manual.

Should you ever need to contact Francis Searchlights Ltd. regarding your equipment, please

quote the Product Serial Number at all times.

2 - 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 unpacking or manoeuvring the searchlight into its fixing position, suitable

lifting points must be used in order to prevent damage to the equipment or personal

injury.

◼Because of the high internal pressure within the lamp, there is a risk of explosion in either a

hot or cold state;

◼During operation this lamp emits intense UV radiation which is harmful to the eyes and

skin. Suitable protection should be worn;

◼The high luminance of the arc can cause severe damage to the eye if viewed directly.

ALWAYS wear suitable protective goggles when viewing the lamp;

◼Always use protective jackets supplied with the lamp;

◼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;

◼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 disposing of lamps there are several options available:

◼Return the lamp, via the supplier, to the lamp manufacturer in its complete

packaging

◼Because of the cold internal pressure of the lamp is approximately 8 bar,

the lamp must first be depressurized before disposal. Place the lamp, in its

protective jacket, in a plastic bag and drop from a height of 1 to 2 metres

onto a hard surface;

◼XBO lamps do not contain materials which are harmful to the environment and thus are not

subject to special waste disposal regulations;

◼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 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.

4 - Unpacking and Installation Instructions

The following instructions should be read and fully understood prior to installing the equipment

to ensure that the correct procedures are followed, and all safety precautions are observed.

Note: If the equipment has been in storage for a considerable amount of time, it is

advisable to conduct a routine maintenance check on all parts before installation.

Safety Precautions

This equipment should not be connected to an electrical supply before being installed.

Installation procedures should be adhered to in order to ensure a safe working environment

and reduce the risk of damage or personal injury.

Preparing the Mounting Position

Mark out and drill the fixing holes through the deck. Fit the ‘O’ ring in position and bolt the

searchlight base securely. On an uneven surface it is necessary to use a suitable sealant, such

as silicone in order to ensure a weatherproofed joint. If anti-vibration mounts are to be fitted,

the fixing holes for the mounts should also be marked out and drilled. Prior to manoeuvring the

searchlight into its’ fixing position, the AV mounts should be fitted to the base. When in the

desired position, bolt the searchlight firmly down.

5 - Electrical Installation

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 mains supply, provision must

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

The PSU should NOT be positioned any more than 5 meters away from the

Searchlight with the standard 4 cores 16mm cable supplied, if this distance needs to

be extended a larger cross-sectional cable will need to be fitted.

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

supply cable.

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

Blue - Negative

Green/Yellow - Earth

Note: This equipment must be earthed.

Installation Guidelines

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

Referring to wiring diagram C27527, a supply is fed to the PSU, which then provides a common

feed to all other functions and equipment.

Cables required to be connected by the customer: -

4 cores 16mm cable from the Searchlight to the PSU

3 cores 2.5mm cable from the Searchlight to the PSU

(Customer may need to provide a suitable junction box to extend these cables –3 metres

supplied).

The Mains cable to the PSU to be supplied by the customer

The searchlight head is pre-wired

Basic Operation

When the searchlight is switched on a supply is fed to the PSU and linked to the ignitor. Also,

from the PSU, a dc output is fed to the lamp.

The ignitor ionises the gas within the lamp and this strikes the light.
