• The light is designed for vertical surface mounting.
• It can be used for permanent installation on a vessel's structure or hoisted up masts.
• Ensure the mounting location provides an unobstructed view of the light for its intended arc of visibility (112.5 degrees from dead ahead to 22.5 degrees abaft the beam on the starboard side).
• Use appropriate fasteners for the mounting surface to ensure a secure attachment. The housing snaps to the base, eliminating the need for external screws for assembly.

4.2 Електрическо свързване

• The light operates on a 12V DC power supply.
• Connect the positive (+) wire from the vessel's 12V DC system to the positive terminal of the light.
• Connect the negative (-) wire (ground) from the vessel's system to the negative terminal of the light.
• Ensure all connections are watertight and protected from the marine environment.
• It is recommended to install an appropriately rated fuse in the positive supply line to protect the circuit.

5. Инструкции за работа
