SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Form number 69578
2 NM BI-COLOR COMBINATION BOW LIGHT
- For boats up to 20 meters / 65.6 feet in length
- Meets USCG CFR 183.810, ABYC A-16 and all applicable standards as
tested by Imanna Laboratories and ISO19009 requirements
- 2 nautical mile visibility
- Impact resistant, UV stable polycarbonate housing
CAUTION MAKE SURE POWER SOURCE IS 12-VOLT DC ONLY. HIGHER
VOLTAGE WILL DAMAGE LIGHT AND CIRCUITRY.
CAUTION Read all instructions carefully before installing and using this
product. All positive (+12V DC) lighting wires require a 1-amp fuse to
protect circuits and vessel. The aluminum light pole is not grounded.
WARNING To prevent personal injury, disconnect power when installing
or servicing this product. Remove boat from water before using any
120V AC power tools.
LOCATION
Lights must be mounted to an unobstructed smooth surface on the
gunwale, deck or superstructure. Locate Bi-color Combination Light in
an area as far forward as possible. (Figure 1)
INSTALLATION
All positive (+12V DC) wires must be fused to protect your circuits and
vessel. The Bi-color navigation light requires a 1-amp fuse. On a separate
circuit, the task light also requires a 1-amp fuse. The aluminum pole is not
connected to an electrical ground (Figure 4). Regulations require lights to
be operated with a three-position switch for running lights (bow lights and
all-round light) and anchor lights (all-round light only).
BASES THAT DO NOT USE LOCKING COLLARS (NV6SP2)
1. Insert pole into base, aligning screw with slot in base.
2. Press down firmly to engage electrical connectors.
3. To remove, pull pole straight up.
BASES THAT USE LOCKING COLLARS (NV6LC2)
1. Insert pole into base, aligning screw with slot in base.
2. Press down firmly to engage electrical connectors.
3. Slide locking collar down to base, rotate clockwise until threads
are fully engaged.
NOTE: Periodically check pole to make sure it is secure.
4. To remove:
• Rotate locking collar in counter clockwise direction until it
loosens(Figure 3)
• Pull pole straight up
After installation, check lights to verify proper operation. Navigation rules
require sidelights to be operated separately from anchor lights. Use either
two switches or one switch with three positions for off/anchor/running.
Check the task light by pressing on switch at rear of light to turn task light
on (Figure 2).
NOTE: Navigation light poles are designed to support only the light. They
should never be used as flag poles or handles.
BASE WIRING
For proper operation, wire the base as directed in Figure 4.
IMPORTANT LED-based lights MUST be wired for correct polarity
(Figure 4). If your light does not function after installation, the light base may
require re-wiring.
To re-wire if necessary:
1. Unscrew or remove the base so you can reach wiring.
2. Locate the connection between base wiring and the boat’s wiring
harness.
3. Cut wires. Add waterproof splice to each wire end.
4. Reverse polarity by reversing original wire connection to the wire
harness.
5. Temporarily plug light into the base to check operation.
6. Remove light and reinstall base.
NOTE: Navigation light poles are designed to support only the light. They should
never be used as flag poles or handles.
