Installation Guide

7. Place the two C clips together to form a circle, ensuring you pair 1 threaded and
1 non-threaded hole together. Fix clips together using one of the screws provided
so that the clips are located approximately half way down the length of the screw.
Locate clips into grooves on outside of the mounting tube so that the end of the
screw is close to the washer. Fit the screws provided into the remaining holes,
fixing the two clips together. Leave the longer screw out to connect the light to
the vessel’s cathodic protection system. Screw down to the same position:
8. 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 o 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 water-tight. If
in doubt, remove light, re-apply sealant and re-install.
9. Connect the bonding cable to the remaining screw and lock in place with the nut
and shake proof washer provided. Tighten the locking screw using a 5mm Allen
key, applying thread lock at point of thread contact with locking ring.
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 – chapter 6 Appendix).
