REMOTE OCEAN SYSTEMS SEASTAR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL 4.5. Temperature Protection 4.5.1. 120VAC The AC light will reduce the current output of the driver up to half the total value if an overheating condition is detected by the driver. The light will have to be power cycled to return to normal operation.
Pre- and post-operation checks are listed in Section 4. No other scheduled maintenance is recommended. 5.2. Unscheduled Maintenance 5.2.1. Open the Seastar Opening the Seastar entails removing the end bell, bezel, and window. In order to open the Seastar, e.g., to troubleshoot or inspect internal components, proceed as follows. Refer to Figure 11. WARNING Disconnect the Seastar from power prior to servicing or troubleshooting internal components.
SEASTAR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Figure 11. Driver Circuit Card Connections 5.2.2. Close the Seastar In order to close the Seastar after it has been opened, proceed as follows. CAUTION The acrylic window and o-rings should not normally be reused once the Seastar has been disassembled as this may lead to leaks in service.
5.2.3. Remove the Reflector and LED Array In order to remove the reflector and gain access to the LED array, proceed as follows. Refer to Figure 13. WARNING Disconnect the Seastar from power prior to servicing or troubleshooting internal components. 1. Open the Seastar (5.2.1).
REMOTE OCEAN SYSTEMS SEASTAR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL 2. Remove and discard the window. 3. Remove and discard the window o-ring. 4. Remove and save the reflector screws. 5. Remove and save the reflector. 6. Remove and save the thick yellow plastic cushion and the thin, translucent plastic insulator.
5. Place the thin, translucent insulator over the cushion and align the holes. NOTE If the reflector is severely misaligned to the LEDs, Seastar light output may be reduced as much as 10%. 6. Place the reflector over the insulator. Align the cutouts to the LEDS, and install the two reflector screws.
5.2.6. Remove and Replace the Driver Circuit Card To replace the driver circuit card, proceed as follows. Refer to Figure 17. WARNING Disconnect the Seastar from power prior to servicing or troubleshooting internal components. 1. Remove the end bell and disconnect the wiring (5.2.1).
REMOTE OCEAN SYSTEMS SEASTAR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Figure 15. U4 on Top Layer 24VDC Driver Board Figure 16. Q1 on Bottom Layer 24VDC Driver Board 5. Insert and tighten the two mounting screws shown in Figure 17. 6. Close the Seastar (5.2.2).
6.1. Leaking The Seastar has three seals, one under the window, one at the end bell, and one under the connector. These seals are unlikely to leak when assembled correctly, and are not sensitive to minor assembly deviations. If a leak is discovered during the warranty period, contact Remote Ocean Systems for warranty support.
Replacing a shorted component may not address the root cause of failure, leading rapidly to a second failure. If the root cause of a short cannot be confidently identified and resolved, contact ROS support prior to replacing any components or rebuilding the light.

Disconnect the Seastar from power prior to servicing or troubleshooting internal components. Seastar contains high voltages and currents, and should be serviced only by trained technicians. 9. If the problem has not been identified and resolved, open the light (5.2.1).
REMOTE OCEAN SYSTEMS SEASTAR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Figure 19. Driver Input and Output Power Pins 6.5. Serial Light Does Not Respond to Commands If the light does not respond to serial commands, consider the following guidance. 1. If the light does not operate or draw current, consider the guidance in Section 6.4.
7. Parts List Table 7 lists the parts in the Seastar. Figure 20 shows the front explode view. Figure 21 shows the back explode view. The main connector assembly is not listed, since it depends on the specific customer configuration.
