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.
All PSU should be housed below deck/in doors. Never leave the PSU exposed to weather
conditions.
The searchlight can be remotely positioned via the joystick control panel, with the facility for
movement up, down, left and right. The speed of movement depends on the more pressure applied
to the joystick the faster the searchlight moves. When in the desired position the joystick should be
released so that it returns to its’ home position, dead centre.
The variable speed gearbox has a fast and slow setting. You activate this by switching the
controller switch on the control panel then selecting fast or slow.
The beam of the searchlight can be adjusted to give a variety of beam types. Using the yellow
remote focus button 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 button at the desired position.
The heaters specified on this equipment are self-regulating and will shut off when they reach the
dew point temperature.
This product should not be used for any purpose other than for which it was designed. Any
modifications to the product should not be undertaken without consulting the manufacturer.
