Weems Plath LX3-MH LX Collection Steaming/Masthead LED Navigation Light
INTRODUCTION
Weems & Plath’s OGM LX Steaming/Masthead LED Navigation Light is designed for power or sailing vessels and will provide full brightness at any operating voltage from 9V to 30V DC. This ensures the light will meet or exceed the visibility requirementsas the battery voltage drops from use. To ensure compliance with the ’72 COLREGS and U.S. Inland Rules, the installation instructions provided below must be followed.
Mounting
- There are three 6-32 stainless steel inserts in the bottom of the light’s housing. This allows the all around light to be mounted to a variety of mounting brackets. Mounting brackets can be purchased from Weems & Plath or your local marine retailer.
- The light should be mounted level and even to ensure maximum visibility of the light.
Wiring
The Steaming/Masthead Light is equipped with a 3-conductor waterproof plug.
The mating connector and 2-foot cable are included. Mast wiring of 20-gauge is
sufficient to supply power to the light, although 16-gauge is recommended.
There are three wires in the supplied mating yellow/black cable, however you
will only use two wires for the Steaming/Masthead Light (#LX3-MH). The proper
connection for these wires is shown in the following diagram:
