Whenever possible cable terminations
should be made below deck and with
approved terminal devices.
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.
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.
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.
Operating Instructions
This equipment is designed for use
out of doors, in free air.
Never place anything on, or cover, the
searchlight when in operation as this
may present a hazard.
The searchlight can be positioned
using the elevation and baseplate
lockwheels. When in the desired
position the lockwheels must be
securely fastened to prevent damage.
The beam of the searchlight can be
adjusted to give a variety of ‘spreads’.
Using the focus knob underneath the
searchlight barrel the beam can be
moved from ‘spot’ to ‘flood’ positions.
The searchlight is fitted with an IP66
Drainage Plug to allow efficient water
draining should any ingress occur.
The Breather Unit 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.
