WARNINGS AND INFORMATION 1. WARNINGS AND INFORMATION High voltage! Before opening any part of the searchlight system, make sure all power is switched off! Bulbs HID (High-intensity discharge) bulbs operate at a high internal pressure and high temperature and should be handled with care. Never bump, drop, apply excessive stress, or scratch the bulb.
WARNINGS AND INFORMATION UV-light! (models -12, -21, -22) The UV-light used by ColorLight is chosen for most efficient result in marine applications. The wavelengths are below 400 nanometers, thus not visible for the human eye. An intensive radiation is generated from the high luminance of the arch inside the bulb and should not be glared into from close distance. Intentionally ColorLight is allowing a small leakage of white light making the beam vaguely detectable in fog.
WARNINGS AND INFORMATION Light beam heat damage and Ethernet communications guard OP WDT This searchlight is built for use on long distances and the high-intensity light from the searchlight can, if set at a narrow beam, cause severe damage to surfaces closer than 1 meter. To avoid that the searchlight is forgotten with the light on, always use the feature “off and park” when not using the searchlight.
COLORLIGHT SEARCHLIGHT SYSTEM 2. COLORLIGHT SEARCHLIGHT SYSTEM ColorLight has with its newly developed control system for searchlights opened for a flexible and future-proof system in which several searchlight assemblies (CL20, CL25 and CL35) and operator panels can be connected to a dedicated network and communicate via the Ethernet infrastructure. Control-computers and navigation equipment are other examples of devices that can be part of this network.
OPERATOR PANEL, OVERVIEW 3. OPERATOR PANEL, OVERVIEW 9 1 1 2 5 3 6 4 7 8 1. "Soft button": the function appears in the display window next to the button. 2. Left lamp on/off, standard for -12, -21 (optional for -11, -22 if “Single lamp mode” = On *1). 3. Left focus (same function as No.4 *2), (move left to spot *3). 4. Left focus (same function as No.3 *2), (move left to flood *3). 5. Right lamp on/off, standard for -12, -21 (optional for -11, -22 if “Single lamp mode” = On *1). 6.
DISPLAY SYMBOLS AND MESSAGES 4. DISPLAY SYMBOLS AND MESSAGES Symbol for switched off white light. Symbol for switched on white light. Error symbol for white light indicates a problem during switch on or if the bulb breaks down during operation. The operator has three switch-on attempts in a two minute interval without setting the sum alarm output. This symbol is only valid for CL25 and CL35 (CL20 does not have this feature). Symbol for switched off UV light (black light).
DISPLAY SYMBOLS AND MESSAGES This symbol indicates that the bulb has less than 200 hours left of expected lifetime. This warning can be chosen by the operator to be shown or not. Please see 11.8.4 Lamp life for more detailed instruction. Each bulb has its own symbol showing in the lower left or right corner of the display. This symbol indicates that the expected lifetime of the bulb now has expired.
ACTIONS AFTER INSTALLATION OR POWER FAILURE 5. ACTIONS AFTER INSTALLATION OR POWER FAILURE At system startup, the panels will start to scan the network to find connected electrical boxes, during this time, the panel software version will be displayed. If not the panel made contact by displaying home screen within 30 seconds, it may be due to the following: Electrical box is not turned on, applies only if the panel has a separate power supply.
STARTING SYSTEM 6. STARTING SYSTEM When the system is in sleep the buttons and symbols glows with orange light and the display is totally shut down to save power. Buttons and symbols are always active but dimmed to a lower intensity during sleep. Pressing any button on the operator panel will activate the system and the display will now show the position indicator* image or just the ColorLight logotype.
JOYSTICK FUNCTIONS 7. JOYSTICK FUNCTIONS The joystick (8) moves the searchlight horizontally and vertically. There are no limitations to the movement of the searchlight thanks to the slip ring technology developed by ColorLight. The more the joystick is moved to its end position the faster the searchlight rotates. Searchlight rotation speed can be set, see 11.8.5 Maximum rotation speed. The vertical axis reaction according to the joysticks movement can be reversed if decided by operator.
SWITCH ON LIGHT 8. SWITCH ON LIGHT The searchlight is equipped with two bulbs with either double white (CLXX-11) or double UV (CLXX-22) or a combination of white and UV light. As default the double white or double UV will be turned on by pressing button(2) or (5), both lights will then be lit with a slight delay in between, no matter which button is used. To turn off the light, press button (2) or (5) again.
