2 - Safety Precautions

The following instructions must be adhered to, in order to ensure a safe working environment

and the safety of the user.

Note: When unpacking or manoeuvring the searchlight into its fixing position, suitable

lifting points must be used in order to prevent damage to the equipment or personal

injury.

The high luminance of the LED can cause severe damage to the eye if viewed directly.

ALWAYS wear suitable protective goggles when viewing the LED;

Searchlights get hot. Never touch the unit when lit and always allow 15 to 20 minutes for

cooling down after turning the searchlight off;

Never place anything on or cover the searchlight when in use;

Ensure the LED has cooled sufficiently before removal;

Due to the vast range of LED modules available it may appear possible that more powerful

LED’s can be used in the equipment than for which it was designed. Even when the unit

will physically accept a higher wattage LED, this substitution is not recommended and is

dangerous. This action will also void any warranties on the equipment.

4 - Unpacking and Installation Instructions

The following instructions should be read and fully understood prior to installing the equipment

to ensure that the correct procedures are followed, and all safety precautions are observed.

Note: If the equipment has been in storage for a considerable amount of time, it is

advisable to conduct a routine maintenance check on all parts before installation.

Safety Precautions

This equipment should not be connected to an electrical supply before being installed.

Installation procedures should be adhered to in order to ensure a safe working environment

and reduce the risk of damage or personal injury.

Preparing the Mounting Position

Mark out and drill the fixing holes through the deck. If anti-vibration mounts are to be fitted, the

fixing holes for the mounts should also be marked out and drilled. Prior to manoeuvring the

searchlight into its’ fixing position, the AV mounts should be fitted to the base. When in the

desired position, bolt the searchlight firmly down.

5 - Electrical Installation

For safety purposes, only competent personnel should perform the electrical installation. All

equipment should be installed to current Electrical Regulations and Standards.

In order to obtain the maximum light output from the searchlight, it is essential that the full

operating voltage of the LED fitted be applied to the LED contacts.

Method of Electrical Connection

1) Disconnect the supply before working on the electrical system;

2) The searchlight must be connected to a fused electrical supply, using suitably sized cable;

3) If the searchlight is located a considerable distance from the supply, provision must be

made in the cable size in order to overcome the voltage drop.

4) Whenever possible cable terminations should be made below deck and with approved

terminal devices;

5) If a spare auxiliary fuse or circuit breaker is not available, one of the correct type and rating

should be fitted and connected to a positive supply. It is advisable to locate a bus bar or

main connection and avoid any direct connection to the supply:

6) For 110/220v AC products, the following colour coding system should be used for the

customer supply cable:

Brown - Live

Blue - Negative

Green/Yellow - Earth

Installation Guideline

A typical installation and connection routine for the LED 300 searchlight is as follows:

Referring to wiring diagram C27317, a supply is fed into the control gear enclosure, which then

provides a common feed to the searchlight.

Cables required to be connected by the customer: -

5 cores 1.5mm cable from the Control Gear to the Searchlight,

(Customer may need to provide a suitable junction box to this cable, 3 metres supplied).

The Mains cable to the Control Gear is to be supplied by the customer.

6 - Operating Instructions

This equipment is designed for use out of doors, in free air. Never place anything on or cover

the searchlight when in use as this may present a hazard.

The beam of the searchlight cannot be adjusted.

Using the template provided mark out and drill the fixing holes through the deck or cabin roof.

In case of cabin control models, a centre hole is also required to allow the mechanism to pass

through.

On an uneven surface when bolting down the searchlight it is necessary to use a suitable

sealant, such as silicone, in order to ensure weather proofed joint.

Please note that if a heater is fitted, it is advisable to leave the heater permanently in the ‘ON’

position in order to remove any condensation. The heater specified on this equipment is self-

regulating and will shut off when the dew point temperature is reached.

This product should not be used for any purpose other than for which it was designed.

Any modifications to the product should not be undertaken without consulting the

manufacturer.

7- Fault Finding

All fault finding must be conducted by a competent person or qualified Electrical Engineer.

Failure of LED to light.

In the event of the LED failing to light the following steps should be taken:

1) Check that the mains supply is connected to the input of the LED driver and check all

connections as per the wiring diagram. On operation if the LED does not light, switch off

mains supply and check all fuses;

8 - Maintenance and Servicing

In order to prolong the service life and performance of your searchlight, the following

maintenance guidelines are recommended:

Maintenance checks should be conducted before every voyage or at least every three

months;

Before checking, disconnect the equipment from the supply;

Visually inspect the condition of the equipment;

Any major or minor structural damage should be rectified immediately in order to reduce

sympathetic wear;

After inspection it may be necessary to clean the inside of the searchlight. The following

procedure should be adhered to:

Remove the front bezel;

Clean the front glass inside and out using a proprietary glass cleaner;

Clean the lenses if required;

It is advisable to check all seals and gaskets for signs of degradation. Renew if necessary;

Upon completing all maintenance requirements, the searchlight should be tested for full

working order (approximately 20 minutes).

Every six months the external movement mechanisms i.e. lockwheels, elevation and pan

mechanisms, should be lightly lubricated.

If in any doubt as to the correct servicing procedures to adopt please contact your

distributor/agent or the manufacturer who will be able to advise the best course of
