Lens motion sensor system
If you have taken a lens with this system and at some point your lens is working but your motion sensor is not working properly. Don’t be scared!
Just replace the old batteries with new ones! Caution! Do not mix old with new.
This system draws more power from your batteries and they can’t support it because they have little power.
We also remind you that this system does not work with black rubber materials.
Microfiber differences
The DryFast towel and the DrySof towel are made of the same material but have a different treatment.
DryFast: Smaller volume, less absorbency, faster drying.
DrySoft: Bigger volume, more absorbency, slower drying, better feel on you.
The Nemo bathrobe and the Aegean bathrobe are made of the same material but have a different treatment.
Nemo: Smaller volume, less absorbency, faster drying.
Aegean: Bigger volume, more absorbency, slower drying, better feel on you.
Alpinpro Flashlight Series
Since the beginning of 2018, Alpinpro has been producing two series of flashlights with different specifications.
Series “H”
Intended for professionals and industrial use
Series “L”
Intended for amateur use.
How do you distinguish them?
Simple! You will find H-SERIES or L-SERIES written on a distinct point on the product. It is usually next to the product code
Quality & ANSI FLI1!
Why some companies write too lummens and characteristics when the market place and the product comes not respond to what he says;
Because many companies that manufacture or import products, not looking to check or try to seduce the buyer with excesses.
The ALPIN lenses are checked and certified by experienced staff and they say on their packages correspond to reality.
Also accompanied by a guarantee from the manufacturer.
ATTENTION!
Be given great attention to the quality of construction because many features of ANSI FLI1 is intertwined with that! Eg waterproofing, painting, LED threads etc.
Materials for the socks AlpinTec
SILTEX – 100% polypropylene microfibre
Excellent polypropylene yarn which is four times the amount of microfibers which enhances the values of MX1 fiber.
The absorptive capacity of the structural composition of polypropylene is close to zero and because the maximum number of micro-fiber, care to repel moisture. With these fibers creates an unimaginable number of air ducts to achieve an ideal heat climate. These ducts give perfect heat protection.
Maintains constant temperature of your body and keeps you dry for longer, no matter how much you sweat and is a hydrophobic material that dries very quickly.
X-STATIC ® – 85% polyamide + 15% silver A
A polyamide fiber coated with a layer of pure natural silver. You have better anti-microbial protection that will never fade. X-Static® continuously emits silver ions to decompose germs. It eliminates hydrogen into the molecular structure of DNA of the microbe. The germ unable to breathe will eventually die. Another unique property of X-Static® fiber is the capacity to absorb and static electric discharges. Therefore, it is static. There are more than 7,000 nerve endings in the foot, the body uses the ribs to emit electrical signals. Since silver is best conductive of other materials, X-Static® will absorb the signals as well. As the electrical discharges will pass through silver, a magnetic field is formed around the sock and improves blood circulation.
BREVITY
The silver fibers x-static provide control against malodor, against microbes, they are antistatic, provide temperature control and is therapeutic.
THE EVOLUTION OF COMFORT
Dual heat-setting
How does Thermocool ™; When there are thermal changes during the night or variations in ambient temperature (home-office-street-exercise); requirements for thermoregulation of the human body is not always the same. The Thermocool ™ fabric provides a smart technology that provides superior comfort with double thermo-setting whatever the season. It is an ideal technology to prevent the feeling of cold blocking sudden temperature changes when it is cold and keeping the heat and moisture away when it is hot.
High Activity: Evaporative Cooling
ThermooCool ™ evaporates moisture faster than other materials thanks to its unique blend of fibers. The fibers are designed to provide additional conveying surface
outward moisture. The fibers with multi-channel surface give outstanding transfer-centered activity humidity. Transfers heat to the outside! Hollow fibers allow enhanced air circulation so as to have better comfort and better evaporation process.
Low Activity: Thermobuffering
Hollow voids in the fabric provides a lightweight material thermobuffering properties: protect the user from temperature changes. This also helps to prevent the cooling following the exercise and still allow diffusion of excess heat in the air.
Unique blend of Thermocool ™ fiber
*** The hollow fibers with the mixture of fibers smart Thermocool ™ is one of the best insulation technology on the market to maintain warm body.
