Wiring...
Important! When routing wires, existing factory wire paths should be
followed whenever possible.
1.
Locate the 4-position pigtail included with your spotlight. This
connector will be plugged into the spotlight assembly after all wiring
is completed.
2.
Using appropriately sized wire, extend the Red and Black wires
towards the vehicle battery. Install a 7.5 amp fuse block on the Red
wire and connect to +12VDC. Connect the Black wire to chassis
ground.
3.
Extend the WHT/BLK wire to the vehicle dashboard illumination
circuit.
4.
Locate the twisted pair communication cable (included). Connect the
Green and Grey wires from the light assembly to the communication
cable. Route this cable to the spotlight control head’s installed
location.
5.
Locate the 4-position Control Head Harness Plug. Connect the
communication cable to the Green and Grey wires on the harness
plug.
6.
Using appropriately sized wire gage, extend the Red wire to an
ignition-controlled circuit. Install a 1 amp fuse block on this wire and
connect to +12VDC.
7.
Using appropriately sized wire gage, extend the Black wire to chassis
ground.
8.
The 4-position pigtail can now be connected to the spotlight.
Operation...
Important! Proper operation of the Arges Remote Spotlight requires
the controller to be mounted and immovable. It is beyond the scope
of this manual to prescribe a specific mounting style, as that will be
determined by the installer based on that specific vehicle.
Regardless of the location or mounting style selected, it is important
that the controller be positioned in a location that allows easy
access and does not interfere with any existing equipment.
Note: Placing or installing any components that contain magnets
within 3 inches of the Arges controller can temporarily disrupt
proper operation.
The controller consists of the following:
•
3 Control Buttons.
•
H/V (Horizontal/Vertical) control with Orientation Indicator.
Control Buttons....
There are 3 control buttons. Their function is as follows:
Button 1 (Spotlight)
- Turns the spotlight on and off. This button will turn
Red to indicate when it is active.
Button 1 (ProFocus only)
- With the lighthead off, a single-tap turns the
lighthead on in
Spot
mode. A double-tap turns the lighthead on in
Flood
mode.
With the lighthead on, a single-tap turns the lighthead off. A double tap will
toggle the lighthead between
Spot
and
Flood
mode.
Button 2 (Manual)
- Allows the spotlight to be turned/aimed by hand.
Button 3 (Home)
- The first tap turns the lighthead off and returns the
Arges to its ‘Home’ position. A second tap will position the Arges to match
the orientation of the H/V control, but the lighthead will remain off.
H/V Interface Control....
This is a dual-axis control that is used to aim the spotlight in the desired
direction. It consists of a Horizontal and Vertical control, as well as an
orientation indicator. This indicator represents the direction the lighthead is
facing in relation to the H/V control.
Horizontal control rotates the light assembly 360° along its horizontal axis.
If this control is rotated in a given direction, the spotlight will rotate
proportionately in the same direction.
Vertical control tilts the lighthead 180° up and down along its vertical axis.
If this control is tilted away from the orientation indicator, the spotlight will
tilt upwards. If it is tilted towards the indicator, the spotlight will tilt
downwards.
