    CHAPTER I GENERAL. This manual contains descriptive theory, installation procedures and maintenance instructions for the XR Series 500 Watt Marine Searchlight, Model 9304, which will hereinafter be referred to as the 500 Watt Searchlight (figure 1-1). NOTE All service and/or installation work on Xenon Searchlights should be preformed by a Qualified Marine Electrician!! DESCRIPTION.
  • Page 7 Extreme caution must be exercised when performing tests required while power is on. The XR Series Power Supply, PERKO # 9511-000-110 operates on 120 VAC, 60 Hz. (Standard) The XR Series Power Supply, PERKO # 9511-000-220 operates on 220VAC, Single Phase 60 Hz.
  • Page 8 CAUTION XR Series power supplies are factory wired for a specific input voltage. Do not connect the ship’s power to the Power Supply until a qualified technician determines that the ship’s voltage to be connected to the Power Supply is the same as that for which the Power Supply can accommodate.
  • Page 9 A remote ammeter is provided with the Power Supply. This instrument should be located in the pilot house at a convenient location so that the pilot on watch can monitor the current being supplied to the lamp. A current indication which falls within the 20 to 25 ampere range is satisfactory. Should the current indication fall outside this range.

    Immediately upon unpacking, check the contents of the shipping containers against the packing list. Make sure components are not dis- carded with the packing material. Report any shortages directly to PERKO, Inc. WARNING A spare xenon lamp may be shipped with a searchlight.
  • Page 11 (15). Tilt the Searchlight Head (window up) and install the rack support and rack assembly to the bot- tom of the Searchlight Head as shown in Drawing 9304-1. Tighten (finger-tight) rack mounting hardware to allow for final positioning when the rack engages the spur gear.
  • Page 12 The Power Supply unit is heavy and should be handled and installed by two or more persons. (1) The Power Supply for the XR Series Model 9304 500 Watt xenon searchlight is supplied in a NEMA electrical enclosure measuring 20-1/4 inches high by 16-1/4 inches wide by 9-1/4 inches deep.

    (4) In the pilot house, determine the desired location for the remote ammeter and the electrical con- trol panel. (5) Cut a 2 inch by 3 inch opening in the pilot house console for the electrical remote control panel. A minimum of 3 inches clearance is needed behind the console opening. (6) Using the remote control panel face plate as a template, drill four mounting holes, one in each corner.
  • Page 15: Chapter Iii Installation And Operational Checkout

    CHAPTER III INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONAL CHECKOUT NOTE The following checkout procedures are to be performed by competent technicians. PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECKS. Prior to applying power to the searchlight, all cabling should be rechecked for proper connections. Ship’s power should be off. The Power Supply circuit breaker should be in the OFF position and the remote control panel STANDBY/ON/IGNITE switch A3S1 should be in the STANDBY position.
  • Page 16 (3) Ignite the searchlight and direct the beam toward a relatively flat, vertical surface approximate- ly 100 feet away. (4) Swing spherical link downward away from the motion transfer arm. Physically move the motion transfer arm to obtain the desired beam pattern. Adjust the position of the spherical link until the retaining screw passes through the link and into the motion transfer arm without changing the position of the motion transfer arm.
  • Page 17: Chapter Iv Operating Procedures

    CHAPTER IV OPERATING PROCEDURES GENERAL. The following procedures provide the necessary information for lamp ignition, opera- tion and turn-off of the 500 Watt Searchlight. LAMP IGNITION.

    Power Supply assembly A1, searchlight head assembly A2, remote control panel A3, and remote current meter A4. Refer to Figure 9304 5-B for searchlight schematic diagram. The searchlight operates from a 115 VAC, 60 Hz power source which is applied through a 20 ampere cir- cuit breaker A1CB1 to transformer A1T1.

    Power Supply assembly A1, searchlight head assembly A2, remote control panel A3, and remote current meter A4. Refer to Figure 9304 7-B for searchlight schematic diagram. The searchlight operates from a 220 VAC, 60 Hz power source which is applied through a 15 ampere cir- cuit breaker A1CB1 to transformer A1T1.
  • Page 23 Transformer A1T1 provides 115 V to chopper assembly A1XA1 which is used to produce the 30 KV pulse ignite voltage for the xenon lamp A2DS1. When main contactor A1K1 is energized, approximately 80 VDC is applied between the anode and cathode of xenon lamp A2DS1.
  • Page 24 which provides 24 VDC and ground return to focus motor A2A1. With +24 VDC and ground return, the focus motor moves the focusing mechanism attached to the xenon lamp in or out. Setting VARIABLE BEAM WIDTH switch A3S2 to the up position provides +24 VDC to terminal 3 and ground return to terminal 1 of DC focus motor A2A1 driving the focusing mechanism in one direction.
