RMT stands for Remote, Motion, &
Training. Training Mode keeps your light at just 5% intensity all night until motion is detected; this trains game to a non-invasive dull light in the area. Motion Triggers our Gradual Illuminant Technology which brings Gradual I your light to 60% intensity over a 2-minute period, and the included remote control Model: RMT allows you to control your light from more than 100 yards away. The Slow Glow model IRG is the evolution of the Slow Glow Family of Lights. Our IRG model features all the same attributes of our signature RMT, but adds the ability to cast infrared light (instead of visible red). When utilizing Green Light, your IRG will act exactly llike our model RMT. When you switch to Infrared, light functions change slightly. Because there is no visible light, there is no Model: IRG PAGE 3 SLOW GLOW PACKAGES The All In One package comes with our signature RMT or IRG hunting light, packaged in our Stealth Box Setup (with all the same accessories as our Stealth Box Package), AND includes a 12v battery, 5w Solar Panel, and mounting hardware for your solar panel to the top of a t-post. top of a t-post. PAGE 4 POWERING UNIT ON / OFF PAGE 5 CHANGING LIGHT COLOR Light without a Stealth Box If you ordered a light without the optional Stealth Box, your light will have a 5 power cord with Red & Black quick-connect terminals. If you desire a RED light, hook the Slow Glow power cord directly to the babattery with the red wire going to the positive terminal and the black wire going to the negative terminal. If you desire a GREEN light, reverse the polarity and hook up the red wire to the negative terminal and the black wire to the red terminal of the battery. Light within a Stealth Box Lights that came as part of our Stealth Box package have a shorter power-cord with a male barrel plug. Simply plug the light into either the RED or GREEN power jack barrel, and ensure the barrels aare connected to the correct battery terminals. Model IRG Lights activate 850nm infrared light when utilizing the RED barrel, and green LED light when connected to the GREEN barrel. We offer an optional 5 extension cord that can be purchased on our website. This aallows you to mount your Slow Glow out-
side of your Stealthbox, with enough cord to set your battery on the ground. PAGE 6 4 MODES OF OPERATION Mode 1: DAYTIME MODE (0% light output) Two independent monitoring eyes constantly evaluate ambient light conditions; both sensors require ample natural light to activate the light to turn on. This prevents unintended dimming during full moon conditions or when hunting near bright backlit areas. This feature also allows the Slow Glow system to function at post-dawn and pre-dusk periods (prime time for nocturnal game). Daytime Mode (0%) uses no periods (prime battery power and is activated shortly after daylight. Mode 2: TRAINING MODE (5% light output) Training mode is activated at dusk and will produce a very efficient dim glow (5% intensity), training game to a light in the area. Your light will stay lit in training mode the entire night at this faint 5% glow to introduce non-intrusive light to your hunting area. Your light will remain in training mode until motion is detected or triggered with the rremote control. Training mode is not bright enough to be intimidating to most game, and commonly goes unnoticed by wild hogs, exotic game, and predators. The longer a light is left in a hunting area, the more accustom game become to the light. Model IRG: If your model IRG light is in Infrared mode, it will continue to utilize training mode 5% light output. Even though the light is not visible, it allows the hunter to monitor the area using night vision wiwithout activating the light up to 100% by remote control. PAGE 7 4 MODES OF OPERATION Mode 3: MOTION SENSED MODE (60% light output) The motion sensor will trigger a timing circuit when movement is detected within 30 feet of your light. Once triggered, the light intensity will slowly increase from 5% intensity to approximately 60%
intensity; this process will take about 2 minutes. Once the light reaches 60% intensity, Motion Sensed Mode (60%) will maintain this llight level until the motion sensor ceases to see movement for 2 to 3 consecutive minutes. Each new sensed movement resets the timer. Without any detected movement for this time period, the intensity will automatically drop back to the Training Mode (5% intensity). Mode 4: REMOTE CONTROL MODE (100% light output) The remote control can be used to increase the intensity of your light to 100%; remote control mode will also latch the system in the full-on mode to prevent system from dimming, regardless of detected motion. This feature should be used when stalking in behind your light. Due to the amount of battery power required for Remote Control Mode (100%
intensity), it is not intensity), it is not recommended to be used for periods of time greater than 1 hour. Depressing the top remote-control button (Full) will trigger a gradual light increase up to 100% intensity, and will remain at full power until the bottom remote control button (AUTO) is pressed. Once AUTO button is pressed, light will determine if motion has been detected within the past 2 minutes; if it has, the intensity will drop slowly to 60% and maintain this level until motion is no longer detected. This pThis prevents game being alarmed by seeing a sudden drop in light intensity. If light determines that no motion has not been detected during the previous 2-3 minutes, intensity will return to the Training Mode (5% intensity).
*Model IRG Lights: If your model IRG light is in GREEN mode, it will utilize the Gradual Illuminant Technology and increase light slowly. If your model IRG is in infrared mode, the gradual light increase has been omitted and will increase to 60% immediately after detecting motion, and 100% after pressing the remote control FULL button.

