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 positioned using the elevation and baseplate lockwheels. When in the
desired position the lockwheels should be securely fastened to prevent damage.
The beam of the searchlight can be adjusted to give a variety of beam types. Using the remote
focus switch on the control 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 switch at the desired position.
Please note that a heater is fitted in the searchlight and is hardwired so that it is permanently on.
The heater specified on this equipment is self-regulating and will shut off when the dew point
temperature is reached. It should be noted that the power to the searchlight must be left on to allow
the heating element to function correctly.
The searchlight is also fitted with an IP66 drainage plug to allow for efficient water drainage should
any ingress occur. The breather at the rear of the searchlight ensures a steady airflow to prevent
any vacuum forming within the barrel.
After use the searchlight should be returned to the horizontal position in order that a level plane is
provided to allow for any water drainage.
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.
