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
requirements as 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:

1. 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.

2. The light should be mounted level and even to insure maximum
visibility of the light.

1. Connect the black wire to the boat’s DC ground and the blue wire to the
boat’s DC positive power source. NOTE: DO NOT CONNECT THE BROWN
WIRE. Ensure that the supplied voltage is greater than 8V and less
than 31 V DC. Weems & Plath does not guarantee any light connected
improperly or to an incorrect voltage. Always verify proper DC voltage
before nal connections are made.

2. WARNING: The current draw of the Steaming/Masthead Light is 0.4
Amps at 12V DC. The power circuit should include proper fusing or a
circuit breaker with a trip current of 1 Amps.

3. Check the light with a battery after installation is complete to ensure
proper operation.

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 sucient 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
