INSTALL & OPERATION MANUAL

8. Place the two clamping clips together to form a circle, ensuring you pair 1 threaded and 1 non-threaded
hole together. Fix the clips together using one of the longer screws provided so that the clips are located
approximately halfway down the length of the screw. Locate the clips into the appropriate grooves
(depending on hull thickness) on outside of the mounting tube so that the end of the screw is close to the
washer. Fit the second longer screw provided into the remaining holes, fixing the two clips together. Leave
the shorter
screw out to connect the light to the vessel’s cathodic protection system.
9. Tighten the locking screws using a 5mm Allen key, applying thread lock at point of thread contact with locking
ring.
DO NOT
over-tighten locking screws, as you could damage the mounting tube, and this will not be
covered under warranty.
Once you are satisfied that the unit is fully tightened, you will notice that sealant has squeezed out from
around the perimeter of the light. Using a thinner or cleaner, apply to cloth and wipe off excess sealant to
leave a clean seal.
AVOID CONTACT WITH LENS
. If you do not see sealant squeeze out from the body, you
have not used enough sealant or tightened the unit enough to the hull. Carefully examine the installation to
make sure the seal you have installed on the unit is fully watertight. If in doubt, remove light, re-apply sealant
and re-install.
10. Connect the bonding cable to the remaining screw and lock in place with shake-proof washer provided.
Tighten the locking screw using a 5mm Allen key, applying thread lock at point of thread contact with the
clamping clips.
BONDING:
The light
MUST
be attached to the vessels bonding / cathodic protection system. Once fitted it is
mandatory to check that there is full continuity between the vessels cathodic protection system and the outer
bezel of the mounting tube assembly (see bonding schematic
– Appendix Chapter 7).