*** Thermocool ™ provides better transfer 48% humidity than other fabrics. In other words, 48% higher capillary except 53% better performance than other products evaporation.
COOLMAX® – 100% shaped polyester
The Coolmax is a material designed to transport moisture (sweat) from the body that it be kept dry and cool faster than other fabrics, thereby regulating the body temperature. The performance and convenience of the Coolmax performed through specially designed and made from polyester fibers (not simple fiber polyester). These fibers function differently on both sides of a fabric Coolmax. They passed through “microchannels” air from outside to inside for proper ventilation of the body, while from the inside out excrete sweat to keep the skin dry. The above properties of Coolmax results in improved performance of the athlete.
- Drying Comparison: In a comparative drying time testing of various fibers, after 30 min. the Coolmax has lost 95% of moisture and cotton 50% humidity.
- Drying Performance: By comparing the% drying efficiency-capacity, at the same time the Coolmax has 2.5 times more capacity than that of cotton.
THERMOLITE ® – 100% polyester
The Thermolite is a material that provides warmth and comfort without weight, even when the garment is wetted. The lightweight fabric withstands even the toughest use, while construction of the “empty” (hollow) fibers trap very easily air for better insulation. Also, users of a garment made of Thermolite remain drier because the material dried 40% faster than any other insulating material and 60% faster than cotton. The Thermolite is one of the best clothing fabrics because they are comfortable, lightweight and allows freedom of movements. Resistant to mildew and odor retention.
Inspired by Mother Nature
When the group of scientists created Thermolite, nature was their guide. They found that the hairs of polar bears was blank (empty) inside them to be able to resist freezing cold. From this simple discovery of the “empty» (hollow) fibers and Thermolite created.
SUMMARY:
- Provides superior warmth while it is ultralight.
- In keeping warm and dry for longer.
- Excellent breathability.
- Excellent resettable after compression.
- Resistant to mildew and odor retention
Lycra
Brand of elastane fiber by Invista. The material is very flexible and provides maximum ease of dress as well as ensure a perfect hold on the foot.
MERINO WOOL:
Wool is one of the oldest and most universal fiber and has been used for. The wool fabrics have been recorded since 3000 BC Wool from the sheep is warm, natural insulation, water-repellent and extremely durable. The merino sheep is famous for the best quality wool for this are using socks. Today, Australia produces about 80% of the world’s merino wool.
The wool fiber is suitable for manufacturing socks sake of carrying capacity, absorption, thermal insulation, mechanical strength, elasticity and anti-allergig (sensitive skins). The excellent thermal insulation properties, we use hiking in winter. Summer will certainly appreciate the absorption capacity of up to 30% of the density, while maintaining touch dry, it means that the liquid does not sock cools.

Flashlights Alpin – Standart ANSI FLI1
Why Create Standards
Recently, a need for a standard performance platform for the flashlight industry was recognized. The absence of a consistent performance standard has made it difficult to provide comparable product claims and effectively communicate features and benefits, which consumers use to select the right flashlight for their specific needs. Our research indicates a consistent performance platform would be quite beneficial to help users make the right selection when choosing a flashlight.
In addition, the category is changing rapidly as new companies and products enter the market. Flashlight technology has radically changed and consumers are eager to learn more about these new disruptive technologies.
Current agencies, such as UL (Underwriters Laboratories), do not provide performance standards for flashlights, so major retailer’s that employ testing firms are requesting guidance.
Flashlight Standards
To respond to this need, 14 flashlight companies, including Energizer, collaborated to write a standard. They included the following products: hand-held/portable flashlights, spotlights, and headlamps.
The ANSI/NEMA FL 1 Standard has been ratified and includes six measures. Each measure is defined, has a test procedure specified, and has an associated icon to use for claims. Standard ratification included voters representing three groups: 1) manufacturers, 2) users, and 3) general interests – one group cannot represent more than 50% of the total ratifying vote.
ANSI (American National Standards Institute)
These standards are accredited by ANSI, which is a private non-profit organization that oversees the development of voluntary consensus standards for products, services, processes, systems, and personnel in the United States. The organization also coordinates U.S. standards with international standards so American products can be used globally.

