good catch
I agree, my FWAA also has no 3H from on function.
I edited my copy of the image to correct that mistake, and also removed the aux light and switch light references that do not apply to FWAA:
.
For anyone looking for the Hank light dual channel instructions (D4V2 and D4SV2), here’s what I’ve found that I could not discern from the printed Anduril 2 manual. This may apply to other dual channel lights, but I only have the D4SV2 in dual channel and I think the D4V2 will use the same instructions.
I just got my dual channel light yesterday so I’m still sorta figuring it out, but this is what I’ve found so far.
Tint ramping/channel switching modes:
From the advanced menu, Off-9H changes between ramping and channel switching modes. At the 9H-buzz, 1C enters channel switching mode. Also at the 9H-buzz, no entry returns to tint ramping mode.
I’ve found this a little tricky in practice and sometimes have trouble switching modes. I suspect I’m either releasing the button too soon or too late on 9H. I believe the trick from 9H is to release before the double blip. I think I was holding 9H too long.
Channel switching mode: On-3H changes channels. Rinse and repeat to swap channels. Then 1H to ramp up and down the single channel. 2C to light up all emitters in turbo (or is that the ramp ceiling)? I’m not quite sure.
Tint ramping mode: All 4 emitters are lit.
1C to ramp up and down both sets of emitters as normal.
OR: ON-3H and continue to hold until one set of emitters turns off and the other set of emitters turns on and blinks twice.
On-3H to change back to the first set of emitters. On-1H and continue holding to vary tint (or throw vs flood if you have similar color temp emitters like the Osram W1 and the Samsung LH351D-5700k).
To get back to all 4 emitters, ON-3H and hold until all 4 emitters are lit and release. Back to single channel operations.
Hope this is helpful to someone else out there trying to interpret the manual which is a generic document and not specifically geared to a specific light. Or at least, not in a way I understood.
Is there a 12-emitter turbo option on K9.3 running the normal K9.3 firmware? I know this is an option with tint ramping firmware, I flashed to my K9.3 but it didn’t behave properly, so I flashed it back.
This may also help, to get a visual reference for how the color model works on tint-ramping lights:
^ Excellent diagram, TK. I’m really getting seduced by all this… I may just have to buy a single cell tint ramping light (have an LT1), even though I don’t really need one. Or maybe, I just didn’t think I needed one… 
Hi jon_slider, doing further tests on my new FWAA. Thermal configuration doesn’t seem to work.
The temperature check function returns realistic values. If I go to second option of thermal configuration and set 1 click for 31 degrees celsius as temperature limit, the light doesn’t seem to step down to hold the 31 degrees but getting really hot. This happens regardless how I went to a high output: double double click or just ramping to a high output.
have you seen this warning?:
“”Constant reactivation of turbo mode can easily cause the flashlight to EXCEED safe operating temperatures.“:https://www.illumn.com/lumintop-fwaa-edc-14500-aluminum-flashlight.html”
if the light gets hot,
I not use Turbo again until the light cools down
I do not tailstand on Turbo
heat is removed faster by my hand, than the air
the thermal sensor does step down the lumen output,
the thermal sensor does not actually remove heat from the light…
the light can get hotter than the thermal setting if repeatedly turned on at Turbo.
The described behavior is examined when I don’t use turbo. Just ramping.
Ramping = Turbo
the default ceiling in Simple Mode is level 150/150, that is the same as Turbo.
the light can get too hot using High Outputs repeatedly, even below Turbo, if it is not allowed to cool between uses.
once the light is hot, the thermal stepdown cannot make the body cooler, it just lowers the lumens, but the heat must be removed by our hand, or by time
here is a runtime and temperature chart, not on Turbo, from a review by zeroair:
hope that helps explain how a light can just stay hot from repeated testing at high outputs
Thank you for your patience and all your help. Not sure what I did differently in previous runs, other than the temperature meter correction which had a six degrees negative offset. Now I could clearly see the temperature regulation fading out the output to keep the defined low temperature.
glad it helped
enjoy your FWAA… its a fun little light
with a lot of great features in a nice small package
Happy Holy Days
Everything I get here definitely helps, thank you. I enjoy the FWAA. Noticed one more difference:
3C flashing modes from Off in Advanced mode don’t have SOS mode. Not a problem, just a feedback for the diagrams.
