4. Setup and Installation
The SEAFLO searchlight is designed for quick and simple installation. Follow these steps for proper setup:
- Mounting Location: Choose a stable, flat surface on your boat, RV, truck, or other vehicle. Ensure the location allows for the full 360° rotation and 60° vertical sweep without obstruction.
- Cable Routing: The searchlight's power cable exits from the bottom of the unit. For a flush mount, a hole must be drilled through the mounting surface to accommodate the cable and its plug. Ensure the hole is large enough for the plug to pass through.
- Secure Mounting: Use appropriate fasteners (not included) to securely attach the searchlight base to the chosen surface.
- Wiring: Connect the searchlight to a 10-30V DC power source. Ensure correct polarity (red wire to positive, black wire to negative). It is recommended to install an inline fuse (not included) appropriate for the searchlight's 28W power consumption (e.g., a 3A fuse for 12V systems).
- Remote Control Connection: Connect the wired remote control to the designated port on the searchlight's power cable.
- Initial Test: After installation, perform a functional test to ensure all movements and light functions operate correctly before final use.
