[. . . ] The user must supply the cable and/or wire to power the unit. The source must be a fused 24 VDC, 10 Amp supply. This cable is to be attached to the Searchlight as shown in the connection diagram, Figure 1. Observe polarities when attaching wires! FIGURE 1 3 Y1-03-0139 Rev. C 3. 2 Remote Control Panel (Master) The Remote Control Panel can be mounted where desired using proper marine grade mounting hardware. For water-resistant installation, some sort of gasketing (neoprene sheet, silicone sealant, etc. ) may be used. In all cases, the Remote Control Panel should be mounted in a protected area. Refer to Figure 2 for mounting and wiring details. FIGURE 2 4 Y1-03-0139 Rev. C 3. 3 Wiring of Remote Control Panel (see Figure 3) The Remote Control Panel is received with a 6-foot long, 20 AWG cable. The cable will already be attached to the searchlight and should be connected to the remote control panel connector to row.

Keep navigational aids / GPS antennas out of the beam path of the light. It is recommended to mount antenna 10 feet behind the light 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, and also 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. Mount unit so that the ID label on mounting base faces forward. This is the home position when light is reset. (See instructions on controls) 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. 5 Y1-03-0139 Rev. C The preferred location for communication and navigation equipment systems antenna 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 all around. FIGURE 4 6 Y1-03-0139 Rev.
