WARRANTY CONDITIONS CLITE2 2.
A correctly installed searchlight system from Colorlight requires no planned regular maintenance
or service during the first 10 years in operation.
The “Maintenance and Service plan” describes how to keep the product in good condition.
The warranty is conditioned by below mentioned key points.
Before powering up the unit, make sure that:
Vibration dampers are mounted correctly according to this installation manual.
The mechanical fundament where the searchlight is placed is robust.
Warranty seal on the service hatch is unbroken.
Outgoing cable radius from the searchlight is smooth and not stressed.
All cables used for the installations are as per Colorlight’s specifications or as per
separate made agreement.
Signal cables are not placed together with high power cables.
Electrical connections are made according to electrical scheme and wiring diagram.
Length of cables are not exceeding the recommended maximum lengths as stated
below:
Power/signal cables between searchlight and E-box for 100-240VAC-system: Max
30 meter
Power cables between searchlight and E-box for 24 VDC-system: Max 7 meter
Remote cable / Ethernet cable between E-box and remote control: Max 100 meter
(longer distance requires an amplifier or fibre optic version).
E-box (EB) is placed in an non-condense environment with a minimum temperature of
+5 C (indoor) if not customised for other installation.
The remote panel (OP) is bridge mounted in an IP56 environment. If placed outside it
must be under a protection hood when not in use.

INSTALLATION & USER'S MANUAL CLITE2 Page 7
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE PLAN 3.
Although the system does not require regular maintenance to function, we recommend,
however, that this preventive maintenance plan is followed in order to keep the searchlight in
good condition and in time detect if something is wrong and needs to be corrected.
Recommended inspection on a weekly basis
1. Make visual inspection of the searchlight housing and cabling. Look for any potential
mechanical damage caused by external force. A damage can lead to reduced or nonfunctionality.
2. Make a visual inspection of the searchlight glasses. Verify that they are without any
crack or broken in any way. A crack can lead to water penetration inside the housing
followed by potential electrical and mechanical problem.
3. Perform a function test. Start up the searchlight system, rotate the searchlight in
horizontal and vertical direction.
4. Clean the searchlight. Rinse with fresh water to wash away the salt deposits. If more
dirty, use a very soft sponge and soap that is not caustic, contains strong solvents such
as acetone or thinner base. The house can be both polished and waxed for a shiny and
durable surface, but the glass should under no circumstances be waxed. Under no
circumstances can the searchlights be washed with high pressure water as this can lead
to penetration inside the housing followed by potential electrical and/or mechanical
problem.
5. Deicing. Winter time the system should be deiced with caution. First turn the lights on to
let the heat melt the ice before operating the system horizontally and vertically.
Page 8 INSTALLATION & USER'S MANUAL CLITE2
COLORLIGHT SEARCHLIGHT SYSTEM 4.
Colorlight has with its newly developed control system for searchlights opened for a flexible and
future-proof system in which several searchlight assemblies (CLITE2, CLED, CL20, CL25 and
CL35/38) 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.
For external communication between the electrical box and its various controllers we use the
TCP / IP protocol through the Ethernet infrastructure.
For internal communication between the box and searchlight we have chosen to work with CAN
bus technology. CAN (Controller Area Network) is a network standard originally developed for
the automotive industry and with only two wires it’s possible to transmit a variety of control data
and information.
The searchlights drive motors (horizontal and vertical) are of the type brushless servo motors,
with excellent performance, long lifetime and high reliability.
The motor drivers are located inside the searchlight and are of an "intelligent" type, which
constantly analyzes the motor condition, and if problems arise, such as tripped over current
protection; this will be presented as an alarm in the operator panel.

DISPLAY SYMBOLS AND MESSAGES 6.
Symbol for switched off white light.
Symbol for switched on white light.
Symbol for any electro-mechanic error. Might be referred as an over voltage or
over current for motor drivers. Communication error with motor drivers will result in
the same symbol. This error symbol can be reset by simply enter the main menu
and select status. Then press “dismiss”. If over current have occurred the problem
might be referred as a stucked lamp housing – check for any icing issues. Each
axis has its own symbol showing in upper left or right corner of the display.
This symbol and a similar symbol indicate the direction of the lamp housing both
for the vertical axis and for the horizontal axis. The arrows in the shown symbol
indicate the elevation angle for the vertical axis according to the horizontal-plane.
For the horizontal symbol and axis these small arrows indicate if the housing is
directed to the left, front, right or back of the centerline.
If the arrows are replaced by question marks then the system needs to be
internally calibrated. The easiest way to do the internal calibration is by simply
choose the “Park” in the quick start menu, please see 14.6 Off and park.

