General Description and Specifications
The SHADOW
RTB
is designed to provide high intensity emergency scene lighting with quick
precision. As with any electromechanical device, take precautionary steps to ensure safe
operation.
The vehicle provides power for the 12 VDC circuitry. The umbilical corded control unit is
powered via 12 VDC eliminating hazardous voltage levels within the hand held control box.
The
SHADOW
RTB
is manufactured to provide years of service with a minimum of maintenance.
Model # Description Minimum Power Requirements
SL422D 2 x LED 50 Amps, 12 VDC
SL442D 4 x LED 90 Amps, 12 VDC
Operation
Raising the light from the nested position
Using the control box, raise the lower stage. Control switches are of momentary action style and must
be held in the “on” position to actuate the stages.
The SHADOW RTB has an override system that precludes rotation of the lamp tree until the lower stage
has elevated approximately 16" from the nested position. When the lower stage is below 16” the
following conditions exist:
• Lamp Tree is prevented from rotating.
• All lights are turned off, including strobe light if equipped, regardless of light switch positions.
• Prevents the lower stage from moving down if lamp tree is not centered.
If the supply from the vehicle is marginal, position the SHADOW RTB before turning on lights.
Returning the light to the nested position
The KNIGHT
2
is equipped with an Autopark function as a standard feature. The “P” button on the
control box initiates the Autopark sequence. Once initiated, the “Emergency Stop” button indicator
is illuminated. Pressing the “Emergency Stop” button will cancel the Autopark sequence.
