To set searchlight beam intensity:
1)
To increase the intensity of the searchlight to
high beam
, rock and hold the beam
conditioning switch once to the right. When you release the beam conditioning switch the
intensity will return to its previous setting.
(This function can be programmed, see page 6.)
2)
To decrease the intensity of the searchlight to
battery saver mode
, check that this function
has been activated (this position is shared with the strobe function; see programming section
for more information). After activation, rock the beam conditioning switch to the left. This
will set the light into battery saver mode. To return to normal intensity, rock the beam
conditioning switch to the left again.
To override low voltage protection – NiCad Batteries Only:
1)
The searchlight will automatically shut down before it discharges a NiCad battery enough to
damage it. At this point, there are usually several minutes of power left in the battery that
can be accessed in an emergency.
2)
To access the remaining power in the battery push and hold the power button. Please note
that this procedure may damage the battery to the point that it will no longer accept a charge.
To attach a Maxa Beam optical filter:
1)
The Maxa Beam filters utilize a quick disconnect snap lock feature for ease and speed of
installation or removal. To attach a filter, first line up the 3 tabs on the filter with the slots on
the searchlight’s front lens ring.
2)
Place filter over front of searchlight.
3)
Turn filter
counter-clockwise
until it is fully seated. Filter will lock in place.
Programming
The Maxa Beam Searchlight provides you with a great deal of operational flexibility by allowing
you to modify the operational characteristics of the searchlight with some simple programming
sequences. This capability allows you to customize the light for a specific application.
For example, if you want to use the light for an extended search operation in a wooded area, you can
program the light to automatically start up in battery saver mode with the beam width at full flood.
Other scenarios include: a surveillance operation where you want the light to start up at normal
power with the beam set to the size of the area under surveillance or a tactical application where the
user programs the light to start up in strobe mode at a narrow beam spread.
Factory Settings:
When you receive your searchlight from the factory it will operate as follows:
Automatic Beam Intensity at Start Up:
Normal Power Mode
Rock Conditioning Switch Forward:
Decrease Beam Width to Spot
Rock Conditioning Switch Backward:
Increase Beam Width to Flood
Rock Conditioning Switch Right:
Momentary High Beam
Rock Conditioning Switch Left:
Battery Saver (Low Beam) Mode
To modify these characteristics follow the instructions shown on the following pages.
