7. PREPARATION FOR USE

WARNING

Due to damage during transportation leakage can occur. Please check visually
that there is no damage to the front glass, o-rings, electrical plugs and that the
stainless clips are in the lock-down position.

BEFORE USE

1. Remove light from road case # Note – don’t lose the rubber strip that protects the glass
in transit. It will be needed when returning light to road case.

2. Check for damage during transportation – # Note warning above

3. Check that globe is central to the protective glass. If not contact your supplier

4. Plug together the lamp and header cable and secure locking collar.

Ensure locking collars are secure. DO NOT USE THESE TO PULL PLUG TOGETHER.

OMD Technology Instructions for Use of 5000w Tungsten 5

5. Plug together the header cable and RCD box and secure locking collar

6. Test RCD box by pressing the test button

7. To fit supplied par reflector – if required

7a. Remove PAR reflector from road case

7b. Utilise 5mm holes to secure PAR reflector

OMD Technology Instructions for Use of 5000w Tungsten 7

7c. Fit PAR reflector over protective glass

7d. Using a long shank screw driver secure the 4 x 5mm screws.

7e. Ensure that the glass and the black aluminium ring don’t touch all around. If so loosen

screws and re-fit PAR reflector. This is important as the glass may crack when in operation.

8. QUICK GUIDE TO 8-PIN CONNECTORS

Assembling 8-pin Connectors

Female eight-pin connector.

Find correct position by locating stainless steel locator
pin. Push firmly to join connection. A small amount of
silicone grease or spray (ONLY) can aid the process.

Male eight-pin connector with stainless steel locator pin.

Ensure locking collars are secure. DO NOT USE
THESE TO PULL PLUG TOGETHER.

All eight-pin plugs are joined in the same manner (cable­to-cable, cable-to-light-fixture and cable-to-earth-leakage
device). . Push firmly to join connection. A small amount
of Silicone grease or spray (ONLY) can aid the process.

When using OMD lighting equipment, always ensure that the supplied earth leakage device is connected.
Always test the earth leakage before use by pressing the test button located next to the main switch in the
earth leakage device labelled ‘TEST’. The red LCD light will be illuminated when power is running through
the box.

WARNING: ALL LIGHTS MUST ONLY BE OPERATED WITH EARTH LEAKAGE INLINE.

OMD Technology Instructions for Use of 5000w Tungsten 10

Ensure locking collars are secure. DO NOT USE THESE

TO PULL PLUG TOGETHER.

9. USING THE LIGHT UNDERWATER

1. The light can be hand-held or placed on a lighting stand. The 5/8 receiver is designed
to accommodate many different types of spigots.

2. Be careful not to pull on the electrical cables. A simple short piece of rope tying the

cable to the bail arm can help in many situations. Please note: Additional cable maybe

required in strong currents. Talk to your supplier about the intended use of the light.

3. Always allow no less than 5 minutes for the light to cool in the water before removal.

Do not place the light less than 1 metre away from an object. Do not stand the
light down on the lens brackets onto a surface when on. Heat can reflect back
into the light causing damage or possible injury or death.

Do not touch the protective glass tube at any stage during use and after. Burning
hazards may result.

The light is depth rated to a maximum of 30 metres (100ft)

Do not exceed this depth.

Water inside the housing (especially sea water) can have fatal consequences
due to conduction of electricity and build up of pressure from the vaporising of
water to steam. Therefore, during the use of the light, please check repeatedly,
whether water has found its way inside. Do this by holding the light on a slant
pointing down, with the ray of light pointing away from the body. Then look at the
front glass from the side. If there is water inside the housing, cease operation
immediately by turning off the light and returning to the surface. Please allow the
light to cool for not less than 5 minutes before removing it from the water.

OMD Technology Instructions for Use of 5000w Tungsten 11

11. AFTER USE

1. Allow light to cool for no less than 5 minutes in the water.

2. Rinse in fresh water.

3. Dry light adequately before placing it back into the road case.

4. Insure that you fit the length of rubber supplied over the bulb before closing. This can
be found in the road case and prevents the bail arm from damaging the protective
glass.

Do not pack light head in roadcase if hot or warm. Burning hazards from the packing
material may result.

12. TRANSPORT

1. Ensure that light head is placed back into the supplied road case as it arrived. .

2. Ensure that all locking clips are in the lock-down (secured) position.

13. TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Cause

ction to be taken

Condensation
on glass

Water in
housing

Lamp does not
turn ON with no
tripping from
ELCB unit

1. Small amount of moisture in
ambient air when light was
sealed.

1. This may occur only when the
light is off or in the process of
cooling. Operation is not
effected.

2. Water has entered the light
housing (o-ring defect or
contaminated)

2. If you notice condensation during
operation of the light. Stop use
immediately, isolate electrically
and cool the light in the water
before removal. Contact your
supplier.

3. Defective o-ring or
contaminated

3. Stop use immediately, isolate
electrically and cool light in the
water then remove. Contact your
supplier.

4. Glass has cracked 4. Stop use immediately, isolate
electrically and cool light in the
water then remove. Be careful of
broken glass. Place light back
into road case. Contact your
supplier.

5. Power not ON

5. Check power is turned on at the
ELCB unit supplied.

6. Bulb fault. 6. Check state of bulb.

7. Connectors not joined
together.

7. Check all connectors are joined
together with locking collars tight.

ELCB trips
when light

is turned ON or
in use.

8. Connector is not joined or in
the wrong configuration.

8. Isolate electrically. Make sure
that the connectors have be
mated correctly (refer to page10)
Re-connect and ensure locking
collars have been tightened.

9. Water in electrical
connectors.

9. Isolate electrically. Disassemble
the connectors and check to
make sure there is no water
present. Dry and re-assemble. A
small about of silicone grease
will not affect the electrical
connection.

10. Cable has been damaged 10. Cable may have been damaged
while in use. Check along the
length of all cables.

11. Water in the light housing 11. Refer to above (Water in
housing)

12. Light head is faulty 12. Remove from water and contact
your supplier.

Water inside the housing (especially sea water) can have fatal consequences due to
conduction of electrically and build up of pressure from the vaporizing of water to
steam. Therefore, during the use of the light please check repeatedly, whether water
has found its way inside. Do this by holding the light on a slant pointing down, thus the
ray of light pointing away from the body. Then look at the front glass from the side. If
there is water inside the housing cease operation immediately by turning off the light
and returning to the surface. Please allow the light to cool for not less than 5minutes
before removing it from the water.
