Signal Mate BRKTTERM User manual

Terminate vessel’s wiring to light’s wiring using butt crimps, and use
adhesive heat shrink tubing to prevent moisture from entering
connection.
Position any extra cable from the vessel into the rear of the bracket,
and secure the bracket to the vessel using # 10 flat head fasteners
assuring the wire is clear of the mounting screw guides to avoid
pinching the wire.
Firmly bend cable up 90 degrees to expose keyway slot.
Position light into bracket while pushing the extra inch of wire into
the cable hole using the service loop.
Note: The light has a slot where the wire comes out and mates with
the keyway on the bracket. Position the light to line up the keyway
while pressing down to engage the keying. Secure light using the
stainless steel lock washer, and ¼ 20 pan head screw. Note: Check
the bottom of the light to assure it is sitting flat and flush with the
bracket verifying proper keying alignment.
