3. Remove the two screws on the back of the transmitter with a Philips screwdriver.

4. With a coin, lightly pry open the transmitter case using the slot in the bottom corner opposite the key ring hole.

5. Carefully separate the case halves.

6. Carefully remove the circuit board and adjust the code switches to a new setting, (See figure A for switch location).
   a. The position of each of the eight switches may be changed by using a small stiff object such as the end of a paper clip, or the end of a mechanical pencil with the lead retracted
   b. NOTE: It does not matter which code is chosen provided that all wireless transmitters in the system are set to the same code.

7. Record setting for any additional wireless transmitters.

8. Make sure membrane and top cover is re- assembled correctly with buttons protruding fully.

9. Carefully snap top cover / membrane on to lower assembly. It should only take light pressure to snap in place.

10. Test battery connection by pressing any of the buttons. When doing so, the red LED indicator should turn on in the upper left hand corner. If the LED does not illuminate, separate the covers and check the battery polarity. If the battery polarity is correct, replace the battery. See Figure 1, page 3, in section titled
    Installing Transmitter Battery.

11. Re-install the 2 screws on the back cover and tighten them.

Initializing the System

1. Connect the red wire from the light to 12V DC power (+) and the black wire to ground (-). (Connections-minimum 14 gauge wire). The power must be fused for 10  Amps.
2. Within 5 seconds of applying power to the light you must activate the unit with your wireless transmitter by pressing the green On/Off button 2-3 times.
3. If pressing the green On/Off button does not turn the light on and off, try pressing the directional control buttons to see if the light moves in the direction indicated. If there is no movement check to make sure the wiring to the spotlight is correct and measures approximately 12 volts DC. Disconnect power to the spotlight for 5  seconds then reconnect power and press the green On/Off button to register the transmitter frequency. If you still have a problem, call the Guest Company Service Department. See page 10 for contact information.

Operation

You are now ready to operate the light. For directional control, the wireless transmitter works as shown below:

On the wireless transmitter the light is turned on and off by using the green On/Off button. The light can be turned on with the main wireless transmitter or any secondary  wireless transmitters.
The spotlight rotates 355 degrees. It has a built in stop to prevent more than 355degree rotation.
The spotlight vertical adjustment is approximately 80 degrees. Built in stops prevent over travel.
The range of operation of the radio-controlled system is approximately 100 feet (30.5M) under normal conditions. A weak battery or obstacles will reduce this range.

Mounting the Wireless Transmitter for console control operation

1. Remove the wireless transmitter from the plastic console-mounting bracket by slightly bending the tab back to release the wireless transmitter from bracket.
2. Place the wireless transmitter in the desired location and orientation. Test systems by operating the spotlight in all directions to verify you do not have interference  between the locations.
3. The location for mounting the bracket should be a smooth, flat surface. Be sure you will have access to the underside of the chosen location, and that you will be able to  drill holes there without damaging existing wiring or structures.
4. Use the bracket as a template to mark mounting holes on a flat surface that is convenient for operation of the light.
5. It is recommended to use marine grade plywood as a back plate to strengthen the installation.
6. Drill the two 3/16 (4.5 mm) holes through the mounting surface at the marked points.
7. Apply a small amount of non-silicone sealant (such as StarBrite®Boat Caulk #83801) where the screws penetrate the mounting surface.
8. Fasten the bracket securely to the mounting surface using the two 6-32 x2” (3.5mm x 50mm) flat head stainless steel screws, flat washers, and locknuts provided with the light. Do not over tighten.

Battery Replacement

Only the wireless transmitter requires a battery. Replace only with a 12 Volt Alkaline A23 battery. See section on page 3 titled Installing Transmitter Battery.

Troubleshooting

Under normal use, your Guest Model 501 Beamer Remote Controlled Spotlight will provide you with many years of reliable service. If your unit should become damaged by a  severe impact, we recommend that you contact the Guest Company Service Department. See page 12 for contact information.

If an operational problem occurs:

1. Confirm that all fuses are intact. If a fuse has blown, do not replace the fuse until the cause of the problem has been located and corrected. NEVER replace a blown fuse with a higher value fuse.

2. Most problems are caused by poor wiring connections. Confirm that all wiring connections are accurate and well made. The connections of the wires are important and  should be soldered and then taped, or connected using weatherproof phone splices. Be sure that the spotlight is connected to a DC power source capable of supplying at  least 12 volts at 10 amps even while other equipment is operating.

3. If the spotlight does not move or light:
   a. Observe the wireless transmitter. The Red light on the transmitter should turn on whenever a button is pressed. If it does not, first check the internal battery polarity, if correct then replace the transmitter.
   b. Disconnect the 12 Volt DC power from the spotlight. Reconnect the 12 Volt DC power to the spotlight. Press the green On/Off button 2-3 times within 5 seconds of applying power to the light.
   c. Remove the 4 bolts that fasten the spotlight onto the mounting surface and gently lift the unit until you can see inside its base. Avoid cutting any wires. Gently inspect the wiring inside the base for broken connections. Examine the circuit board for loosened plug connectors, blackened components or corrosion. Replace the circuit  board if it appears damaged. If there are no loose wires or signs of water penetration, re-install the spotlight and then replace the wireless transmitter. If there are signs of  damage, contact The Guest Company Service Department for advice. See page 12 for contact information.
   Have available information on how and where the spotlight was installed.

4. If the spotlight moves properly but does not light, examine the halogen bulb. Replace it if it appears discolored or broken. If the bulb appears to be normal, test for a  faulty relay by listening at the base of the light while someone else activates the bulb using the control. If no “click” is audible, or if a “chattering” sound is heard, replace  the relay. Note: Low voltage or a faulty circuit board may cause similar symptoms.

5. If the spotlight will not move left or right but operates normally otherwise, listen at the base of the light while someone else presses the left/right directional buttons. If  the lower motor makes no sound when it is activated, replace the lower motor.
   If your light has a problem that is not described above, contact the Guest Service Department for advice (see page 12 for contact information). Be sure to have available  a detailed description of the problem, proof of purchase (if requesting warranty service), and your daytime telephone, fax number, or e-mail address.
