729829-P Control Panel
IMPORTANT ! READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING THIS PRODUCT. KEEP THESE INSTRUTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Mounting the Control Panel
-
Select a convenient mounting location for the control panel. Be sure you will have access to the area behind the location, and that you will be able to drill holes there without damaging existing wiring or structures. Do not place the control where it could interfere with the safe operation of the vessel or vehicle. Avoid mounting the control panel on a curved surface, or flat on its back in a location that would be exposed to direct rain or spray.
-
Use the small foam gasket included in the box as a template to mark the location of the holes to be drilled.
Drill two 3/16” (5mm) holes for the mounting screws and one ½” (13mm) hole in center through the mounting surface as shown in sketch below (not to scale), make sure that the holes are horizontal to each other. -
Feed all of the Control Panel wires through the center hole of the small gasket, then place the gasket underneath the control through the two threaded mounts.
Feed all the control wires through the ½” (13mm) drilled hole of mounting surface, a small amount of a nonsilicone sealant, (such as StarBrite® Boat Caulk #83801) can be applied where the wires penetrate the mounting surface.
Fasten the control onto mounting surface using the provided two flat fender washers and lock nuts. Tighten the nuts enough to slightly compress the small gasket.
Electrical Connections
The Guest Model 298-5, 503, & 503A spot/flood light has two types of wiring
connections.
They are:
- Power supply wires – the red (+ ) and black (− ) wires that bring 12 volts DC power to the spot/flood light and to the control panel.
- Control cable wires – the small wires within a gray casing that carry your commands from the control panel to the spot/flood light.
CAUTION!
DO NOT CONNECT THE CONTROL WIRES (with connectors) TO ANY POWER SUPPLY WIRES.
DO NOT REVERSE THE RED (POSITIVE) AND BLACK (NEGATIVE) POWER WIRES.
This spot/flood light requires a source of 12 volt DC power that is capable of
supplying 10 amps of current even when other equipment is operating. For best
results, run two new wires from the red (+ ) positive and black (− ) negative
power wires of the light directly to the main 12 volt DC accessory panel.
Install fuse and fuse holders as shown in diagram. A 10 amp circuit breaker
can be installed instead of an in-line 10 amp fuse. If the light will be less
than 30 feet (9m) from its power source, use 12 gauge (3mm) power supply
wires. If the distance will be more than 30 feet (9m), use 10 gauge (5mm)
wires.
An in-line fuse and holder should be installed on the red 22 awg power wire
for the control.
Complete the wiring connections as shown below:
Note: When connecting to a 298-5 spotlight you will need to cut off the terminals, strip insulation back, and splice into existing control cable by matching the same color.
Operation
To move the spotlight, press one of the directional switches firmly. By
pressing a horizontal switch and a vertical switch together, the light will
move both vertically and horizontally at the same time. Pressing the Green
center switch once will activate the 100 watt spotlight beam.
Pressing the same switch 2 or 4 times will turn off all lights. Pressing the
same switch 3 times will activate the 55 watt floodlight beam. This applies on
initial start up or if power has been disconnected.
Precautions
DO NOT look directly into the spotlight or floodlight while it is operating.
DO NOT cover the light with a fabric cover or any other flammable material.
Accidental activation may result in a fire hazard.
DO turn the spotlight toward the control station when not in use. If the
spotlight is accidentally activated during daylight, the operator will be more
likely to notice and turn the spotlight off before draining a battery.
