Underwater Light PLAQUE MFM0680
The PLAQUE MFM0680 has to be installed on a flat surface of the hull of the vessel.
Do not try to install the underwater light while the vessel is in the water.
When the installation is finished briefly test the underwater light prior to launching the vessel.
The installation have to be realized by a qualified personnel.
Note:
•
Avoid using the underwater light out of the water for more than 5 minutes.
The underwater light is protected by a temperature sensor against over-heating. When the
temperature of the underwater light exceeds 60°C the power supply unit starts to reduce
the current of the LEDs. If the temperature of the underwater light exceeds 90°C the
underwater light is automatically switched off.
Hull preparation
The underwater light is recomended to be installed around 0.2 m below the waterline for the best
illumination and to avoid over-heating.
To fix the underwater light the diameter of a hole drilled through the hull has to be 72 mm.
Sealing
Before inserting the underwater light through the hole the sealant has to be used into the grooves
and has to be added to the exposed inner hole surface from the inside of the hull under the washer.
The sealant can be on silicon basis but the best solution is two-component polymer sealant.
Fixing
The underwater light has to be inserted through the hole from outside of the hull and has to be fixed
by the help of the fixing nut with 4 screws M8 and washer.
