Caution
Do not allow anything to be placed upon the power supply case; the perforated top is for
ventilation and must not be obstructed.
Try to select a location as close to the lamphouse as practical. Many users install the power supply
adjacent to the searchlight where space is available and local codes permit.
Electrical installation and connection
Caution
Much future grief can be avoided by having a competent electrical contractor install and
connect this unit.
Caution
We make suggestions in this manual as to minimum wire sizes to be used. Refer to, and
conform to the codes applicable in your area.
Caution
Observe polarity of the conductors which carry the D.C. output of the power supply to the
lamphouse. Reversed polarity will immediately destroy the xenon bulb upon application of
power.
Warning
When the electrical installation is complete there are two sources of primary power within
the unit. Turn off all power when adjusting or servicing the power supply.
Warning
This unit can run warm to very hot. Allow at least 15 minutes after turning off the power for
the unit and its components to cool down before attempting any service procedures.
Holes are provided in the end section of the power supply case for conduit entries. Install conduit in
a manner which allows some movement for service if required. Refer to drawings for connection
information.
