Power Supply Unit MPS06800
Washer
Fixing nut with 4 screws M8 and bonding screw M4
2 x cable gland M12
Operating Instructions with Declaration of Conformity and Warranty conditions
Underwater Light PLAQUE MFM18240
The PLAQUE MFM18240 has to be installed on a flat surface of the hull of the vessel.

Note:
Avoid using the underwater light out of the water for more than 5 minutes.
The underwater light is protected by a temperature sensor against over-heating. When the
temperature of the underwater light exceeds 60°C the power supply unit starts to reduce
the current of the LEDs. If the temperature of the underwater light exceeds 90°C the
underwater light is automatically switched off.
Hull preparation
The underwater light is recomended to be installed around 0.2 m below the waterline for the best
illumination and to avoid over-heating.
To fix the underwater light the diameter of a hole drilled through the hull has to be 102 mm.
Sealing
Before inserting the underwater light through the hole the sealant has to be used into the grooves
and has to be added to the exposed inner hole surface from the inside of the hull under the washer.
The sealant can be on silicon basis but the best solution is two-component polymer sealant.
Fixing
The underwater light has to be inserted through the hole from outside of the hull and has to be fixed
by the help of the fixing nut with 4 screws M8 and washer.
