MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE PLAN 3.
Although the system does not require regular maintenance to function, we recommend,
however, that this preventive maintenance plan is followed in order to keep the searchlight in
good condition and in time detect if something is wrong and needs to be corrected.
Recommended inspection on a weekly basis
1. Make visual inspection of the searchlight housing and cabling. Look for any potential
mechanical damage caused by external force. A damage can lead to reduced or non-
functionality.
2. Make a visual inspection of the searchlight glasses. Verify that they are without any
crack or broken in any way. A crack can lead to water penetration inside the housing
followed by potential electrical and mechanical problem.
3. Perform a function test. Start up the searchlight system, rotate the searchlight in
hor izontal and vertical direction. Check the “lamp life” statistics in order to plan any
potential replacement of bulb. The system is programmed to give a warning when there
is less than 130h of lamp bulb lifetime remaining.
4. Clean the searchlight. Rinse with fresh water to wash away the salt deposits. If more
dirty, use a very soft sponge and soap that is not caustic, contains strong solvents such
as acetone or thinner base. The house can be both polished and waxed for a shiny and
durable surface, but the glass should under no circumstances be waxed. Under no
circumstances can the searchlights be washed with high pressure water as this can lead
to penetration inside the housing followed by potential electrical and mechanical
problem.
5. Deicing. Winter time the system should be deiced with caution. First turn the lights on to
let the heat melt the ice before operating the system horizontally and vertically.
