13. TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Cause
Action to be taken
Condensation
on glass
1. Small amount of moisture in
ambient air when light was
sealed.
1. This may occur only when the
light is off or in the process of
cooling. Operation is not
effected.
2. Water has entered the light
housing (o-ring defect or
contaminated)
2. If you notice condensation during
operation of the light. Stop use
immediately, isolate electrically
and cool the light in the water
before removal. Contact your
supplier.

8. Connector is not joined or in
the wrong configuration.
8. Isolate electrically. Make sure
that the connectors have be
mated correctly (refer to page10)
Re-connect and ensure locking
collars have been tightened.
9. Water
in
electrical
connectors.
9. Isolate electrically. Disassemble
the connectors and check to
make sure there is no water
present. Dry and re-assemble. A
small about of silicone grease
will not affect the electrical
connection.
10. Cable has been damaged
10. Cable may have been damaged
while in use. Check along the
length of all cables.
11. Water in the light housing
11. Refer to above (Water in
housing)
12. Light head is faulty
12. Remove from water and contact
your supplier.
Water inside the housing (especially sea water) can have fatal consequences due to
conduction of electrically and build up of pressure from the vaporizing of water to
steam. Therefore, during the use of the light please check repeatedly, whether water
has found its way inside. Do this by holding the light on a slant pointing down, thus the
ray of light pointing away from the body. Then look at the front glass from the side. If
there is water inside the housing cease operation immediately by turning off the light
and returning to the surface. Please allow the light to cool for not less than 5minutes
before removing it from the water.
