Installation Guidelines
A typical installation and connection routine for the LX300RC searchlight is as follows:
Referring to wiring diagram C27463, a supply is fed to the power supply unit, which then
provides a common feed to the motor gearbox, searchlight, and joystick panel.
The searchlight has been pre-wired with 3 metres of cable from the motor gearbox to junction
box provided. The searchlight head is pre-wired along with the connecting cable to the motor
gearbox.
Cables required to be connected by the customer: -
2 pair twisted 0.22mm 100ohm screened cable from the joystick panel to the junction box.
5 cores 1.5mm cable from the PSU to the junction box.
3 cores 2.5mm cable from the PSU to the junction box.
Supply cable to the PSU.
When the light is in operation the output from the PSU should be 17.5v at 8.5 amps.
Basic Operation
When the searchlight is turned on an 115v/240v supply is fed to the PSU. This in turn
generates a sufficient voltage to the ignitor in order that the ignition voltage is achieved, and the
Xenon lamp strikes.
After the lamp has lit, the PSU regulates the voltage through the ignitor so that the lamp
operates within its design parameters.