What are the best socks for running?
We’ve all wondered about what clothes and what equipment we need for the training we do or for the sports. Sometimes we begin the sport with clothes that we believe that such equipment is necessary only to professional athletes. But the equipment has nothing to do with the level of professionalism and how many hours we practice or practicing sports every day, but to understand the need for protection of our body from injury and maintain the possible physically and mentally healthy to continue unabated workouts. In particular, the right running equipment, helps to enjoy more running. With this in mind, both the hobbyist and the professional, work everyone to their limits trying to overcome themselves. Runners have to protect their feet, because they receive incredible pressures and working harder than any other body part. Basic philosophy is: “Do not destroy your feet and shoes with any socks.”
Why do we need them?
A high-quality running sock is not simply a piece of “cloth”, but the intermediate functional link “foot-shoe” which comes directly into contact with the skin. Is the material managed by the moisture of the foot and the surface that will protect the feet from pressure and vibration and will properly support the foot with the selected anatomical investments.
What should we avoid?
Keep cotton socks, even if they are labeled “Running”, off your running shoes. Running and exercise more than 30 minutes, it is a good idea to use a sock made of materials that are less friendly and more friendly foot, thus more able to correct moisture transfer. The terms “hydrophilic” and “hydrophobic” refer respectively to the ability of a sock to absorb moisture or not. Cotton therefore absorbs moisture very well – in fact, so well that never lets go! The cotton socks absorb moisture, swell and lose because of their shape and their compression, while continuing to accumulate and to hold until the end of the exercise. More specifically, the amount of sweat increases dramatically during exercise to help your body to cool. For example, athletes who train can produce 1500-2000ml sweat per hour during heavy exercise in a hot environment, and there are those in which the amount produced can reach 3700ml per hour. The highest concentration of sweat glands those detected in the palms of our hands and soles of our feet. The sole of the foot has more sweat glands of the body, in whole about 250000-300000. Thus, the body sweat produced and not enough time to evaporate, ending legs and therefore accumulates in socks. Attention! always talking about 100% cotton socks rather than stockings combining cotton and other materials greatly reducing the negative cotton.
Results
Combined the leg that is closed in shoe and badly ventilated created various problems: blisters, calluses, irritation, fungal infections on the feet of athletes and all that can occur from poor application of a sock made from unsuitable materials. In fact the use of unsuitable materials may result in keratolysis pads – as unpleasant sound that occurs in walking who have suffered from excessive sweating, infarction, recurrent presence of moisture resulting in elevated PH altered surface of the skin. And as far as athlete’s foot always remember: “Dark, warm, moist environment in the leg is a paradise for fungi.”
What to choose?
For the sport of Running wherein the sweating is intense and continuing for a long time the most appropriate fiber used for manufacturing socks ideal running is Coolmax. The Coolmax material is considered the most suitable for the management of the accumulated moisture and perfectly compatible with the materials they are made of, street shoes. The synthetic fibers are hydrophobic, meaning that because the moisture transfer away from the foot do not like the evaporating. Besides the selection of suitable fibers to be friendly to your foot during running, high quality Retrospective socks incorporate other advantages that can optimize your performance. An important feature is the lack seam handmade compound in the toe area, which eliminates the possibility of friction and irritation at the top of the fingers, the specific support of the sock with anatomical zones for stability in motion, the Y heel nest properly foot. In addition, the special weave of the materials and the particular structure of the sock with the selected zones and ventilation channels in the design, allowing moisture to move away from walking faster and help the sock to “breath”.
More technical information on “Coolmax VS Cotton” (cotton without other material means of)
The fibers are made of materials that tend to swell with moisture retaining, as we all understand tend to lose their shape. Natural fibers seems to swell more than synthetic: Cotton swells by 45%, wool about 35%, the acrylate will grow only about 5%. Cotton is more than 2-fold resistant to flow and retention of moisture. It absorbs and retains moisture and appears to have multiple retention than a sock made of Coolmax. When the cotton sock liquid is additionally ceases shock absorber, which is very important for a runner. There can breathe while the swelling of the fibers and the surface of the block with the accumulated moisture.