Happy Holy Days to you too.
true… no SOS in my edited FWAA flowchart:
Also no Aux lights
Also no CCT mixing.

Anduril is not one single product
there are many different versions of Anduril, with different features, for different lights
Could you please check the Anduril 2 - Generic Version PDF? Some elements are shown when you view the PDF on screen but do not print out (e.g. the 2 "OFF"s in the center are just black ellipses). I verified this with several apps and devices.
I just downloaded the generic pdf in the OP (dated 2021.08.02) and it printed out just fine for me. I don’t see anything missing (other than changes that have occurred since that pdf was created). The center “OFF”s are both there.
Here’s a pic of the sheet I printed:
Thanks for the feedback, speedlever.
This is really weird, I tried 2 different devices (iPad, MacBook) and 4 different apps (including Adobe PDF reader and Chrome) and no luck.
Jon, maybe I’m missing something here but 2C to Turbo does work in my Anduril 2 FWAA …
Mine came with the ramp ceiling set at maximum, I have manual memory set a lot lower. In advanced UI, if I turn it on then double click, it does shortcut to Turbo/Max, and I’m not first having to ramp to ceiling.
thanks for the apparent difference…
upon reflection, I think that makes sense,
let me know if you agree
your double click goes to Ceiling
your Ceiling is 150=Turbo
I lowered my ceiling
my double click goes to my lower Ceiling
my Ceiling is Not 150=Turbo
fwiw, by default FWAA Simple mode ceiling is also 150=Turbo… you can double click that too… I cant get to 150=Turbo in Simple… because I lowered my Simple ceiling also.
When I want Turbo on my FWAA the easiest for me is to go there is from OFF, in Advanced using 2H
For lights with a button LED, the button LED typically stays on while the main emitters are on. Its brightness level is set in a way which mirrors the main LED -- off, low, or high.For lights with a RGB button LED, the button LED indicates battery
charge during use in the same manner as the aux LED voltage mode.
For lights with front-facing aux LEDs, the aux LEDs typically stay off
when the main emitters are on, and when the light is otherwise awake.
The aux LEDs on most lights only turn on when the light is asleep.
Re: TS21 Switch Button LED Behavior Questions.
1) In addition to the programming described above for the Switch Button's LED, can I assume that any other functions provided for a specific light are programmed by the manufacturer? (ex., Wurkkos TS21's Switch Button LED can be configured to function as a Locator Beacon with 4 options; Solid-Low, Solid-High, Alternating High & Low, and Off, )
2) I have two TS21's, one of which had been sitting on the sidelines until today. While checking that unit's configuration settings, I noted a behavior with the Switch Button LED that my other unit doesn't do. As I increase the smooth ramp to the ceiling (set to 100/150), when I reach a point that I'm visually guessing is ~75%, the LED activates with a Solid-High Orange. As I lower the ramp to below that same point, the LED shuts off...strange!
(FWIW, I set the TS21's "Unlocked-Mode" with the Solid-Low Orange Locator Beacon when it OFF. I didn't set anything for the "Locked-Mode")
NOTE: As with some of the odd behavior exhibited by the Blue LED (other than its purpose when the TS21 is charging), the behavior described above for the Orange LED is not described within the TS21's Operation Manual.
If anyone knows why the High Non-Blinking Orange LED is being activated as the smooth ramp up reaches ~75% and above, I would greatly appreciate your explanation.
a guess
at the power level the button turns Orange the battery has too low a charge to support the power drain at that level
you could test that by using a fresh charged battery, if the Orange does not happen, you know it was trying to help remind you to recharge (or use a lower output until you recharge)
