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 3 off holes Ø6.4mm on a 108mm P.C.D.
A central hole Ø45mm will be required to accept the movement of the control handle (Cabin
model only). Make sure to fit the base sealing gasket, when in the desired position bolt the
spotlight firmly down. On an uneven surface a suitable sealant maybe required to provide a
weatherproof seal.
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 spotlight, it is essential that the full
operating voltage of the LED fitted be applied to the LED contacts.
Method of Electrical Connection
1)
Disconnect the supply before working on the electrical system.
2)
The spotlight 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.
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/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:
6)
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 terminal 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.
