Daniamant L160 User manual
Installation
Remove the existing mounting bracket. If the original fixings are in a serviceable condition, they can be
re-used, otherwise replace with new similar fixings.
Align the Mounting Adapter plate with the existing holes, and fix. Make sure that the plate is the correct
way up. Refer to the picture on the front of this manual.
Attach the L160, L161, L162 or L163 bracket using the supplied self tapping screws.
Complete the installation in accordance with the instructions supplied with the lifebuoy light.
Maintenance
As part of the regular service of the attached lifebuoy light, an inspection of the Mounting Adapter Plate
should be conducted.
Make sure that the lifebuoy light bracket is firmly attached to the adapter plate, and that the adapter plate
is firmly affixed to the supporting structure.
If any fixing has become loose or damaged, then it needs to be made good. Also, if the adapter plate is
damaged such that it would impair its function, then it should be replaced.
L161 and L163 lifebuoy light
Installation and Maintenance Instructions
Description
The L161 and L163 lifebuoy light is a system designed for automatic activation by the act of releasing
the lifebuoy to which the unit is attached, such that the battery is activated when the light is pulled from
its housing.
Installation
The L161 and L163 lights should be mounted so that when the lifebuoy is removed a direct pull is exerted
on the lanyard thus ensuring that the light is withdrawn from the container and switched on.
Screw the container to a secure location using all four fixing holes provided, making sure that when
deployed the drop to the water is not greater than 76 metres. The L161 and L163 Lifebuoy lights have
been constructed to withstand a drop into the water from up to 76M, in excess of what is required by LSA
Code (Chapter II Section 2.1.1.6).
Secure the lanyard to the lifebuoy. Ensure that the release toggle is fitted to the switch and that the
switch is in the off position as shown on page 3. Finally fit the light to the bracket with the lanyard fed
over the lip on the front. IMPORTANT: The lanyard must feed over the top edge of the bracket as shown
to ensure correct release.
Operation
The light is automatically switched on when the lifebuoy is deployed. As the lifebuoy is deployed, the
lanyard will lift the light from its mounting bracket. Upon leaving the bracket, the rip cord attached to the
switch will switch the light on. When switched on, the light will provide a flashing light of at least 2 Cd.
Once the light has been deployed, it must be considered expended and replaced with a new light.
Replacement
The L161 and L163 lights have a storage life of 5 years and must be replaced by the date shown on the
label.

Maintenance
Routine service
The L161 and L163 is maintenance free, but the following checks should be made periodically (e.g.
annually):
1. Inspect visually to ensure the casing is undamaged and that no component parts are missing or
damaged. If damaged, the unit is to be replaced.
2. Carefully extract the unit from its housing, taking care not to activate the light.
3. Manually activate the switch slider on the side of the lower portion of the case.
4. Ensure that the light functions. If the light fails to function, the unit is to be replaced.
5. Return the switch slider to the off position to extinguish the lamp, making sure that the release
toggle is still attached to the switch.
6. Finally replace the unit into the housing.
Please note there are no user serviceable parts inside this light. If the light fails to illuminate during test,
it needs to be replaced. Tampering with the unit will void any warranty.
Release toggle attached, and
switch moved to off position.
Replace light in bracket. Ensure lanyard is located in recess.
