2 - Safety Precautions

The following instructions must be adhered to, to ensure a safe working environment and the

safety of the user.

Note: When unpacking or manoeuvring the searchlight into its fixing position, suitable

lifting points must be used to prevent damage to the equipment or personal injury.

◼Prevent rain, snow, condensation, and water droplets from contacting the lamp as this may

cause bulb failure and possible shattering.

◼Quartz halogen bulbs run with a high internal pressure more than atmospheric. Whilst the

construction is inherently strong, there is a slight risk of the bulb shattering.

◼Never look directly into an illuminated searchlight as this may cause severe damage to

eyesight. If it is necessary to inspect a lamp whilst in operation, always wear suitable

protective goggles.

◼Should it be necessary to examine the lamp with the front bezel removed, always use a

protective shield and wear goggles to ensure a safe working environment.

◼Never attempt to clean a lamp whilst in use.

◼Searchlights get hot. Never touch the unit when lit and always allow 15 to 20 minutes for

cooling down after turning the searchlight off.

◼Never place anything on or cover the searchlight when in use.

◼Ensure the lamp has cooled sufficiently before removal.

◼If undue force appears necessary to remove the lamp, the equipment should be inspected

by a competent person or contact the manufacturer.

◼When breaking a lamp for disposal, care must be taken to ensure the glass fragments are

safely contained. This operation must be performed out of doors in free air. In all

circumstances refer to the lamp manufacturer’s instructions packed with the lamp.

◼Due to the vast range of lamps available it may appear possible that more powerful lamps

can be used in the equipment than for which it was designed. Even when the unit will

physically accept a higher wattage or voltage lamp, this substitution is not recommended

and is dangerous. This action will also void any warranties on the equipment.

Always refer to the lamp manufacturer’s technical data when dealing with lamps.

it may be necessary to use a suitable sealant such as silicone, to ensure a weatherproofed

joint.

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.

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 to overcome the voltage drop.

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

supply cable (Butyl HO7 RN-F) to the control gear:

Installation Guidelines

A typical installation and connection routine for the FH300RC searchlight is as follows:

Referring to wiring diagram C28408 a supply is fed to the junction box, which then provides a

common feed to the control gear, motor gearbox, searchlight, and joystick panel.

The searchlight has been pre-wired with 3 meters of cable from the motor gearbox to the

junction box provided. The searchlight heads are pre-wired along with the connecting cable to

the motor gearbox.

Cables required to be connected by the customer: -

2 pair twisted 0.22mm 100ohm screened cable from the joystick panel to the junction box.

5 core 1.5mm cable from both control gear to the junction box.

Supply cable to the junction box.

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.

Switch On

The panel is activated using the 1/0 button. This will illuminate brightly when the panel is active.

Lamp Control

When the panel is active pressing the LIGHT, button will switch the lamp on or off.

If the control panel is switched off with the 1/0 button the lamp will switch off.

Focus Control

The lamp focus can be adjusted using the FOCUS button. Lamp focus will adjust continuously

whilst FOCUS is pressed.

Beam Direction

The beam direction can be adjusted using the joystick when the panel is active. Moving the

joystick left or right will pan the beam clockwise or anticlockwise.

Moving the joystick up or down will move the beam up or down. The speed of movement is

proportional to the movement of the joystick. It is possible to move the beam in both directions

at once by moving the joystick diagonally.

Home

The lamp can be returned to a pre-set home position. By default, this is dead ahead with the

beam level although different positions can be programmed as described below.

Set New Home Position

To set a new home position move the lamp to the new desired home position. Switch the panel

off then press the joystick down to its limit and press the lamp 1 button. The current position will

now be the new home position.

Set Motion Limit (only available when Remote Focus is fitted)

The lamp travel can be limited in either axis and either direction. To set a new limit, switch the

panel on and move the lamp to the desired limit position. Switch the panel off then press and

hold the focus 1 button whilst moving the joystick full travel in the direction of the desired limit.

Hold in this position for 4 seconds. For example, to set a limit to the tilt up motion; -

1. Switch panel on and drive the searchlight to the desired tilt up limit position.

2. Switch panel off.

3. Press and hold the FOCUS 1 button and hold joystick in the full up position for 4

seconds.

4. Tilt up motion will now be inhibited above the current position.

Clear Motion Limits

Motion limits as set above can be cleared by switching the panel off then pressing and holding

the focus 1 button and lamp 1 buttons together for 10 seconds.

Adjusting Panel Illumination

The panel illumination intensity can be adjusted to suit ambient light levels. To adjust the

intensity, switch the panel on then switch it off with the 1/0 button and keep the 1/0 button

pressed. To increase intensity, move the joystick to the right. To decrease move to the left.

Note that the 1/0 button must be kept depressed whilst the joystick is moved. All indicators will

illuminate whilst adjustments are performed. Adjustment is complete when the 1/0 button is

released.

Obtaining Fault Status

Fault codes can be accessed by switching the control panel on with the 1/0 button and keeping

the 1/0 button pressed for 10 seconds. Fault codes are indicated by the 1/0 button flashing a

number of times related to the fault. Fault codes are detailed below. If more than one fault is

present the 1/0 button will indicate them in sequence.

1. Pan Limit. –Either of the pan limit switches operated. Note that this

may not actually be a fault. The LED will flash when a limit switch is

operated under normal circumstances i.e., the lamp is at the limit of

travel. This will also indicate when a variable limit is reached.

2. Tilt Limit. –Either of the tilt limit switches operated. Note that this may

not actually be a fault. The LED will flash when a limit switch is

operated under normal circumstances i.e., the lamp is at the limit of

travel. This will also indicate when a variable limit is reached.

3. Pan motor over current. –The pan motor is taking excessive current.

The motor will be disabled for a period when this occurs. Fault

indication will remain until power is removed or the fault is corrected.

4. Tilt motor over current. –The tilt motor is taking excessive current. The

motor will be disabled for a period when this occurs. Fault indication

will remain until power is removed or the fault is corrected.

5. Focus motor over current. –The focus motor is taking excessive

current. The motor will be disabled for a period when this occurs. Fault

indication will remain until power is removed or the fault is corrected.

6. FBUS interface over current. –The speed control card supplies 24VDC

to the remote-control panels. This fault indicates the 24VDC output is

taking excessive current. The FBUS supply output will switch off. To

restore this output, remove the supply from the speed control card for a

period.
