INSTALLATION & SET UP
INSTRUCTIONS CONT...
1. MOUNTING THE STAINLESS STEEL BAYONET
MOUNTING BRACKET AND DECK SEAL
a. Select a location that allows for clear beam projection. The
Searchlight base should be mounted on a level, flat surface.
Make sure the light is able to rotate 360 degrees without
obstruction.
b. Use the mounting template to locate the stainless steel
bayonet mounting plate and deck seal supplied. A 3/4 inch
hole for the 12v supply needs to be drilled in the location also
highlighted on the mounting template. Drill 4 holes for fixing
the light to the deck. Jabsco recommends stainless steel
mounting bolts with lock washers.
c. Mount the stainless steel mounting bracket so that the Jabsco
name on the base is facing to the rear. (arrow will show
forward)
d. Fasten light in place with 1/4 inch screws or bolts depending
on fixing method.
2. MOUNTING THE SEARCHLIGHT
a. Feed the power cables through the central holes in the
bayonet base deck seal. If possible lead the wires from the
inside of the boat to minimize the amount of cable between
the light and the bayonet base fitting. (see mounting diagram)
b. Place the light on the bayonet base fitting with the security
locking grub screw located at 5 o’clock. Rotate the light into
the bayonet base fitting while applying reasonable pressure
until the security locking grub screw is at 6 o’clock (facing
rear).
c. Using the security locking grub screw key, lock the light in
place by rotating the security locking grub screw.
3. MOUNTING THE CONTROLLER
a. Select a location, which allows for convenient operation of the
control.
b. Drill three holes (see Panel Cutout Template enclosed) for
running the power supply cables and the fixing bolts.
c. Run the power cables through hole drilled from the inside of
the boat to minimize the amount of cable between the
controller and the mounting surface.
d. Fasten control using the installation kit included.
4. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
The searchlight & the controller(s) should be installed on
independent electrical circuits. Additional controllers (max 3
additional) can be wired independently or on the same circuit
(see wiring diagrams 1 & 2). This is to make the re-learning of
the main controller or the initial learning of any additional
controllers a simple process (see learning additional controllers
section for info on the learning process). Consult the wire size
chart (below) for correct gauge of wire.
DANGER! - REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Disconnect power from the system before working on the
unit to avoid personal injury, damage to the surrounding
environment and/or damage to the unit.
