Searchlight System
TSL-1600
The TSL-1600 searchlight offers high performance multi-function capabilities in a single integrated design. Solid state technology is incorporated throughout and offers dramatic increases in reliability, performance and ease of installation. All power management, control and system integration circuitry is neatly incorporated into the unit itself thereby eliminating the need for any additional space and weight needed for remote Junction boxes and intermediate cabling.
The unit is easily operated from the cockpit or elsewhere on the ship via one or more handheld controllers or can be integrated with the cyclic or collective grips. The unit is also easily linked to any target/map tracking system via a built in RS-422 interface. This same circuitry provides active Slave & SLASS capabilities for a direct lash-up with other onboard FLIR or camera systems.
The TSL-1600 also offers long range NVIS capability via an optional IR illuminator module that attaches to the underside of the unit (see photo). The unit is or can be operated with the primary lamp switched off thus drawing a mere 20 watts while being completely undetectable to the naked eye. Range is an impressive 1 mile - 20° spot while also providing a generous 40° spread for landing and close-in viewing. The solid-state LED illuminator has no moving parts and carries full warranty coverage in all conditions.
