6 - Operating Instructions 

 

This equipment is designed for use out of doors, in free air. Never place anything on or cover 
the searchlight when in use as this may present a hazard. 

 

The searchlight can be remotely positioned via the joystick control panel, with the facility for 
movement up, down, left and right. (See Fig 1 below for aid to instructions) 
 

To operate the panel, press panel button (1), the button will light up & the joystick (4) is now 
operational. To switch the lamp on or off press the lamp button (2) 

 

The speed of movement depends on the more pressure applied to the joystick (4) the faster the 
searchlight moves. When in the desired position the joystick should be released so that it 
returns to dead centre. 

 

On remote focus models the beam of the searchlight can be adjusted to give a variety of beam 
types. Using the focus button (3) on the joystick panel, the desired beam can be achieved for 

any particular application. The beam will move continuously through ‘spot’ to ‘flood’. In order to 

fix the beam type, simply release the focus button at the desired position. 

 

To return the searchlight to Factory set auto home position (forward and horizontal) simply 

switch off the joystick panel using the panel button (1) and then press the lamp button (2), the 
searchlight will then move to the pre-programed home position.  

 

To set a new Home position, move the searchlight to the desired home position, switch off the 
p

anel (1), move the joystick to the downward position ↓ and simultaneously press the Lamp 

button (2). 

 

There is the option for added slave panels, the slave panel has all the features of the main 
control panel i.e. joystick, focus and on/off. 

 

When the lamp is switched on, this will illuminate the Lamp button (1) on both the Main & Slave 
Control panel, also when the Focus button (3) is pressed, both Focus buttons will be 

illuminated. 
 
The brightness of the panel can be increased or decreased by holding the panel switch (1) 
down and moving the joystick left and right, left to decrease right to increase.
