Product Usage Instructions

Lamp Operation and Service Mode Activation
After operating for 25,000 hours, the lamp enters ‘Service Mode’ where it flashes at a specific rate. This rate changes after an additional 2000 hours of operation. It is recommended to replace the lamp when it enters the second Service Mode stage to maintain light output criteria.

Lamp Positioning Recommendations
The lamp positioning depends on its type:

Port and Starboard Lamps: Parallel to the vessel’s centerline and in a vertical position. Must be mounted at the same height above the waterline, marking the effective beam of the vessel.
Stern Lamps: Positioned at right angles to the vessel’s centerline and in a vertical position.

FAQ

What should I do when the lamp enters Service Mode?
When the lamp enters Service Mode, it will flash at a specific rate. It is recommended to replace the lamp to maintain its light output criteria.
How should I position the lamps on my vessel?
Port and Starboard lamps should be parallel to the vessel’s centerline and at the same height above the waterline. Stern lamps should be positioned at right angles to the vessel’s centerline.

NaviLED® PRO Integrated Timer

To ensure long term safety, this NaviLED® PRO lamp is equipped with a timing circuit.
Once the lamp has operated for a total time of 25,000 hours, the lamp activates ‘Service Mode’.
Service Mode is indicated by the lamp flashing at a rate of 60 flashes per minute for 15 seconds as soon as the lamp is switched on. This will occur for 15 seconds every time the lamp is switched on until the unit has operated for a further 2000 hours.
After this additional 2000 hours the Service Mode flash rate doubles to 120 flashes per minute for 15 seconds as soon as the lamp is switched on.
To ensure the lamp meets the light output criteria of its certification, Hella marine recommends the lamp be replaced as soon as it enters this 2000 hours Service Mode stage. By normal recreational boating standards, even with regular night sailing, Service Mode will hardly ever be reached.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
This LED lamp is an electronic device. The electrical circuits contain components that suppress possible interference, both emission as well as susceptibility, to the limits prescribed in international regulations.

Protection against damage due to voltage spikes
This lamp is protected against reverse polarity connection, positive voltage spikes of +500 volts and negative voltage spikes of 500 volts.

Lamp positioning

General recommendations
The signal arrow should point

right ahead for port / starboard lamps
right astern for stern lamps.

When the lamp is operating, the light
should not be obstructed or concealed by superstructures or other objects.

Port and Starboard lamps:
Parallel to the vessel’s centre line (see Fig.1) and in a vertical position (see Fig.2).
Must be mounted in the same thwartships position and at the same height above the construction water line, but at least 1 metre lower than the masthead lamp. Lamps should mark the effective beam of the vessel; if this is not possible, the distance between the side lamps should not be less than 85% of the maximum beam of the vessel.

Stern lamps:
At right angles to the vessel’s centre line (see Fig. 1) and in a vertical position (see Fig.2).

Wiring Colour Coding
LED modules are polarity conscious. Reverse polarity will not damage this product but will inhibit its function.
HELLA recommends wire connections be soldered, and heat shrink tubing applied to seal the joint.

Note: Lamp must be protected by a fuse rated at 3 amperes maximum.

Assembly

Step 1 – Make provision for the power cable Use mounting shroud as a template to drill screw holes and make provision for the cable.
Step 2 – Mount the Shroud

Arrow on top of shroud must point straight ahead.
Fix shroud with two M5 or 10 gauge fasteners.
Step 3 – Insert the optic assembly
Note : Arrow on top of shroud and arrow on top of optic assembly must point in the same direction.
Feed power cable through shroud
Push optic assembly into shroud
Connect power
