2 - Safety Precautions

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

the safety of the user.

Note: When unpacking or manoeuvring the searchlight into its fixing position, suitable

lifting points must be used in order to prevent damage to the equipment or personal injury.

Prevent rain, snow, condensation and water droplets from contacting the lamp as this may

cause bulb failure and possible shattering;

Quartz halogen bulbs run with a high internal pressure in excess of atmospheric. Whilst the

construction is inherently strong, there is a slight risk of the bulb shattering;

Never look directly into an illuminated searchlight as this may cause severe damage to

eyesight. If it is necessary to inspect a lamp whilst in operation, always wear suitable protective

goggles;

Should it be necessary to examine the lamp with the front bezel removed, always use a

protective shield and wear goggles to ensure a safe working environment;

Never attempt to clean a lamp whilst in use;

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 lamp has cooled sufficiently before removal;

If undue force appears necessary to remove the lamp, the equipment should be inspected by a

competent person or contact the manufacturer;

When breaking a lamp for disposal, care must be taken to ensure the glass fragments are

safely contained. This operation must be performed out of doors in free air. In all

circumstances refer to the lamp manufacturers instructions packed with the lamp;

Due to the vast range of lamps available it may appear possible that more powerful lamps can

be used in the equipment than for which it was designed. Even when the unit will physically

accept a higher wattage or voltage lamp, this substitution is not recommended and is

dangerous. This action will also void any warranties on the equipment.

Always refer to the lamp manufacturer’s technical data when dealing with lamps.

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, 4 Holes Ø12.5mm on a 350 PCD. 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

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 lamp fitted be applied to the lampholder 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. The following table should be used for

indication purposes only:

Searchlight

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;

Installation Guidelines

Standard

A typical installation and connection routine for the FH300RC Twin Head searchlight is as follows:

Referring to wiring diagram C27806, the Mains supply is fed into each control gear, which then

provides a common feed to the motor gearbox, control panel and the searchlight.

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

the Control Gear Enclosure.

Cables required to be connected by the customer: -

8 cores 1.5mm cable from the Junction Box to the Control Panel.

12 cores 0.5mm cable from the Junction Box to the Control Panel.

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

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. When in the desired position the joystick should be released so

that it returns to its’ home position, dead centre.

The beam of the searchlight can be adjusted to give a variety of beam types. Using the yellow

remote focus button 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 button at the desired position.

The heaters specified on this equipment are self-regulating and will shut off when they reach the

dew point temperature.

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.

Setting to Work

Safe service in use necessitates the strict observance of the following precautions.

Any article fabricated from quartz or glass is inherently fragile and care should

therefore be taken, at all times, when handling lamps;

Eye protection must be worn when handling lamps that have been removed from their

packaging materials. The protective jacket should not be removed from the lamp for

safety reasons, as there is a remote possibility of the lamp shattering violently,

especially if it is subjected to mechanical shock or vibration;

Always isolate the equipment from the supply before inserting a lamp;

Before inserting the lamp ensure that all contacts are clean. Contacts must be

renewed at the slightest sign of corrosion. Sanding or filing down corroded areas is not

recommended as this will only make the conducting surface between the pin and

lampholder smaller, thus causing the lamp to overheat;

Do not twist or bend the fused quartz bulb when fitting the lamp as mechanical

stresses MUST be avoided;

The lamp must be capable of unimpeded expansion when it warms up to operating

temperature. Mechanical forces must not be applied to the fused quartz bulb;

Before the protective jacket is removed, suitable protection must be worn i.e face mask

and gloves with wrist protection;

Never touch the quartz bulb with bare hands, as fingerprints will make the glass cloudy

and cause a severe loss of light. This may also cause recrystallisation and thus

weaken the bulb material. Should the bulb be inadvertently touched, remove

fingerprints with methylated spirit and a clean, soft paper towel. The bulb should then

be wiped with distilled water. NOTE: ALWAYS WEAR MASK AND GLOVES DURING

CLEANING);

In all circumstances the lamp manufacturer’s data should be referred to when dealing with

lamps.

When fitting the lamp:

-Always isolate the equipment from the supply when inserting a lamp;

-Ensure the circuit is suitably fused;

-Ensure the lamp is of the correct power rating and type;

-Check lampholder is in good condition. If the contacts show any sign of corrosion, replace the

lampholder;

-Check the lampholder is in a good dry condition. Never allow water to collect in the lamp fitting

or come into contact with the lamp.

To fit the lamp:

-Loosen all the latches on the front of the searchlight, remove the front bezel assembly and

store in a safe place;

-For easier access the light shield/spill ring may be removed by undoing the fasteners;

-Cut open one end of the protective sleeve surrounding the lamp;

-Using the sleeve to prevent the fingers coming into contact with the lamp, position the two pins

above the holes in the lampholder;

-Gently push the lamp into the lampholder and remove the protective sleeve;

-Replace the light shield/spill ring and front bezel assembly, ensuring the latches are securely

fastened.

Testing

Upon correct installation and connection to an electrical supply, the equipment can be tested in

order to ensure its’ correct performance. A competent person with some knowledge of electrical

equipment must carry out this work.

Equipment required: Multi-meter with leads

Ammeter

Using the equation P=VI, the approximate power output of the equipment can be calculated in the

following way:

-Using the multi-meter, take a voltage reading;

-Using the ammeter, take an amp reading from the live cable to the lamp;

-Multiply these figures together to give an approximate wattage (Power output).

For example:

Using a 24v 150w Tungsten halogen lamp:

Voltage reading = 24v; Amps reading = 6 amps

Therefore, Wattage = 24 x 6 = 144 watts
