reflector on the table, continue unscrewing the bezel, taping the lens every half turn or so. When the bezel is free, carefully lift it straight up. You should be left with the reflector, the lower O-ring, the glass lens and possibly the upper O-ring in the stack.
- If the upper O-ring stayed with the bezel, gently remove the O-ring from the bezel and set it aside. If the upper O-ring stayed with the lens, carefully pick it up off of the lens and set it aside. Set the bezel aside.
- Remove the lens from the stack and set it aside. Remove the lower O-ring from the stack and set it aside. Set the old reflector aside.
- Screw the new reflector into the head, reflector side up. Place the lower O-ring in the groove around the reflector. Set the glass lens on top of the lower O-ring. Set the upper O-ring on top of the lens directly over the lower O-ring. Carefully place the bezel over the stack and screw it down. Ensure that the O-rings sit in their little grooves and do not come out and get pinched. Tighten everything by grabbing the bezel and head. You only need to tighten until the gaps between the bezel, reflector and head are gone - do not over tighten.