Choose your lens, replace the bezel to secure the lens, do not over-tighten or cross-thread. PAGE 9 LIGHT FUNCTIONS Good Battery Light Indicator On the right side of your Slow Glow, there is a small GREEN LED. This is the Good Battery Light Indicator, which illuminates if the voltage of your battery is between 11 volts and the fully charged level of 13.8 volts. This GREEN light ensures that your bayour battery has at least enough voltage to effectively run your light for at least 1 more night of hunting. Unless you have a solar charger, it is recommended you check your Good Battery Light Indicator prior to every night of hunting to ensure you have enough power to operate your light all-night. Sunlight Sensor Next to the GREEN LED, there is a small photocell. This measures ambient light and activates your Slow Glow just before dark and extinguishes it when nocturnal feeding times have passed at daylight. This keeps the training light active during pre/post feeding activities which is often prime which is often prime time for animal movement. Testing the System: Insure the GREEN Good Battery Light Indicator is on, if not, replace or recharge your 12v battery. If training light is off due to daylight, cover the photocell with your fingertip, black tape or a dark cloth. This simulates darkness and activates Training Mode. Although your Green Good Battery Light should stay on day and night, neither the Remote Control or Motion Detection features are funcfunctional during daylight hours. Testing at night can be done by walking in front of the motion sensor or using the remote control and verifying the expected results. We dont recommend testing indoors. PAGE 10 MOUNTING YOUR LIGHT Setup It is recommended that your light be placed 20 from your feeder or hunting area, preferably down wind and raised 4 to 5 feet off the ground. This method allows the motion detection to work effectively and lights the largest amount of huntable area. Motion can be detected as far away as 30 feet from your light. Mounting Dependent on the type of hunting you do, choices are endless with the Slow Glow system. In all cases though, you will be hunting from behind the light, making it essential to mount your light down-wind of your hunting area. This prevents the hunter from being blinded by the intense light and prevents game from winding your position. Having several mounting options like pre-placed T-Posts makes Having several moun moving the system easy in the event the wind suddenly changes direction. The bottom of every light has a 1 female conduit fitting, making it easy to place atop a piece of 1 pipe. Also, every light features a 1/4 x 20 threaded connection-point on the back of the light, making it easy to connect a number of different quick mounts. Stealth Box System By far the best way to mount your Slow Glow is utilizing the optional Stealth box. This rugged Texas made tactical case has been specially designed to easily mount to a T-Post. The Stealth Box includes all hardware needed to securely fasten to any T-Post and includes an articulating PVC arm which allows easy positioning of the light exactly whewhere you need it. The box comes predrilled and plugged to allow easy connection of an optional 5W solar panel. The lockable box has ample room inside to store the battery while keeping all components and wiring safe and secure from weather and critters. PAGE 11 MOUNTING YOUR LIGHT Slow Glow Mounting Clamp Every light is tapped with a quarter twenty thread for a variety of mounting options, the most ideal option utilizes our clamp mount that allows you to mount your llight VERY securely to a T-Post. Conduit tting: The body of your Slow Glow Light is constructed of schedule 40 PVC which uses a standard 1 water pipe or electric female conduit fitting on the bottom. A slit has been cut that allows the power wire to be routed through the side of the 1 outlet. This frees up the 1 fitting so a pipe can easily be inserted without damaging the cable. Examples of ways to use this mount include: driving a 1 pipe ddirectly into the ground, using a 5-gallon bucket of cement to support extension pipe or strapping extension pipe to fence post, tree, etc. Tripod: One of the most universal and dependable ways to mount the Slow Glow is with a video camera tripod. Tripods allow you to adjust the height and angle of your light specific to your hunting area. This method also makes your light super portable night to night. Tethering your tripod to the ground is is recommended to prevent livestock or game from knocking your set-up over. PAGE 12 BUILDING YOUR STEALTH BOX PAGE 13 BUILDING YOUR STEALTH BOX PAGE 14 INSTALLING A SOLAR PANEL Nothing less than a 5w Solar Panel is recommended Our optional 5-watt solar panel will greatly enhance the ability to keep your battery fully charged all year long. Charge levels will fluctuate due to shorter days (winter), cloudy skies, rain, or excessive animal activity at night. Any panel providing less than 5w power will likely not be able to keep up with the demand of the light. Our Solar Panel Kit contains a high efficiency 5-watt solar panel, Our Solar Panel Kit contains a high e pinch T-Post mounting clamp, T-Post top cap, U-Bolt, armored cable with cable gland and all wiring, and all hardware and connectors to interface panel to Stealth Box. Solar Panel can be mounted vertical or horizontally by moving aluminum pinch clamp and can be rotated on T-Post 360 in order to point panel toward the south (or your area of clearest maximum sun exposure). Installation Instructions Position and tighten U-Bolt around the T-Post with solar panel pointing south. Position and tighten Stealth Box where armored cable will reach the entry plug on top rear of case. Remove outer plastic lock nut and insert cable gland thru Stealth Box. Loosen cable gland outer nut so gland will thread into box. Tighten outer nut to squeeze armo squeeze armored power cord. Using the included locknut inside the Stealth Box is not necessary. With battery positioned in Stealth Box, slide RED female piggy-back terminal on positive battery post. Slide black female piggy-back terminal on nega on negative battery post. Battery charging system is now ready to accept Slow Glow power cable. PAGE 15 TROUBLESHOOTING Troubleshooting: Your new Slow Glow was designed for many years of outdoor use however any electric product that is exposed to the elements of weather can have shortened life expectancy if not taken care of. Due to the simplistic operation, 99% of all failures are a result of defective batteries or inadequate charging systems. The GREEN Good Battery LED on the right side of the unit is a very valuable tool. In essence, its a voltmeter that is always hooked up. If tthis LED is not lit, your Slow Glow is not going to operate correctly. Changing or charging your battery is always the first step in troubleshooting. Always return your Slow Glow to the AUTO mode after depressing the FULL button; otherwise your battery life will be shortened due to the power used to keep your light at 100%
needlessly. If you will not be using your light for long periods, we recommend you remove your light and store inside until needed. Due to to the training mode, hogs can be hunted the same night that it is installed.