FOCUS 9. 9.1 FOCUS Type 1, continuous focus (standard) Note: Button numbers below refers to OPERATOR PANEL, OVERVIEW. Spot Flood Pressing the focus buttons (3) or (4) changes the focus for the left lamp house and buttons (6) or (7) changes focus for the right lamp house. Release the button when the required focus is found. As long as a focus button is pressed the bulb moves in and out which changes the focus of the light between 4-20 degrees for model CL20, CL25 and 3-20 degrees for model CL35.
FOCUS 9.2 Type 2, absolute focus (optional for CL25) Note: Button numbers below refers to OPERATOR PANEL, OVERVIEW. Spot Flood This feature enables adjusting a defined beam width (focus) of the lamps by means of a step motor.

MAIN MENU 11.8 Settings This opens a new menu with six sub menus. 11.8.1 Backlight brightness (adjust the button´s/ display light intensity) In this menu the light intensity of the button LEDs and display is set. The adjustment is done by moving the joystick forward for increasing the intensity and backward to decrease. Select 0%, button lights will turn of completely. The choice is confirmed with “OK”. 11.8.
MAIN MENU 11.8.3 Joystick direction Some operators want to have their joystick to move the lamp housing vertically in the same direction as the joysticks physical direction: (joystick up=lamp housing moving upwards), this is called “Inverted” in the menu. Normally the joystick acts like an aeroplane joystick: (joystick up=lamp housing moving downwards), this is called “Normal” in the menu.
MAIN MENU 11.8.4 Lamp life In this menu there are two sub menus, “Lamp life statistics” and “Lamp life warning”. “Lamp life statistics” menu will show a display similar to the status display in 11.7 Status. The only difference is that no errors will be presented in this display. “Lamp life warning” menu will make it possible for the operator to choose if the lamp life warning feature should be activated or not. See 8. SWITCH ON LIGHT.
MAIN MENU 11.8.5 Maximum rotation speed This menu gives the operator the opportunity to limit the actual maximum rotation speed of the searchlight in relation to its absolute maximum rotation speed. The adjustment is done by moving the joystick forward to change speed in increments of 5% and backwards to decrease. Minimum speed is 20% and maximum 100%, when the choice is confirmed with "OK", the display jump back to the previous "Settings" - menu.
MAIN MENU 11.8.6 Installation In this menu there are six sub menus each described below: 11.8.6.1 Store origin This menu is used to calibrate the systems “ZERO” point for both vertical and horizontal axis. Before the “Store origin” command is stored it is necessary that the synchronization between operator panel and electrical box is done properly. The easiest way to do the synchronization is by turning the system off with the “Park” command, please see 10.6 Off and park. Start the system according to 6.
MAIN MENU 11.8.6.2 Store park position This menu enables the storing of a park position (lamp housing pointing at any direction when the “Park” command is selected. Before changing the default park position it’s necessary that the synchronization between operator panel and electrical box is done properly. The easiest way to do the synchronization is by just turn the system off with the “Park” command, please see 10.6 Off and park.
MAIN MENU 11.8.6.3 Name system The dedicated ColorLight network can contain several searchlights and operator panels. To make the whole network easy to navigate; each electrical box and its corresponding searchlight can be named to a well-known name for the operator. The name is set by moving the joystick up and down to select correct character. To move to next character in the name the joystick is moved to the right.
MAIN MENU 11.8.6.4 Start test sequence This menu starts a test sequence which tests the movement of the lamp housings and focus for each lamp house one at a time. The test sequence will perform as follows: At test sequence startup the lamp housing will be moved to parking position. The horizontal axis will be rotated one full revolution clockwise. The vertical axis will be rotated one full revolution clockwise. The left lamp houses focus motor is activated during 10seconds.
MAIN MENU 11.8.6.5 Single lamp mode (standard function available from ver. 0.5.3.11) Note: Button numbers below refers to OPERATOR PANEL, OVERVIEW. Normally, for double white (CLXX-11) or double UV (CLXX-22) configuration one wants to ignite both bulbs simultaneously and thereby obtain maximum light intensity with the push of a single button. However, there are occasions when it may be useful to give each bulb a dedicated light button, this setting is done in the "Single lamp mode" menu.
MAIN MENU 11.8.6.6 OP Rotation (standard function available from ver. 0.5.2.10) This menu is used if you have mounted an operator panel pointing in a different direction than towards the bow of the boat. The defaults setting when delivered (0 degrees) requires that the operator panel is mounted pointing towards the bow of the boat, see illustration on page 44.
