PREFACE The SEL10 is a 10,000 watt xenon searchlight mounted on a rotating base. The angle and direction of light projection are independently adjustable through a 360° arc in either direction, and lock manually in the desired position. The unit is mounted on a trailer and powered by a diesel engine- generator unit.

INSTALLATION (continued) Remove a side panel from the base assembly to gain access to the bridge rectifier of one of the xenon power supplies. Use either the positive (red) or negative (black) lead at the top of the rectifier heat sink as a connection point for the clamp-on ammeter.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR REMOVING AND INSTALLING A TYPE “THS” XENON BULB IN A SEL10 FIXTURE NOTE FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE LOCATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF THE COMPONENTS OF THIS SYSTEM AND ALSO THE NORMAL OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY ADJUSTMENT OR SERVICE.
Page 6
DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE PRIOR TO BULB INSTALLATION: 1. RELEASE THE (4) FASTENERS LOCATED AT THE SMALL SIDES OF THE COWL BY PRESSING IN ON THE FASTENERS AND PULLING FORWARD TO REMOVE THE COWLING. 2. REMOVE THE (2) BRASS BOLTS CONNECTING THE SHORT LEADS TO THE FRONT BULB HOLDER USING A 7/16"...
Page 7
WARNING DO NOT APPLY ANY PRESSURE ON THE BULB WHILE REASSEMBLING THE FRONT BULB HOLDER! 3. REPLACE THE CLAMP AND REINSTALL THE (2) CLAMP RETAINING SCREWS LOCATED ON THE SIDE OF THE BULB SWIVEL HUB USING A 5/32" ALLEN WRENCH. 4.

DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE IF THERE IS A LAMP IS INSTALLED IN THE FIXTURE: 1. RELEASE THE (4) FASTENERS LOCATED AT THE SMALL SIDES OF THE COWL BY PRESSING IN ON THE FASTENERS AND PULLING FORWARD TO REMOVE THE COWLING. CAUTION DO NOT PLACE ANY EXCESSIVE FORCE ON THE LAMP WHILE REPLACING THE PROTECTIVE WRAPPER! 2.

REMOVING A FROZEN BULB (CONTINUED) 3. ONCE THE BULB IS FREE, DO NOT REMOVE IT COMPLETELY FROM THE REAR LAMP HOLDER. 4. RETURN TO STEP 5 OF THE PRECEDING SECTION. OUTPUT POWER ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES NOTE FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE LOCATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF THE COMPONENTS OF THIS SYSTEM AND ALSO THE NORMAL OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY ADJUSTMENT OR SERVICE.
Page 10
ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS (continued) 3. Ignite the xenon bulb and check the current. Allow (30) seconds for the current to stabilize and provide an accurate reading. If the current is not within the desired range, extinguish the bulb. It will be necessary to increase or decrease the DC output. 4.

2. #5 WELDERS GLASSES OR VERY DARK SUNGLASSES WARNING THE SEL10 SYSTEMS PROJECT A VERY INTENSE BEAM OF FULL SPECTRUM LIGHT. THE USE OF DARK GLASSES WHILE ADJUSTING THE BEAM PARAMETERS ON A LIGHT COLORED REFLECTIVE SURFACE AT A CLOSE DISTANCE IS MANDATORY.
Page 12
FOCUS AND X-Y ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS (continued) 7. Readjust the focus screw to set the desired beam spread. 8. Replace the front cowl reposition the lamp head and resecure the position locking fasteners. XENON BULB MAINTENANCE Allow the blowers to operate for at least (15) minutes after extinguishing the arc. This measure is required by the bulb manufacturer to comply with bulb warranty conditions.
Page 17
POWER SUPPLY MAINTENANCE VERY LITTLE MAINTENANCE is required to keep this power supply in good operating condition. Like most lighting equipment, cleaning is the most important element. WARNING Turn off ALL primary AC power before making any adjustments or performing serv- ice procedures.
Page 18
CONTROL CIRCUITRY (continued) ANY INTERRUPTION of the control circuit will disable K1 and open the AC circuit to the rectifier. In addition to the above lamphead interlock switches, thermal switch TS1, mounted to the rectifier heat sink, will open and disable K1 if the temperature at the heat sinks exceeds 190° F. (88° C.). The TS1 switch will automatically re-set when temperatures fall to safe levels.
Page 19
POWER SUPPLY TROUBLESHOOTING Contactor does not energize (no audible “click”). 1. Line safety switch open. Turn “ON.” 2. Circuit breaker or fuse in AC line open. Check AC source. 3. Faulty contactor coil or loose connection at coil terminals. Repair or replace. Contactor pulls but lamphouse igniter does not fire.
Page 20
ALLOW THE LAMPHEAD to cool, with all blowers operating, for at least (20) minutes before opening. Normal Operation: The lamphead blower will start when the generator first supplies power to the SEL10. When the control panel SYSTEM switch S1 is in the “ON” position, the elapsed time meter will operate, the power supply blowers will start, and the AC circuit (5 - 6) to the xenon power supply will energize the circuitry necessary to supply DC voltage to the igniter and bulb.
Page 21
Troubleshooting (continued) With the squirrelcage blower operating, the air plenum should compress, completing the circuit to the igniter. The elapsed time meter should start to indicate elapsed time. If this meter does not operate, check for continuity at the SYSTEM switch. Check continuity of the air pressure switch; should read 0 Ohms between “NO”...
Page 22
Troubleshooting (continued) Bulb goes out during operation. 1. Xenon power supply overheated; thermal switch open. Check power supply blower(s), air inlets and outlets unobstructed. 2. Lamphead blower B1 failed or obstructed. Clean dust and dirt from blower squirrelcage. Check for 230 V.AC at 2 & 3; replace blower if defective. 3.
