INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR CAT. NOS. 1164-1168 “E” SERIES
DOUBLE LENS NAVIGATION LIGHTS
The above lights are designed for use on vessels over 20 meters (65.6 ft.) in length, operating on a 120 volt electri-
cal system. In order to comply with the ‘72 COLREGS and the U.S. Inland Rules, the following must be adhered to:
MOUNTING INFORMATION
Read all instructions before proceeding.
1). These instructions describe the installation of the lights after the proper mounting location has been
determined. For proper light selection, positioning and configuration, refer to the ‘72 COLREGS* U.S. Inland
Navigation Rules* and/or other governing requirements applicable to the type and class of vessel.
2). These lights are designed to be mounted on a horizontal surface.
3). All electrical supply connections must be in accordance with applicable marine electrical standards and
regulations and accomplished by a qualified marine electrician.
4). Proper lamp(s) must be selected in accordance with the identification plate mounted on the light.
5). Record information from the identification plate onto the “Navigation Light Certificate Of Compliance’ and store
with the vessel’s documents.
6). If this installation is a retro-fit of older lights, the mounting arrangement has been changed from the previous
style so that the light fixture is now bolted directly to the mounting surface. However, the new bolt holes match
the location of the bolt holes in the old style base plate.
7). Align light by making sure that a reference line drawn through the fore-aft marks on the light is parallel to the
fore-aft centerline of the vessel.
8). Using the base as a template, mark the mounting surface and drill for 3/8 inch bolts.
9). After bolting in place, recheck alignment.
10). To access lamp in the lower compartment:
(a). Make sure light is de-energized.
(b). Remove cover on top of light.
(c). Loosen the two diagonal screws adjacent to the upper
compartment socket.
(d). Pull socket assembly straight up.