INSTALLATION 7.
Liftingthesearchlight7.1
Preferable lift the searchlight by
the temporary lift loop on top of
the center house. After safely
lift loop.
During the lift, the searchlight
cables must be secured to the
hook to avoid straining and
damage on the cable glands.
The picture on the right shows
how to place the lifting slings
when there is no lift loop
available.
Also in this case the searchlight
cables must be secured to the
hook to avoid straining and
damage on the cable glands.
This instruction shows how to install the anti-vibration kit which consists of four dampers with
integrated stainless steel tubes.
The dampers main function is to absorb the harmful vibrations that can damage the mechanics
and shorten the life of the bulbs (CL20, CL25 CL35/38). Searchlight installations without
dampers will uncompromisingly, void the warranty.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 9.
IMPORTANT!
The electric supply to the e-box must be disconnected before beginning any work inside
the box; it’s not enough to turn off the internal main switch.
Electrical box mounting position 9.1
The electrical control box must be mounted on a wall as shown below, do not mount horizontally
on the floor or in ceiling as this leads to reduced airflow with increased risk of overheated
components.

Operator panel connections 9.6
The operator panel is designed to be immersed into the bridge panel, for dimensions, see
drawing in section 17.2.1 Operator Panel.
The following connections are available on the back of the panel:
1. Power supply 9-28 VDC via local power supply on the boat or 24VDC via terminals in
the E-box. One of the benefits of supplying power to the panel from the box is that the
panel will be de-energized together with the e-box via the main switch.
2. Ethernet connection directly to the electrical cabinet or Ethernet switch via RJ45
connector. Shielded Keystone Modular Feed through Coupler, RJ45-RJ45 included.
3. Earth connection to the panel, this is needed to suppress electrical disturbances and
prevent ESD discharge damaging.
Electrical protection:
The panel is protected against wrong polarity and over-current protected by an internal, type:
T1A (Slow-Blow glass fuse 5x20mm).

Ethernet wiring 9.7
Colorlight searchlight systems should be connected to their own dedicated network; they should
never be connected into the vessels existing computer network.
An Ethernet cable supplied from Colorlight complies with the standard TIA/EIA-568-B and is
always tested together with the complete searchlight system to ensure full functionality.
If customers choose to assemble their own Ethernet cables they must be of type FPT Cat5 or
better and the connections should be done according to the following information.
Note that the only difference between T568A and T568B is that pairs 2 and 3 (orange and
green) are swapped. Both configurations wire the pins "straight through", i.e., pins 1 through 8
on one end are connected to pins 1 through 8 on the other end. Also, the same sets of pins
connect to the opposite ends that are paired in both configurations: pins 1 and 2 form a pair, as
do 3 and 6, 4 and 5, and 7 and 8.
One can use cables wired according to either configuration in the same installation without
significant problem. The primary thing one has to be careful of, is not to accidentally wire the
ends of the same cable according to different configurations
INSTALLATION & USER'S MANUAL CLITE2 Page 25
ACTIONS AFTER INSTALLATION AND POWER FAILURE 10.
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.
There are problems in the network cabling between the electrical box and the operator
panel.
Automatic recovery of stored searchlight position in panel. 10.1
A new feature was introduced with the release of the control software, v 0.5.23.35 for ebox and
v 0.6.0.7 for the operator panels, from these versions this is a standard feature*.
With this new feature the system always stores the searchlight position after the movement has
been idle for 20 seconds. The position is stored in in a non-volatile memory.
When the system is restarted after power loss, the last stored position will automatically be
reloaded in to the panel.
The panel position indicator differs from the actual position of the 10.1.1
searchlight.
At boot up, the panel position indicator can differ from the searchlight actual position for the
following reasons:
The system power was interrupted in the middle of a joystick maneuver.
The searchlight had just been maneuvered but the power interruption occurred before
the 20 seconds elapsed and therefore the new position was not stored.
The searchlight axis has turned away from latest stored position while it was switched
off, manually or by wind gusts.
Positional deviations depending on the above will be automatically corrected when the
next “Park” is commanded.
Note: always synchronize before setting sweep*, fixed positions* or surveillance* to ensure that
the system is not rebooted with deviating positions, please see 10.2 Synchronize the system.
*Older systems can be updated, please contact us for more information.
Page 26 INSTALLATION & USER'S MANUAL CLITE2
Synchronize the system 10.2
The easiest way to synchronize the system after reboot is to enter the quick start menu and
select the “Park” function; the system will then activate the horizontal and vertical movement
until the searchlight absolute position sensors sends their signals back to the control system
and thereby updating it with the correct positioning.
If a parking position has been set, the searchlight will end this procedure by parking.
If necessary the origin can be set after the steps above to give an accurate readout of the
indicator. To set the origin, please see 15.8.5.1 Store origin.
