4.3 FINALISING THE INSTALLATION
The Explore XFM mounting tube is constructed from corrosion resistant Aluminium Bronze and does not require further
protection. The glass is pre-coated with a specialized Tritonium® coating which helps to prevent marine growth from
adhering to the glass.
No paint or any type of anti-fouling agent should be applied to the glass and/or bezel
, as damage may
occur to the light due to chemical incompatibility and will immediately void the warranty. However, 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
.
Please do not use any un-authorised cleaning products to remove excess paint or antifoul off the glass or
within 5mm of the glass. OceanLED recommends using Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) only.
4.4 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.
