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 65°C the underwater light is automatically
switched off.
Hull preparation
The underwater light is recommended to be installed around 0.2 m below the waterline for the best
illumination and to avoid over-heating.
To fix the underwater light with screws M6x80 the diameter of holes drilled into the hull has to be 6
mm.
The diameter of the hole for cable gland drilled through the hull has to be 8 mm.
Sealing
Before inserting the cable with gland through the hole the sealant has to be used into the grooves,
around the four fixing holes and around the gland in the rear surface of the underwater light.
The sealant has to be added to the exposed inner hole surface from the inside of the hull around the
gland.
The sealant can be on silicon basis but the best solution is two-component polymer sealant.
Fixing
The cable with gland has to be inserted through the hole from outside of the hull.
The underwater light has to be fixed with three screws M6x80 with nuts M6 and washers.
