Solar Panel Replacement
The BargeSafe Solar 3nm is built around an internal aluminium chassis. The solar panels can be user-
replaced in the unlikely event that one is broken or damaged during the product’s life.
Follow the steps below or contact [email protected] for more details.
1. Remove 4 x M6 x 20 socket head cap screws (SHCS) and 4 x M6
nylon washers and disconnect the light head from the chassis
2. Remove the 2 x M4 x 20 socket head cap screws (SHCS), 2 x M4
spring washers and 2 x M4 penny washers. Remove the upper battery
bracket containing regulator
3. Disconnect the battery
4. Remove 4 x M6-35mm long socket head cap screws, to remove the
top casting from the chassis.
Note:
Be careful not to damage the o-rings on each of these screws. If
replacements are required please use standard 6x1.0mm o-ring.
5. Slide the rubber corner out of the chassis, it may be necessary to
lubricate the edges of the solar panels with grease or oil based
lubricant if this is difficult to remove.
6. Unscrew the affected panel wires from the regulator and remove the
solar panel from the chassis.
7. Clean any silicon off the chassis from the solar panel junction box
hole and add a new seal to ensure the solar panel is watertight when
assembled.
8. Repeat the process in the reverse order to replace a new panel.
Note:
Make sure the O-rings on the top casting and 4 x M6-35mm long
socket head cap screws are coated in silicon grease before
re-assembling.
The replacement of a solar panel should only be performed by a confident technician.
Sealite cannot guarantee the chassis will remain waterproof, if it not performed by Sealite staff.
To test for any leaks remove the gore vent and pressurise the assembled Light to 1.5psi.
