2 - Safety Precautions

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

the safety of the user.

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.

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 3 off holes Ø6.4mm on a 108mm P.C.D.

A central hole Ø50mm will be required to accept the movement of the control handle. Make sure to

fit the Base-sealing gasket, when in the desired position bolt the searchlight firmly down. On an

uneven surface a suitable sealant maybe required to provide a weatherproof seal.

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) When wiring the negative supply, the direct connection to a battery or supply, or metal

hull/object, should be avoided. It is advisable to use a suitable commoning block or connection.

7) For ease of use a single pole switch, of the appropriate rating, should be fitted in a convenient

location. All cable lengths should be kept to a minimum.

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.

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 supply is connected to the input of the LED and check all connections as per

the wiring diagram C27603. On operation if the lamp does not light, switch off 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 reflector 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).

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 action for

your product.

Notes for Lamp Fitting/Removal
