SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The SX-16 searchlight installation consists of a gimbal mounted searchlight assem
bly attached to an airframe searchlight mount, an electrical junction box a panel-
mounted controller. A 70 AMP circuit breaker, located on the baggage compartment
circuit breaker panel, receives power from a generator bus.
The SX-16 Control Panel incorporates full authority over the Nightsun system in
cluding an enhancement to automate beam “cool down” following use. The Panel
also incorporates full authority over the laser spotter device. Additionally, the laser
pointer is coupled to the radar altimeter and automatically turns off when a predeter
mined decision height has been reached. If desired, the pilot/copilot may allow the
SX-16 to operate in a synchronized mode with the FLIR LEO II surveillance system
if installed.
The SX-16 has a 1600 Watt short arc Xenon lamp with a peak beam intensity
of 30 million candlepower and a typical range of 3200 feet (1 km).
