Maxa Beam Crew-Served Weapons Light (CSWL)
The Maxa Beam Crew-Served Weapons Light (CSWL) is a version of the MBS-430 Maxa Beam
Searchlight that has been specially ruggedized for shock and vibration compensation. The Maxa
Beam CSWL has a built-in 1913 “Picatinny” rail grabber and mil. spec. metal connectors.
Operation of the Maxa Beam CSWL is fundamentally similar to operation of any standard handheld
or remote-controlled Maxa Beam Searchlight. The operator remotely controls the CSWL with mil.
spec. switches that mimic the commands of the standard Red Power On/Off Switch and Beam
Conditioning Switch [see page 4]. The CSWL operator can program the searchlight with the mil.
spec. switches using the commands listed on pages 5-8. CSWL maintenance requirements are
identical to those of the standard Maxa Beam Searchlight models [see page 9].
Depending on specific user requirements, CSWL systems are powered from either 24VDC vehicles
and/or rechargeable or DoD battery systems. The instructions below outline basic installation
instructions. Please consult the detailed Installation Card that shipped with your equipment if you
have any questions regarding CSWL set-up.
