1 - Introduction It is imperative that this manual is read carefully and understood before installing your equipment. For your future reference please keep this manual in a safe place. Thank you for specifying a product from the Franc is Searchlights range.
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 search light into its fixi ng position, suitable lifting points must be used in order to prevent damage to the equipment or personal injury.
3 - Technical Information This product has been designed to operate in acco rdance with the product specification. The FX560RC 2000 watt searchlight has the following features: All marine grade ma.
Power Supply Details (Model 8502) General Description Output Power 1400-2200 watts Voltage 22-30 volts D.C. Current 50-85 amperes D.C.

Caution Do not allow anything to be placed upon the pow er supply case; the perf orated 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 spac e is available and local codes permit.
Warning The power supplies have two sources of power. Disconnect (turn off) primary power before making adjustments or service procedures. Output power adjustment Warning The power supply stores energy after primary power is switched off. Wa it a minimum of two minutes for the capacitor charge to bleed off.
Xenon lamp power supplies have two stages of operation: 1) Before igniting the bulb – At this time, t he voltage at the power supply output terminals reaches “open circuit” value (110 VDC or greater).
Low capacity or an open capacitor affect ignition because there is insufficient surge current to reliably light the bulb. If disconnecting a capacitor does change either flicker or ignition, then the capacitor is functioning. Reconnect it. High ripple current caused by a diode failure will result in overheating of R3.

4 - Unpacking and Installation Instructions The following instructions should be read and full y understood prior to installing the equipment to ensure that the correct proc edures are followed and all safe ty precautions are observed.
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.
Installation Guidelines A typical installation and connection routine for t he searchlight with a Variable Speed Gearbox is as follows: Referring to wiring diagram C22801, a supply is fed to the Control Panel, which then provides a common feed to the Motor Gearbox, Power Suppl y Unit and the Searchlight Control Panel.
Fitting instructions for the 2Kw xenon lamp Referring to the diagram overleaf: 1) Unfasten the ten latches (A) on the front and rear of the searchlight; 2) Remove the front bezel (B) and rear bezel (C.

6 - Operating Instructions This equipment is designed for use out of doors, in free air. Never place anything on, or cover, the searchlight when in use as this may present a hazard. All PSU should be housed below deck/in doors. Never leave the PSU exposed to weather conditions.
Setting to Work Safe service in use necessitates the stri ct observance of the following precautions. Any article fabricated from quartz or gl ass is inherently fragile and care should therefore be taken, at all times, when handling lamps; Eye protection must be worn when handling lamps that have been removed from their packaging materials.
Notes : 1) XBO lamps are designed for dc operation only. The dc current may only be varied within the limits of the current control range. An XBO lamp operates best at rated current; over the life of the lamp, the current may be increased to its ma ximum value to compensate for loss of light.
7- Fault Finding All fault finding must be conducted by a competent person or qualified Electrical Engineer. Please refer to the following table fo r the trouble-shooting of Xenon lamps.
Failure of Lamp to Ignite In the event of the xenon lamp failing to light the following steps should be taken: 1) Check that the mains supply is connected to the input of the PSU.
8 - Maintenance and Servicing In order to prolong the service life and performance of your searchlight, the following maintenance guidelines are recommended: Maintenance checks should be conducted.