Drying Comparison: In a comparative drying time testing of various fibers, after 30 min. the Coolmax has lost 95% of moisture and cotton 50% humidity.
Drying Performance: By comparing the% drying efficiency-capacity, at the same time the Coolmax has 2.5 times more capacity than that of cotton.
Overall wear comfort: In its assessment of the overall performance and comfort, the Coolmax was rated “very good” (1,9 rate) while cotton “poor” (5,5 rate). The scale is evaluated with a rating of “very good” up “unsatisfactory”.

General information about batteries
When you buy a new device today that a lens Alpin, an iPhone, a Laptop, a camera, etc. just overcome his excitement starts and goes into questions about the best use of the device in terms of battery life this ..:
With the battery you become; What should I watch; Is it true that I have heard so far for so many years that I use portable electronic devices;
Somewhere here there are some forgotten concepts that follow us and listen and then others that are true and will follow us for years to come ..
A common advice is to let the whole evening device to charge the battery if you want to have enhanced performance in the future ..
But this is a lie .. At least for all devices that use lithium ion batteries ..
The Lithium Ion batteries require no initial charge, neither long nor intra-day. All lithium-ion batteries come from the factory with a charging rate. So use it as much preload you normally start after the load, without any special treatment.
The above way of dealing with a new device was based even when we made use of Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) batteries and nickel hydride metal ware (NiMH) devices that you actually wanted preload.
Must I remove the battery from the charger once it reaches 100% because you may “overload” and reduce battery performance over time.;
The answer is no..
This advice is for earlier times have now passed the technological in past times. The lithium ion batteries have an intelligent system that once the battery is fully stopped charging by the circle.. Also itself is not harmful to let the device us for hours on the charger .. of course, the electronics do not get along with the temperature, but the chances of damage from this is almost zero ..
The partial charge do damage; :
Also another common mistake we hear is that we should not do partial charging.. The lithium ion batteries behave much more positively to the partial charge of the total charging. Because simply their life expectancy depends on how many total “charging cycles” They will be “affected” in their lives. So I may have heard or read that these batteries have a lifespan eg 3000 charging cycles (charge circles).
When you hear “charging cycles” is meant the charge of the total and NOT only the individual (0% -> 100% ..)
That is if you charge the device in a day to once a 50% second 30% and the next morning another 20% will then classified again as fully charged regardless of whether the battery has been filled step by step. The battery has absolutely no damage from this process ..
Of course at some point will show some signs of performance decline, but these will be normal loss and not something caused by you.
The battery must be completely empty to charge again my device;
The answer here is unequivocally NO ..!
This logic was true even when the batteries were based on nickel which were known as “Memory effect” .. Her generation batteries are really “hurt” at this point and so the shadow follows us until today ..
In the generation of lithium-ion battery fully discharge can be disastrous since damaging ion battery of simple syskefon..Me words have in this generation batteries there is always an available power 5% – 10% of the battery so as not to vlavi.I cause damage that can occur is to get our batteries in “sleep” process, and directly affect the battery life of total ..
But what is true in general with these batteries; :
Lithium ion batteries – charging and discharging battery types
Lithium ion batteries are currently used in a huge range of electrical devices, from cell phones to hybrid vehicles. They can store large amounts of energy per unit weight (contain higher energy density). This will prolong the battery life, and is lighter because lithium is the lightest metal.
You can also recharge the lithium ion battery at your convenience without having fully charged or fully discharged which require other for better performance batteries. For this reason ensure better performance in vehicles, great autonomy compared to lead batteries and have twice the range and five times the lifespan.
The term “lithium battery” or “lithium battery” refers to a group of batteries with different compositions, including many types of cathode electrodes and electrolyte.
Lithium batteries are divided into:
Lithium ion batteries (including lithium polymer batteries)
Rechargeable batteries commonly used in electronic devices such as laptop, mobile phones, MP3, DVD players, GPS navigation systems, cameras, power tools.
