PREFACE
The CONUS series underwater lights are
designed to use the latest LED lighting
technology.
The surface-mount designed casings enable
very simple installation on the hull without
making any bigger holes through the hull under
water line. By the help of slope-truncated cone
designed casing the CONUS series
underwater lights can be installed on the hull to
light in different directions, to the sea ground
and to the both sides of the yacht.
All the models are available in aluminium
bronze and anodized aluminium casings in
different colors. The lighting is available in
white, blue or green colors or three-color. All
the models are designed with 18 power LEDs
and suitable power supply units.

INSTALLATION
The underwater light kit consists of the following components:
Underwater Light CONUS MST18240
Power Supply Unit MPS06800
3 x fixing screw 5.5x38
2 x cable gland M12
Operating Instructions with Declaration of Conformity and Warranty conditions
Underwater Light CONUS MST18240
The CONUS MST18240 has to be installed on a flat surface on the stern 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.
SEALING GROOVES

HULL
SCREW 5.5X38
BONDING
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 with screws 5.5x38 the diameter of holes drilled into the hull depends on
hull material. The diameter of the hole through the hull to insert the cable above the water line has to
be around 6 mm.
Sealing
Before fixing the underwater light the sealant has to be used into the grooves, around the three fixing
holes and around the cable hole above the water line.
The sealant can be on silicon basis but the best solution is two-component polymer sealant.
Fixing
The underwater light has to be fixed with three screws 5.5x38.
The cable has to be inserted through the hole above the water line from outside of the hull.

Note:
All the stainless steel fixing screws it is highly recommended to be sealed in the contact
with underwater light casing by optional TEF-GELTM waterproof paste (not included) to
prevent galvanic corrosion.
To install the underwater light on the steel hull it is highly recommended to use the
optional isolation board (not included) between the hull and underwater light casing to
prevent galvanic corrosion.
Note:
Do not overtighten the screws as this can result in hull or underwater light damage.
Bonding
The underwater light has to be connected to the vessels bonding and cathodic protection using a pre-
tinned wire a minimum of 8 AWG (8.36 mm2) with green insulation or green with a yellow stripe. The
wire has to be connected to the underwater light by the help of one screw 5.5x38.
Note:
At the anodized aluminium casing the anodized layer has to be removed in the contact
point with the wire.
Note:
It is highly recommended to paint the entire underwater casing exposed to the water with
anti-foul paint but at the anodized aluminium casing with epoxy paint first and then with
anti-foul paint.
The optical window is protected with foil which has to be removed after anti-fouling
process.
Power Supply Unit MPS06800
The MPS06800 has to be installed near the underwater light inside of the vessel.
Avoid the installation in extremely hot places and near appliances generating strong magnetic fields.
An extension cable can be used in case of longer distance between the underwater light and the
power supply unit but with suitable length and thickness.
The installation have to be realized by a qualified personnel.

Note:
The main DC power supply of the vessel has to be switched off before installation.
Power supply connection
The power supply has to be connected through the switch (not included) and protected by a fuse (not
included) to the DC IN terminal-block connector with correct polarity. The power supply voltage has to
be from 10 - 30Vdc.
A power supply unit of another underwater light can be connected to the DC OUT terminal-block
connector.
Note:
Only one additional power supply unit of the same model number can be connected to the
DC OUT terminal-block connector and suitable power supply cable should be used. The
appurtenant cap should be removed from the casing and enclosed cable gland M12 should
be inserted.
Underwater light connection
The underwater light has to be connected to the LIGHT terminal-block connector as described in the
table below:

Remote control connection
Remote control (optional) can be connected to the CONTROL terminal-block connector to turn-on
and turn-off and to control the luminosity of the underwater light.
To remotely turn-on and turn-off the underwater light the simple switch (not included) can be used
and connected to the CONTROL terminal-block connector by a 2-pole signal cable (not included).
Note:
To connect the 2-pole signal cable the appurtenant cap should be removed from the casing
and enclosed cable gland M12 should be inserted.
Note:
If remote control is not used for normal operation the both contacts of CONTROL terminal-
block connector has to be bridged.
