5 - Electrical Installation

Note: ~

When the main power is first applied to the searchlight, the searchlight will carry out a

self-test, it will Pan to the left limit and Tilt down to the limit, once this is complete, the

searchlight will then move to the centre and horizontal, during this please do not try and

operate the searchlight while this test is being carried out. Once the searchlight is back

at centre the searchlight can then be operated normally, by pressing the Panel button on

the control panel.

For safety purposes, only competent personnel should perform the electrical installation. All

equipment should be installed to current Electrical Regulations and Standards.

In order to obtain the maximum light output from the searchlight, it is essential that the full

operating voltage of the lamp fitted be applied to the lampholder contacts.

Method of Electrical Connection

1) Disconnect the supply before working on the electrical system;

2) The searchlight must be connected to a fused electrical supply, using suitably sized cable;

3) If the searchlight is located a considerable distance from the supply, provision must be

made in the cable size in order to overcome the voltage drop.

The Control Gear should NOT be positioned know more then 5 meters away from the

Searchlight.

The following table below indicates the maximum length of cable to be used for the AC

supply cable, from the junction box to the searchlight:

4) Whenever possible cable terminations should be made below deck and with approved

terminal devices;

5) If a spare auxiliary fuse or circuit breaker is not available, one of the correct type and rating

should be fitted and connected to a positive supply. It is advisable to locate a bus bar or

main connection and avoid any direct connection to the supply:

6) For 220v AC products, the following colour coding system should be used for the customer

supply cable:

Brown - Live