Lithium metal batteries (including lithium alloy batteries):
Non-rechargeable / disposable batteries that have lithium metal, which are generally used in small, portable electronic devices, such as clocks, thermometers, calculators, electronic car lock, backup computer batteries or communications equipment.
The element lithium ion, having a positive electrode containing lithium oxide. The lithium ions are transferred during charging or discharging of one to the other electrode via a porous spacer sheet immersed in the electrolyte.
The Li-Io elements have a nominal voltage of 3,7 V, and are offered in minimum sizes / capacities (what known 450mAh and 700mAh).
The Li-Io was a major development in the field of electrical components, with the following disadvantages:
They can not be discharged with a current greater than 2C.
For safety from excessive charging current or discharge must incorporate an electronic protection circuit. Without this circuit, their use poses risk of explosion. This circuit is opened when the current value exceeds the safe limit, but do not come back (not closes) alone, unless first disconnect the battery consumption, and connect again.
Charging the Li-Io is a special adapter or special program complex charger. It makes use of the charging program for Li-Po, because the latter gives more voltage than allowed for Li-Io (and vice versa is allowed).
LITHIUM-ION POLYMER-elements (Li-Io-Po):
Today the most common rechargeable Lithium elements are called Lithium – Polymer. These in fact are elements & quot; Polymer Lithium Ion or Li-Po.
For information, there are authentic data Lithium Polymer which however can not perform at temperatures below 60 degrees kelsiou.To element Lithium Ion Polymer, the porous separator sheet is replaced by a solid polymer material sheet, while it is non-conductive in electricity, but lets go ions.
Their electrodes are lithium cathode and graphite (carbon) to the anode. The Li-Po elements have a nominal voltage 3,7V. The practical voltage range is from 4,2 Volts when freshly charged, up to 3 Volts when discharged. The external difference from the Li-Ion is that elements are enclosed in a soft casing called & quot; envelope & quot ;. This fact makes them very light compared to all the other elements, and avoid the risk of explosion, after much pressure inside the cell can not grow, but not the risk of ignition as we shall see below. The weight / capacity relationship and their ability to be discharged comparatively large tension ,.
Caution: Work on connecting individual components together either in series or in parallel, through their bare terminals, carries risks of short circuit, which results in inflammation of the item.
charging:
When they leave their factory, the Li-Po have about 50% of the Li-Io and Li-Po tous.Ta data load require specific charging parameters, which ONLY chargers manufactured for this mission (or special programs Li -Io and Li-Po charger compound) .The maximum charging voltage can be used by elements (in series) is 4,235V. In practice, the charging voltage is set at 4,2V or 4,15V for more security.
Similarly, the general rule defines the maximum charging current to 1C. In the future it will definitely improve. If the voltage values or intensity during charging is larger than allowed, there is a risk of ignition of one or more elements. The flame coming out of an element Li-Po reminds firework sparkler and reaches 3-4 metra.To charging current is initially 1C, but decreases gradually as the battery is charging, and when the cell voltage reaches 4,2V, at the end of charging the intensity has fallen to 0,1-0,2C. With the initial tension 1C the battery will regain 90% of capacity in an hour, while the remaining 10% still requires 45-50 minutes.
Charging with current greater than allowed, will not earn as much time to compensate for the expected decrease in battery life and capacity, or the risk of ignition stoicheion.I charging can be done with the elements in series or parallel, or a combination of both. In each case the data must be exactly the same, and we do not mean what he writes the label but to behave exactly like each other, not so easy in practice .. Because then you can not be sure that in practice the elements are exactly the same after the end of charging, check the voltage of each element separately. If there is a component that has a voltage difference of the other more than 0,05V, charge or discharge the – respectively individually, to come to the level of others.
May be Li-Po charger recharges in / Li-Io, provided that you select the correct number of items and the current value 1C. There may be charges Li-Io in LI-Po program.
Do not let only the lithium batteries to charge. To the supervisor very often, and to touch it with his hand to feel the potential increase in temperature. Do not recharge within the device. At home, placed the battery charge away from flammable liquids, or flammable objects, unburned area, and the best isolated in an area that will build around a brick or inside metal box, or in a glass container. Do not charge lithium batteries in the car.
