Allure 150 AC Driver          |          Allure 250 AC Driver 

Warning

Mount drivers in a dry location. Drivers should not sit in standing water at any time.

 

1. 

 Fix driver into required position, see below diagram for mounting dimensions and clearances. Ensure 

chosen driver location is near enough to connect light cable without applying undue stress.

Tip

:  For complete instructions on V AC connections, please refer to local codes and ordinances for V AC 

connections or equivalent.

Warning

: Never leave the bare cables unprotected. Water deposits in the connectors and cables will corrode 

the cables causing the light to fail and will NOT be covered under warranty. 

2. 

 Depending on the model of lights being installed you will need to pull the correct sized power cable 

from the breaker to the driver locations to supply constant power to the units. It is imperative that the 

correct sized tinned marine cable is used.

Tip

:  Always use dielectric grease when making the connections to the light. Corrosion of wire is NOT covered 

under warranty. 

Tip

:  Mount all drivers/power supplies in a dry location. Drivers/Power supplies should not sit in standing water 

at any time. 

3. 

 Connect the Deutsch plug from the light into the Deutsch connector on the AC Power Supply (multi 

pin).

4. 

 If you are not installing a custom fuse panel, it is imperative that the supply to each driver is 

appropriately fused. Please consult electrical specification on page 4 to select the correct fuse 

dependant on which model of light you have.
