Page 3: Characteristics
All Rights Reserved. Characteristics The Maxa Beam 400 series handheld searchlights are lightweight, compact, high intensity illuminators which use a field replaceable 75 Watt Xenon short arc lamp and a precision electroformed reflector to provide the ultimate source for long range and wide angle portable illumination.

Page 4: Theory Of Operation
Do not look directly into the light at close distances. Do not immerse the Maxa Beam in water or allow water to enter the case. While the Maxa Beam is weather resistant, submersion in water will cause permanent damage to the light. -
Page 5: Searchlight Operation
Override low voltage protection 1) The Maxa Beam searchlights automatically shut down before they discharge a battery enough to damage it. At this point, there are usually several minutes of power left in the battery which can be accessed in an emergency by pushing the power button and holding it down. -
Page 6: Operation With Maxa Beam Optical Filters
Operation with Maxa Beam Optical Filters The Maxa Beam optional filters utilize a quick disconnect snap lock feature for ease and speed of installation or removal. There is a small blue indicator located on the top of the light housing just behind the front lens ring. -
Page 7: Lamp Replacement

Maxa Beam 12 Volt batteries consist of 10 NiCad F cells sealed into a weather tight enclosure. As with all NiCad batteries, these batteries should not be stored in a discharged condition and may be permanently damaged if excessively discharged. - Page 13 * Range Calculations are based on imaging produced useing a Watec 902-K camera with various 2.2 speed Rainbow Zoom Lenses with 1 µwatt of IR energy reaching the target. These tests were conducted on a clear moonless night with the Maxa Beam in a 1° spot on its high beam setting.
