4.5 FINALISING THE INSTALLATION
The Explore TH body is constructed from corrosion resistant Aluminium Bronze and does not require further protection.
The glass is pre-coated with a specialized Tritonium® coating which makes the surface of the glass lens a non-stick
layer.
OceanLED does not recommend that bottom paint or any type of anti-fouling agent is applied to the glass
and/or bezel
, as damage may occur due to chemical incompatibility. If bottom painting of the bezel is deemed essential,
then an area of at least 5mm should be left uncoated around the glass lens:
The protective lens sticker should be removed once all work on the vessel is complete.
4.6 TEST YOUR INSTALLATION
Always test the lights
BEFORE
the vessel goes back into the water. At this final stage make sure all of the system is
operational. If you have any issues, please contact your local OceanLED representative.
Never install a new light fixture then leave the vessel in the water unchecked for several days.
Never leave lights ON out of water for longer than 5 minutes followed by an off period of 1 hour.
When the vessel is placed in the water, immediately check for leaks. Note that very small leaks may not be
readily observed. It is best not to leave the vessel in the water for more than 3 hours before checking it again.
If there is a small leak, there may be considerable bilge water accumulation after 24 hours. If a leak is
observed, you must TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY to prevent damage.
