Safety Precautions

The following instructions must be

adhered to in order to ensure a safe

working environment and the safety of

the user.

Note: When manoeuvring the

searchlight into its fixing

position, suitable lifting

points must be chosen in

order 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 lamps run with a

high internal pressure in excess of

atmospheric. Whilst the

construction is inherently strong,

there is a slight risk of the lamp

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;

FR 230 Searchlight 2

Should it be necessary to examine

the lamp with the front bezel

removed, always use a protective

shield to ensure a safe working

environment;

Never attempt to clean the lamp

when in use;

Searchlights get hot. Never touch

the unit when lit and always allow

at least ten minutes for cooling

secure and the mechanism operates

correctly.

Power Supply Requirements

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 maximum light

output from the searchlight, it is

essential that the full operating

voltage of the lamp fitted is applied to

the lampholder contacts.

Method of Electrical Connection

Disconnect the supply before working

on the electrical system.

The searchlight must be connected to

a fused electrical supply, using

suitably sized cable.

If the searchlight is positioned a

considerable distance from the

supply, provision must be made in the

Whenever possible cable terminations

should be made below deck and with

approved terminal devices.

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.

When wiring the negative supply, the

direct connection to a battery or

supply, or metal hull/object, should be

avoided. It is advisable to use a

suitable commoning block or

connection.

For ease of use a single pole switch,

of the appropriate rating, should be

fitted in a convenient location. All

cable lengths should be kept to a

minimum.

Operating Instructions

This equipment is designed for use

out of doors, in free air.

Never place anything on, or cover, the

searchlight when in operation as this

may present a hazard.

The searchlight can be positioned

using the elevation and baseplate

lockwheels. When in the desired

position the lockwheels must be

securely fastened to prevent damage.

The beam of the searchlight can be

adjusted to give a variety of ‘spreads’.

Using the focus knob underneath the

searchlight barrel the beam can be

moved from ‘spot’ to ‘flood’ positions.

The searchlight is fitted with an IP66

Drainage Plug to allow efficient water

draining should any ingress occur.

The Breather Unit at the rear of the

searchlight ensures a steady airflow

to prevent any vacuum forming within

the barrel.

After use, the searchlight should be

returned to the horizontal position in

order that a level plane is provided to

allow for any water drainage.

Note: 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 before

consulting the

manufacturer or agent.

FR 230 Searchlight 5

Setting to Work

Safe service in use necessitates

the strict observance of the

following precautions.

Any article fabricated from quartz or

glass is inherently fragile and care

should therefore be taken at all times

when handling lamps.

Eye protection must be worn when

handling lamps that have been

removed from their packaging

materials. The protective sleeve

should not be removed from the lamp

for safety reasons as there is a

remote possibility of the lamp

shattering violently, especially if it is

submitted to mechanical shock or

vibration.

Quartz lamps should not become

contaminated with oils, grease or

come into contact with skin.

When fitting the lamp:

Always isolate the equipment from

the supply before inserting a lamp;

Ensure the circuit is suitably

fused;

Ensure that the lamp is of the

recommended type and rating;

Check the lampholder is in good

condition. If the contacts show any

sign of corrosion the lampholder

should be replaced;

Check that the lampholder is in a

good dry condition. Never allow

water to collect in the lamp fitting

or come into contact with the

lamp.

To fit the lamp:

Loosen all the thumbscrews on

the front of the searchlight,

allowing the bezel and glass to

hang clear on the captive bolt;

For easier access the light shield

may be removed by firstly undoing

the centre screw;

Cut open one end of the protective

sleeve surrounding the lamp;

Using the sleeve to prevent the

fingers coming into contact with

the lamp, position the two lamp

pins above the holes in the

lampholder;

Gently push the lamp into the

lampholder and discard the

protective sleeve;

Replace the light shield, fixing the

centre screw in position;

Position the front bezel onto the

searchlight and tighten the

thumbscrews until hand tight.

Testing

Upon correct installation and

connection to an electrical supply, the

equipment can be tested in order to

ensure it's correct performance. This

work must be carried out by a

competent person with some

knowledge of electrical equipment.

Equipment required:

Multi-meter with leads;

Ammeter.

Using the equation P=VI the

approximate power output of the

equipment can be calculated in the

following way:

FR 230 Searchlight 6

Using the multi-meter take a

voltage reading;

Using the Ammeter, take an amps

reading from the live cable to the

lamp;

Multiply these values together to

give an approximate wattage.

For Example:

Using a 240v 1000w Tungsten

Halogen lamp,

Voltage reading : 240v

Amps reading: 4 amps

Therefore:

Wattage = 240 x4 = 960 watts.

Fault Finding

If a fault occurs the following

procedures should be adopted. Any

work to be carried out should be

conducted by a competent person. A

multimeter should be used for fault

finding purposes.

Fault

Lamp Fails to light

Causes

1) Power not supplied

2) Fuse blown

3) Failed lamp

Remedy

1) Check voltage at supply/battery. If

necessary recharge battery. If

supply is not present fault is at

customer supply. If power is

present, see remedy 2.

2) Check fuse for visual failure. If

none noticeable check fuse for

continuity. If fuse found to be

faulty, replace with new part. If

found to be working correctly see

remedy 3.

3) Firstly, check supply at lampholder

connecting block (within

searchlight barrel). If supply

present, disconnect unit from

power supply before removing

lamp. If noticeable damage to

filament is present, the lamp will

have failed. The lamp can also be

checked using a multimeter for

continuity of the filament. Replace

new lamp following all precautions

mentioned previously and lamp

manufacturers instructions.
