1.0 BEFORE YOU START

High Intensity LED light – Do not stare into the led module at close proximity.

Always ensure that the vessel’s power source and battery are disconnected or isolated prior to installation.

Both electrical and mechanical installation should be carried out by a qualified professional, to ensure installation with the utmost care and caution. If in

doubt please contact LUMISHORE. Refer to Product Support Section

The Driver supplies voltage and current to the Thru-Hull lights. Under no circumstances should the light cable be cut and connected directly to voltage.

Always use a suitable fuse or circuit breaker to protect the complete system.

The LUMISHORE Thru-hull light is only designed to be operated underwater. If the light is operated out of water for more than 5 minutes it will become

hot and switch itself off.

The LUMISHORE Thru-Hull may be installed into GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic, Fiberglas) and wooden Hulls. To mount in an aluminium or steel hull the

light will need to be used with the optional Delrin Plastic Isolation Sleeve.

The light should be 6”- 10” (150-250mm) below the surface line of the water.

For Best results install the lights between 2.6 Feet (0.8m) and 6.5 Feet (2m) apart.

Never try to install or remove the light module with the vessel in the water.

All LUMISHORE products should have the appropriate bonding strap and electronic protection.

Do not over tighten the Retaining Bolts. A force of 3nM on each bolt should not be exceeded.

The Thru-Hull electronics have been fitted with an over-temperature cut off feature. Three flashes of the light output indicates an over-temp condition.

The unit will continue to flash until the light has returned to a safe operating temperature.

Lights should not be exposed to any temperatures in excess of 150°F (65°C). For example, next to hot engine components or where exhaust emissions

could be expelled onto the light while underway.

Note: Before mounting the Drivers and Lights, record the serial for future reference. The serial number is located on the light cable and on the rear of the driver.

2.0 THX120-CCP LIGHTS

Bonding Attention: LUIMISHORE lights should be bonded to the vessel’s DC bonding system to ensure protection from electrolytic/galvanic corrosion. All bonding

connections should be fully checked prior to returning the vessel to the water. LUMISHORE lights have integrated circuitry to protect lights from external issues, but

these are dependent upon the correct bonding. Failure to bond the lights properly and maintain the appropriate protection will invalidate the LUMISHORE

warranty.

Location – positioning will be dependent on both external and internal obstacles; consideration should also be given to installation wiring and internal access within the vessel. Ideally the light modules should be installed 6” to 10” (150-250mm) below the surface water line and spaced between 2.6 to 6.5Feet (0.8-2meters) apart.

Select a flat surface; make sure that both the internal and external surface of the hull are even and parallel. It may be necessary to sand or grind the surface.

A hole will be drilled to allow the cable to be inserted; care must be taken to ensure there is unrestricted access inside the hull.

The light is temperature sensitive and must not be located close to the exhaust

If multiple lights are installed, each light should be evenly spaced to ensure the best water illumination.

The number of lights and the spacing on your vessel will depend on a few factors: vessel size, location of lights, and water clarity.

2.1 Materials and Dimensions:

Required 1” (25mm) hole saw, 3M 4200 sealant (or equivalent) , 5mm Allen wrench, bonding strap and connections, and rag(s) for cleanup

Note: The cable must remain intact (do not cut/splice).

Supplied with 3 meters (9Feet) of cable

3.0 LIGHT INSTALLATION

1. Double check for internal obstacles before drilling a 1 inch (26mm) perpendicular hole through the hull. 2. The exposed inner hull surface must be properly sealed to prevent water intrusion into the hull before the light module is secured in place. 3. Before inserting the light, ensure that the hull surface is free from dirt and grease; remove any existing anti-foul from the hull surface.

Note: Do not use an alcohol-based solvent as this may have an adverse effect on the sealant.

4. Using an approved adhesive (3M 4200 Marine or similar), apply liberally a continuous bead of sealant around the entire circumference of the sealant groove, on the base of the stem, and on the shaft of the light.

