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 (refer to drawing C23290). 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. On and uneven surface

it may be necessary to use a suitable sealant such as silicone, in order to ensure a

weatherproofed joint.

5 - Electrical Installation

Note: ~

When the main power is first applied to the searchlight, the searchlight will carry out a

self-test, it will Pan to the left limit and Tilt down to the limit, once this is complete, the

searchlight will then move to the centre and horizontal, during this please do not try and

operate the searchlight while this test is being carried out. Once the searchlight is back

at centre the searchlight can then be operated normally, by pressing the Panel button on

the control panel.

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

Note: This equipment must be earthed.

Installation Guidelines

A typical installation and connection routine for the L230RC 90w LED searchlight is as follows:

Referring to wiring diagram C27513, a supply is fed to the junction box, which then provides a

common feed to the motor gearbox, searchlight and joystick panel.

The searchlight has been pre-wired with 3 meters of cable from the motor gearbox to junction

box provided. The searchlight head is pre-wired along with the connecting cable to the motor

gearbox.

Cables required to be connected by the customer: -

2 pair twisted 0.22mm 100 ohm screened cable from the joystick panel to the junction box.

Supply cable to the junction box.

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 searchlight can be remotely positioned via the joystick control panel, with the facility for

movement up, down, left and right. (See Fig 1 below for aid to instructions)

To operate the panel, press panel button (1), the button will light up & the joystick (4) is now

operational. To switch the lamp on or off press the lamp button (2)

The speed of movement depends on the more pressure applied to the joystick (4) the faster the

searchlight moves. When in the desired position the joystick should be released so that it

returns to dead centre.

On remote focus models the beam of the searchlight can be adjusted to give a variety of beam

types. Using the focus button (3) on the joystick panel, the desired beam can be achieved for

any particular application. The beam will move continuously through ‘spot’ to ‘flood’. In order to

fix the beam type, simply release the focus button at the desired position.

To return the searchlight to Factory set auto home position (forward and horizontal) simply

switch off the joystick panel using the panel button (1) and then press the lamp button (2), the

searchlight will then move to the pre-programed home position.

To set a new Home position, move the searchlight to the desired home position, switch off the

panel (1), move the joystick to the downward position ↓ and simultaneously press the Lamp

button (2).

There is the option for added slave panels, the slave panel has all the features of the main

control panel i.e. joystick, focus and on/off.

When the lamp is switched on, this will illuminate the Lamp button (1) on both the Main & Slave

Control panel, also when the Focus button (3) is pressed, both Focus buttons will be

illuminated.

The brightness of the panel can be increased or decreased by holding the panel switch (1)

down and moving the joystick left and right, left to decrease right to increase.
