Page 8: Installation
When installing, be sure that the light fits the area and secures to the hull using the appropriate hardware before applying any sealant. When applying sealant to the light fixture, use OceanLED packaging material such as the light cardboard box when placing the light on the ground face down to prevent lens damage. - Page 9 EXPLORE E6 & E7 INSTALL & OPERATION MANUAL Installation Overview: Exploded view of the assembly Exploded view of the assembly with the Delrin Isolation Kit...
- Page 10 Make sure sealant fills in the recess groove on the reverse of the light head. 4. To guarantee correct light orientation ensure the OceanLED logo on the reflector is in the correct orientation before inserting it in the hull (typically the logo is located at the top). For Explore E7 TH angled fitment, ensure the light angle is correct for the location before fitting the light.
- Page 11 EXPLORE E6 & E7 INSTALL & OPERATION MANUAL 5. Insert the light body into the hull, feeding the stem through first and seat into place. Press the light hard into the hull and twist slightly to spread the sealant around behind the light to ensure good adhesion. *Installation With Delrin Isolation Kit This process is made much easier if a second person is inside the hull to receive the light and install the clamping equipment whilst supporting the light from the outside.
- Page 12 EXPLORE E6 & E7 INSTALL & OPERATION MANUAL 6. If using a Delrin Isolation Kit, insert the isolation kit rear washer over the stem and locate it flush with the hull. 7. Insert the stainless-steel compression washer over the stem at the back. *Installation With Delrin Isolation Kit The stainless-steel compression washer does not need to be flat to the hull, the washer can compensate a slightly uneven surface.
- Page 13 EXPLORE E6 & E7 INSTALL & OPERATION MANUAL 9. Locate the latches into the appropriate grooves (depending on hull thickness) on outside of the stem so that the end of the bolt is close to the washer. Fix the two latches together and screw down the joining bolt to the same position as the others.
