7.2 ESSENTIAL TEST
Perform this bonding check after installation of the light and before moving the vessel back into the water.
Refer to bonding information in the installation sections in this manual. If in doubt, please contact OceanLED.
1. Connect the light assembly to the cathodic protection system as explained in
Chapter 4
.
2. Measure the electrical continuity between the front bezel and the sacrificial anode. This test should give a
reading of up to 0.5
Ω
(Ohms). This procedure will guarantee electrical continuity between the front bezel,
the mounting tube and the sacrificial anode.
If you have any questions regarding the above, please contact OceanLED:

YES!
NO!
The Resistance reading
between the bonding
screw and the sacrificial
anode will not prove any
continuity between the
light fixture and the
bonding system.
The Resistance reading
between the front bezel and
the sacrificial anode will show
whether the light fixture is
electrically connected to the
bonding system of the vessel.
