NaviLED PRO Self Diagnostic Control
®
To ensure long term safety at sea, each BSH certified NaviLED
equipped with a self diagnostic control.
A photometrical self-test is carried out by the lamp in periodic intervals. If the light output, and
consequently the visibility, reaches a pre-determined value, the lamp activates 'Service Mode'.
Service Mode is indicated by the lamp flashing at a rate of 60 flashes per minute for 15 sec-
onds 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 2000 hours.
After 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 light module be replaced as soon as it enters this 2000 hour Service Mode stage.
The 2000 Service Mode flash rate should not occur earlier than tens of thousands of hours. By
regular recreational boating standards, even with regular night sailing, this stage will hardly ever
be reached.

225° Masthead Navigation Lamp
Introduction
Hella marine LED Navigation Lamps offer many advantages over conventional bulb lamps.
Significantly reduced power consumption, ultra long life and high tolerance to shock and vibration
make the LED lamps the ideal choice for the harsh marine environment.
Hella marine NaviLED PRO Navigation Lamps are 'Precision Optical Instruments', tested and
®
type approved to comply with international maritime regulations.
Positioning of the lamp:
The masthead lamp must be positioned at
right angles to the vessel's centre line with the
signal direction arrow pointing straight ahead.
(see Fig. 1)
Prevent obstruction to the light output
When the lamp is operating, the light should
not be obstructed or concealed by superstruc-
tures or other objects.
Vertical Positioning
On a powerboat between 12 and 20 metres in
length the Masthead lamp must be placed at
a height above the gunwale of not less than
2.5 metres.
On a powerboat less than 12 metres in length
the Masthead lamp must be placed at least 1
metre higher than the sidelights.
Horizontal Positioning
On a powerboat less than less than 20 metres
in length the Masthead lamp need not be
placed forward of amidships, but must be
placed as far forward as practicable taking
into account the vertical positioning require-
ments above the gunwale or sidelights as
described above.

N.b. The relevant country specific rules have
to be taken into consideration.
