OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The searchlight is designed for use outdoors.
When in use never cover the searchlight or lay anything on it
because this will create a serious possibility of fire or other hazard.
The searchlight is electrical remote controlled by an 8-position joystick controlpanel.
Two movements, e.g. down and left, or up and right, can be performed simultaneously.
When the beam is in the required position release the joystick which will return in the centre
position.
As an optional extra the searchlight can be fitted with remote focus control.
To operate it push the button on the controlpanel.. The beam will move continuously from spot
to flood and reverse.
Release the push button when the required beam is achieved.
The thermostatically controlled heater in the motor unit must be permanently connected to the
supply voltage. The 75 Watt heater will automatically be switched off when the dew point
temperature is reached.
Any modification, addition of conversion of the equipment should not be undertaken without
consulting the Manufacturer.
To put the searchlight to work :
Please observe the following precautions.
! Be sure that the searchlight is isolated from the supply before changing the lamp
! The envelope of a lamp is made in glass or quartz, which materials are inherently fragile,
please bear this in mind when handling lamps.
! When handling lamps which have been taken from the packing material, eye protection
should be worn.
! Check the lampholder contacts to ensure that they are clean and free from dirt and/or
corrosion. Corroded areas must not be cleaned by sanding or filing because this will reduce the
conduction surface which in turn may cause the lamp to overheat.
! When fitting the lamp do not apply mechanical stress on the quartz bulb. Do not bend or twist
it.
! When the lamp warms up it must be able to expand. Mechanical stress must be avoided to
the fused quartz envelope.
! The lamps is provided with a protective jacket. Before that jacket is removed it is strongly
advised to wear suitable protection e.g. gloves with wrist protection, face mask.
! Do not touch the quartz envelope with bare hands. Fingerprints will makes the glass cloudy
and cause loss of light. Also it may cause recrystallisation thus weaken the bulb material. If the
bulb has been inadvertently touched fingerprints can be removed with methylated spirit and a
clean tissue. The bulb should then be wiped with distilled water.
ALWAYS WEAR MASK AND GLOVES WHEN HANDLING LAMPS
