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, using the template provided. 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.
In the case of cabin control models, a centre hole is also required to allow the mechanism to pass
through.
Fit the ‘O’ ring in position and bolt the searchlight down securely. On an uneven surface it is
necessary to use a suitable sealant, such as silicone, to ensure a weatherproofed joint.
For cabin control models it is necessary to remove the underdeck control assembly prior to
installation.
Using the Allen key provided, the five grubscrews on the underdeck mechanism should be
loosened to allow the underdeck control assembly to be removed. The outer tube can now be
positioned through the centre hole. The searchlight base can now be securely fixed as stated
above.
Upon installation, re-assemble the underdeck control mechanism ensuring the grubscrews are
secure and the mechanism operates correctly.
