Mounting and installation
DANGER
Incorrect mounting and installation may lead to risk for falling objects, risk for electric shock or fire and risk for
equipment malfunction. In turn, this can lead to severe damage and/or injuries.
Mounting
See figure 1 & 2.
Fixing
The navigation light shall be fixed to a plane horizontal surface, by 4x M8 bolts. Maximum torque: 8 Nm. Ref.
figure 2 & figure 3.
Cable entries
Direction of cable entries; see figure 1. Ensure enough space to route cable and terminate cable properly.
Minimum space requirement: Cables bending radius + 50 mm.

Figure 3
Positioning of lights
Inboard screen is not required as the light itself fulfill the requirements. If an inboard screen is installed please follow
the following procedure:
Ref. COLREG 72, Annex I.
Positioning of side lights (port and starboard)
COLREG 72, Annex I, 5: The sidelights shall be fitted with inboard screens painted matt black, and meeting the
requirements of Section 9 of this Annex.
Positioning of all-round lights
COLREG 72, Annex I, 9(b): All-round lights shall be so located as not to be obscured by masts, topmasts or
structures within angular sectors of more than 6 degrees, except anchor lights, which need not be placed at an
impracticable height above the hull.
Zero signal direction
Zero signal direction is denoted on all sector lights (e.g. “masthead” and “port”) with an arrow. For correct
installation, this arrow shall point parallel to the ships centre line. It should be pointing in the same direction as the
light distribution. It can be both backwards and forwards depending on the sector of the navigation light. Ref.
figure 1.

Electrical connections
Only qualified electrical personnel may install and start up the QPD components. For correct electrical
termination please follow the Phoenix user manual, Appendix 1 in the end of this user manual. Check if you
have the right cable type to ensure a correct connection. Below is an excerpt of the Phoenix user manual describing
the main points of the procedure. Please note that the dust caps mounted on lights connector sockets are not IP
rated and will not protect against water intrusion.
CAUTION
Do not open the product. The R. Stahl TRANBERG TEF2880 series is sealed for life.
Non-compliance with the instruction may result in risk of injuries or damage to equipment
Cable termination
Cable diameter: Ø9-16 mm.
Part # 2880***0* delivered as standard with terminal nut for Ø9-16 mm cable.
Wire cross section: 1.0 mm2 to 2.5 mm2.
Wire diameter incl. insulation: 2,0 mm to 3,80mm.
Connections
1. Strip approx. 60 mm off the cable.
2. Loop the PE conductor around the live conductors (1). As a result, the PE conductor will be pulled out of the
terminal block last if strong tension is exerted on the cable.
3. Insert the cable into the terminal nut.
4. Fix the wires in the conductor support of the splice body (2).
5. Cut off the wires with a diagonal cutter flush on the splice body (3).
6. When connecting the terminal nut to the light connector socket, make sure that their markings are aligned.
7. Screw the terminal nut together with the light connector socket (4). For this, we recommend using either the
socket wrench, a wrench, or a plier. Screw the terminal nut as far as it will go, or with the specified torque. It
must not be possible to unscrew the terminal nut again by hand.
8. Seal off any non-allocated connections using a protective cap.

Control and monitoring
Navigation lights and signal light required by national and canal authorities shall be connected to a dedicated control
and monitoring system. Control and monitoring of the TEF2880 series can be obtained in two different ways (ref.
part # matrix page 4):
Part # 2880***X* where X = 0 or 9. (Versions without digital input/output):
On/off control by switching power on and off.
Monitoring by measuring current. When a failure occurs, current draw falls below 10 mA.
The monitoring system must be compatible with table below.
