The Golight® Stryker® ST Series Hardwired Remote is a remote-controlled searchlight designed for permanent vehicle mounting and operation. This device offers robust functionality and is built for durability and versatility in various lighting applications.

Function Description:

The Stryker® ST spotlight provides 370° horizontal rotation and 135° vertical tilt, allowing for precise aiming of the light beam. It is controlled via a hardwired dash remote, which features directional arrows for rotation and tilt, an on/off key, a speed selection key, a home key, and a spotlight selector key. The spotlight selector allows control of either one or two connected spotlights, enabling individual or simultaneous operation. The dash remote keys are backlit when the light is on, enhancing visibility during use. The home key automatically returns the spotlight to a fully forward and level position.

Important Technical Specifications:

Rotation: 370° horizontal
Tilt: 135° vertical (45° down, 90° up)
Swing Diameter: 286 mm (11.3 inches) from the center of the mounting plate
Power Requirements (Halogen Models - 3020ST, 3021ST, 3026ST):
- Max Current Draw: 5.5A @ 13.8V
- Recommended Fuse: 7.5A to 10A
Power Requirements (LED Models - 30204ST, 30214ST, 30264ST):
- Max Current Draw: 3.5A @ 13.8V
- Recommended Fuse: 5A
Wiring Harness Length: 20 feet (6 meters)
Mounting Hardware: Includes three #8-16 x 3/4 inch panhead stainless steel self-tapping screws.

Usage Features:

The Stryker® ST is intended for off-road and utility use only and must be mounted outside the vehicle. It is not designed or approved for road use as a driving light. The remote control allows for simultaneous rotation and tilt, and the speed of these movements can be adjusted. For installations involving multiple spotlights, optional Y-splitters (ST-3020-Y) or X-splitters (ST-3020-X) are available to enable control of two spotlights with one remote, or one spotlight with two remotes, respectively. The spotlight selector function on the remote allows users to control spotlights independently or in tandem.

Installation Instructions (Dash Remote):

Location Selection: Choose a suitable location on the dash.
Drilling: Drill two 4.5 mm (3/16 inch) holes for mounting screws and one 24 mm (15/16 inch) hole for the electrical connector. A template is provided for precise drilling.
Wiring: Route the connector through the dash hole and connect it to the wiring harness.

Installation Instructions (Spotlight):

Location Selection: Determine a flat surface on the vehicle for mounting. The small arrow on the base indicates the normal forward direction. Consider the light's rotation (185° left, 185° right) and tilt (45° down, 90° up) ranges to maximize usability, keeping the 286 mm swing diameter in mind for clearance.
Mounting Plate Removal: Remove the dog point screw from the mounting plate and then remove the mounting plate from the base. Save the screw for reinstallation.
Mounting Plate Installation: The mounting plate can be secured using the supplied sheet metal screws or a combination of cap screws, nuts, and washers. Drill holes in the mounting surface according to the hole pattern dimensions (Figure 4) or use the mounting plate as a template.
Wiring Harness Hole: Drill a 27 mm (1 1/16 inch) center hole in the mounting surface for the wiring harness.
Electrical Connection: Connect the red wire (positive) to the vehicle's fused 12V DC positive source and the black wire (negative) to the vehicle's chassis ground. Ensure correct polarity. Use appropriate wire gauge and fuse based on the specified current draw for halogen or LED models.
Wiring Harness Routing: Route the wiring harness from the remote through the vehicle to the mounting bracket.
Connector Connection: Connect the electrical connector on the spotlight to the mating connector on the wiring harness.
Sealing: Use silicone sealant to fill the center hole around the wiring harness. Leave 75 mm (3 inches) of cord under the light to ensure full 370° rotation.
Gasket Placement: Ensure the gasket is properly placed on the perimeter of the base. Do not use silicone or other sealants around the gasket, as this will limit water drainage.
Surface Preparation: Wet the mounting surface with a small amount of water to ease installation.
Spotlight Attachment: Tip the front of the light down, push it forward, then pull backward to hook the front bracket into the mounting plate.
Securing the Base: Seat the rear bracket and base onto the mounting plate. Peel back the tab at the rear of the mounting gasket to access the screw hole. Install the dog point screw through the base and rear bracket, then tighten it into the mounting plate.
