Installing the searchlight
The searchlight can be mounted where desired, using 3/8" length stainless steel fasteners. Keep navigational aids,
antennas, etc., out of the beam path of the light. It is recommended to mount antennas 10 feet (3.05 meters) above the
light, at a minimum. Be sure the 4 nylon shoulder washers, supplied with the searchlight, have been inserted in the
searchlight base mounting holes to prevent a galvanic reaction between the mounting hardware and the base of the
searchlight. Also make sure that the mounting base gasket is securely in place before bolting down. Silicone grease
should be applied to the bottom of the gasket to help in waterproofing the unit.
When mounting, be sure that the unit is able to rotate 360° without hitting any obstructions. Refer to Figure 4 for mounting
details. Mount unit so that the ID label on the mounting base faces forward. This is the home position when light is reset.
See instructions on controls. See Section 4.2 for bulb installation.
CAUTION: The searchlight is not designed for inverted mounting.
CAUTION: Xenon-Arc lights emit electromagnet radiation, which may interfere with some communication or
navigation systems mounted on board.
The preferred location for communication and navigation equipment system antennas is at least 3 meters directly above
the light.
After the light is installed, all critical communication and navigation systems should be checked for proper operation with
the light turned ON and rotated in all directions.