5. Carefully feed the control cable through the 1 inch (26mm) hole. Care must be taken to avoid getting sealant onto the connector and internal pins. 6. Gently insert the stem of the Light Module through the hole in the hull. 7. Apply gentle, even pressure with a slight circular motion until the Light module is flush with the hull surface.

!! IMPORTANT: Ensure that each light module has correct vertical and horizontal alignment with the hull. Ensure the LUMISHORE logo within the light module is at the top.

8. From inside the vessel, feed the supplied washer down the shaft of the light module. Screw the locking nut in place and tighten the retaining bolts so that they

are hand tight. (less than 1nM) – Do not tighten fully at this stage, excess pressure will push all of the sealant out. 9. Remove excess sealant that is squeezed from behind the light. 10. Allow the sealant to cure according to the sealant manufacturer’s instructions. Once fully cured, use a 5mm Allen wrench to re-tighten each retaining bolt

(force less than 3nM). Care should be taken not to exceed this force as damage to the light module or hull of the vessel may occur. 11. Attach the vessel’s bonding protection to the bonding bolt on the Locking Nut.

!! IMPORTANT: Before launching the vessel the sealant should be checked to ensure it is fully cured in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

4.0 OPTIONAL DELRIN ISOLOATION SLEEVE

Assembly of the Isolation Sleeve should be carried out just prior to installation of the light to the vessel.

NB: the hole cut out required for the isolation sleeve is 1.3’ (32mm).

1. After drilling the 1.3” (32MM) hole, measure the thickness of the hull, ensure that the isolation shaft sleeve is less than the hull thickness. If the shaft sleeve is too long, cut to length using the radial grooves as a guide. (Refer to the assembly diagram above).

2. Before assembling the isolation sleeve, ensure that the light and sleeve surfaces are free from dirt and grease. Note: Do not use an alcohol-based solvent as this may have an adverse effect on the sealant.

3. Using an approved adhesive (3M 4200 Marine or similar), apply liberally a continuous bead of sealant around the entire circumference of the sealant groove, on the base of the stem, and on the shaft of the light.

4. Slide the isolation sleeve down the light’s shaft so that it sits firmly against the back of the light, push the sleeve onto the back of the light until the two surfaces are flush. At this point any excess sealant can be removed using a soft cloth and suitable cleaner.

5. Place the Delrin isolation washer sleeve over the aluminium bronze washer. 6. Using the isolation sleeve sealing rings for the marine adhesive, the light module is now ready to install onto the vessel. 7. During installation and from inside the vessel, apply sealant from the rear around the shaft to ensure that there is no potential contact

between the shaft and the hull.

7.2 Cable size (Gauge) LUMISHORE lights have advanced electronic systems which maintain the illumination output of the LEDs to protect them from under current or voltage.

Note: Current draw per module with a light connected: 12VDC – 7.5A / 24VDC – 3.75A

Proper wire cable size must be considered when installing the lights.

Compute the gauge of the cable needed at 12VDC or 24VDC.

Cable lengths referenced in the Conductor Size tables are from the source to the lights and back to the source.

Calculate the total current draw of all drivers that are connected to the terminal strip and use the chart below to find cable size from power source to

terminal strip. Use the same size wire from the terminal strip to each driver to extend the 3.5-foot cable attached to each driver.

9.0 MAINTENANCE

The locking nut and retaining bolts should be inspected on a regular basis to ensure they are kept tight. LUMISHORE recommends general

inspection of the light module, driver, and cable attachments every month.

The glass lens should be kept clean with a plastic scraper or soft brush. Regular cleaning of the lens will ensure that the Light module delivers

maximum optical output. Do not use an abrasive cloth or cleaning agent as permanent damage to the lens may occur.

To prolong device lifetime and prevent marine growth build up, a good quality antifouling system should be used to coat the external body of

the device. This should be renewed regularly. A transparent anti-foul should also be used on the lens surface.
