1.0 BEFORE YOU START The light can be installed above or below the waterline. For best underwater illumination, LUMISHORE recommends installation 4 to 12 (90-300mm) below the waterline Choose a location, keeping in mind: o The light must be mounted on a flat (not curved) surface. o A hole will be drilled to allow the cable to be inserted; care must be taken to ensure there is unrestricted access (including inside the hull for underwater installation) o When installing three or more lights, equal spacing is recommended to give a consistent light pool o The light is temperature sensitive and must not be located close to the exhaust outlet o The e-lite series operates on both 12V and 24V DC systems. Never connect a light directly to the mains AC voltage. o Each light should be fused and the serial number recorded. Please refer to the tables below. Voltage SMX90-CS Light Serial Number 12VDC 6Amp Fuse 24VDC 3Amp Fuse 2.0 PHYSICAL INSTALLATION 2.1 Materials Drill and bits for cable and pilot hole screws: Cable PILOT for screws 3M 4200 sealant (or equivalent) 7/16 (10.5mm) 9/64 (3.5mm) Philips type screwdriver Marine grade fuse Waterproof connectors or soldering iron and heat shrink tubing Rag(s) for cleanup 2.2 Mounting 1. Select a suitable flat surface that is accessible from behind and ensure the cable can be run without a problem. 2. In Section 8 of this guide is an e-lite installation template. Photocopy the template for each light to install and tape it in the position you want to install the light. IMPORTANT: To ensure consistent colour outputs, the LUMISHORE logo printed in the installation template must be positioned at the top when taping the template for installation 3. Drill the pilot and the power cable holes using the drill bits mentioned in the MATERIALS section above. 4. Apply continuous, thick beads of sealant as follows: (a) around the cable entry hole, (b) around the screw holes, (c) in a ring approximately 0.4 (10mm) from the edge of the light and (d) around the cable (see diagram below). 5. Push the power cable through the cable hole you have drilled and align the light with the pilot hole screws. 6. Attach the light to the hull using the 3 stainless steel screws provided. Hand tighten with a screwdriver. IMPORTANT: Do not over tighten 7. Use a damp cloth to wipe off excess sealant that was squeezed out around the light. IMPORTANT: For underwater installations: Refer to sealant directions to make sure it has fully cured before launching the boat in the water. SEALANT AREAS LIGHT MOUNTING Page 3