If you get the predicted charging time and not fully charge the battery, stop charging and considered this battery & quot; disused & quot ;. Also charging should definitely stop if according to the indication of the charger has gone through this capacity greater than 1,05C battery. That once discharged battery 700mAh should not go more than 735mAh. Finally if rise means that is overloaded and should be classified disused.
Because the charging voltage is very critical, especially circulating voltage control circuits (overvoltage protection) inserted in the charging circuit, when they do not trust the charger.
discharge:
The different brands set different minimum safe voltage values for each item. The company Kokam provides a voltage discharged Li-Po cell, must not fall below 3,0V
The different brands set different minimum safe voltage values for each item. The Kokam company provides a voltage discharged Li-Po element must not fall below 3,0V to stand, or 2,5 V under load. If the voltage drops at lower prices than those fixed by the company of the item, the item will spoil.
All data is not the same brand, and again from those of the same brand is not all of the same generation, or the same batch. Thus we can define here the maximum discharge current with a multiple of C, as we did for other types of data. The first generation Li-Po limit the discharge current at 2-3C, and the second generation at 5-6C. Today there are elements that allow discharge to 8-20C, certainly not without loss of useful capacity, or even their lives. When you buy a new battery made up of a pen the maximum discharge current in accordance with the specifications.
Limiting discharge intensity per cell, can be overcome if we join two or more identical elements in parallel. For example, if an item can be discharged with a current of 5A, uniting two identical parallel we can take 10A current, three identical parallel to obtain current 15A, etc.
When a Li-Po battery is discharged with a current much higher than recommended, for several minutes, the element temperature will rise to the point that through a chemical reaction will increase the internal resistance of the elements. If this is done the battery power decreases.
Save-maintenance- Precautions
They have lower discharge to storage. In theory this means that you can loadings today and use them after six months. But in practice things are different.
The Li-Po should not remain fully charged for more than a month. If the storage with full energy and for a long time, will reduce the ability to recover all of their nominal capacity. Meanwhile, the long-term storage should be checked that the voltage will not drop below 3.0V (per item). If you are afraid that approaching the time when this will happen, charging them to 5-10%.
Do not crease the item. Nor to attempt to open the plastic casing.
Decline the disused data according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If there are no other specific instructions, the first discharge, then opened holes in the softening parties casing, immerse in brine for two – three days, and then lose it in household garbage. The lithium batteries are considered environmentally friendly. Do not pierce the sheath component yet energy. Do not throw in the fire.
If the liquid electrolyte in contact with skin or eyes, first rinse the area with water, and then go to the doctor. If the batteries hit violently let them over 30 minutes to see if you develop a reaction or not. The fire can come from contacting lithium with oxygen in the air. Do not try to loadings element showing even slight damage. If point rise during charging, immediately stopped charging, and removed in a safe place, because it can be ignited after some time.
Do not make the mistake to put on charge with reverse polarity. storage and use temperature is 0-50 degrees Celsius. Their temperature should not exceed 70 during discharge.
Lithium batteries have no memory effect. Memory effect had earlier technologies. But what phenomenon? The additional loading on older type batteries -eg let them discharge up to 80% and after fortizame- had a bad effect on them. The battery from some point on, “remembered” that 80% go on … and when filling sometime like to discharge more, the battery “thought” that had no energy in! So the ideal in those batteries were to leave them to empty completely before putting back in charge. In lithium there is no benefit, quite the contrary.
Manufacturers suggest doing dips discharge now and then;
Yes, they suggest he is right. The lithium-ion and lithium polymer chemistry, no memory effect, but has … circuit that controls! The circuit described above has a ‘database’ which collects statistics and measurements continuously. Monitor that the battery performance and calculates the formulas “how much capacity ‘are the cells that control. If therefore always use the battery as it should, ie with small loads, not allowing it to drain completely, the circuit begins to emit errors in statistics and believes that the batteries hold less energy than they actually can fit.
Here we come to improve these statistics. Now and then, about every 30 charge-discharge cycles, should let the battery be immersed in 3% of capacity. In this manner, the circuit records the data of the actual capacitance values and thus our battery has a longer life.
