FITTING THE SUPERNOVA.
The SUPERNOVA is supplied with a universal mounting bracket
which can be bent along the row of slots to accommodate any
mounting angle. Figs 1 to 4 illustrate the various mounting options.
Bend the bracket to the required angle. Drill the bracket and fix to
the mast using self tapping screws. Make final adjustments to the
bracket to ensure the flange is vertical then bolt the SUPERNOVA to
the flange using the mounting blocks and stainless steel fasteners
provided. The anchor light has no preferred direction however the tri-
colour must have the arrow on the top pointing forward. The combi
must be mounted with the line dividing the green and red sectors
pointing forward.
INTRODUCTION.

combi lights are designed to comply with COLREG (rule 22) for
installation on vessels up to 12 metres in length.
They are visible, at night, at a distance in excess of 2nm even with 25
degrees of pitch or roll. The nominal supply voltage is 12 volts (10 to

The anchor light is white through 360 degrees. The tri-colour is white
