Installing the Day/Night PLUS

prevent moisture from penetrating into the core.
NOTES: Most hatches are made of acrylic which is very durable.
Even older acrylic is easy to cut and will not chip or crack as long as
the proper tools and methods are used.
MARKING THE LOCATION
When mounting on a deck, make sure to check the camber of the
deck. See Precautions.
The Day/Night PLUS comes fully assembled. The first step is to
remove the cover from the base plate. To do so, simply remove the
3 stainless steel screws at the edges of the solar array and lift the
cover off from the base plate. Be careful not to lose the sealing
O-rings around each of the screws. When lifting off the cover, please
note that the same 3 screws also hold the solar array onto the cover.
CAREFUL the solar array does not fall off from the cover and
damage or disconnect the internal wiring.
Carefully choose the installation location that will receive good
sunlight.
DECK MOUNT
DECK INSTALLATION
Place the base plate into the hole from the outside and mark the
three (3) fastener holes. Make sure the three fastener holes do not
interfere with the trim ring screw holes. Remove base plate and drill
5/32" holes. Do not penetrate all the way through the deck. Place
base plate back into hole to insure correct alignment. Apply a 1/4"
(7mm) bead of silicone sealant around the outside edge of the
installation hole and around the fan housing (flange) where it meets
the base. Place the gasket over the flange on the bottom of the
base plate, while aligning the screw holes then press gently into the
sealant. Turn the unit over and place into the hole making sure the
screw holes are lined up. The gasket alone should not be used on
a cambered deck as it may not seal properly. Fasten the base plate
into place with the three #10 x 1" long pan head fastener screws
