6. accidental short circuits The cold filament current surge may appear to the power supply as a direct short circuit and so will trip the foldback circuit It is often necessary to modify the power supply to desensitize this foldback circuit in order to allow the momentary high current necessary to heat the filament We suggest that the power supply manufacturer s application recommendations be followed whenever applicable Varying Operational Voltages The various lamps will operate at voltages other than the nominal recommended voltage affecting lamp life and color temperature Undervoltage will increase lamp life while overvoltage will rapidly decrease lamp life Connector Options Two different industry standard underwater connectors can be used with the DropLite a Subconn type 3 pin male bulkhead connector model BH3M and an XSG type The standard connector pinouts are illustrated below BH3MP XSG3BCL 1 Hot 1 Ground to shell 2 Neutral 2 Neutral 3 Ground to shell 3 Hot Figure 1 Standard DropLite Connector Pinouts 4 Electrical and Thermal Warnings It is essential that caution is exercised whenever electricity is utilized in or near the water AC current is certainly more dangerous but even 12 volts DC can pose an electrocution hazard under certain circumstances A Ground Fault Interrupt should be used whenever high voltage lights are being utilized when divers are in the water this is especially critical Do not ope

9. eld Repair Procedure Before any field replacement of a DropLite component is initiated the work area must be made as clean as possible The surface used to work on should be dirt and lint free Once a suitable work space has been established use the following procedure 1 To make servicing the DropLite easier it is desirable to first remove the connector socket assembly from the body This can be done by firmly grasping the body with one hand and twisting the connector socket assembly in a counterclockwise direction with the other hand taking care to grip the body only and not the envelope itself 2 Once the connector socket assembly has been removed stand the DropLite body on end to avoid having the O rings accumulate any particles from the work surface which may inhibit their sealing function To remove the existing envelope from the DropLite body a Place the body on a clean flat surface and hold in place with one hand b Using a small jewelers type slotted screwdriver or the point of a small awl push the flange of the spiral retaining ring out of it s groove toward the envelope and push up c Once the flange has cleared the top of the body sufficiently grip the exposed end and slowly twist the spiral retaining ring out of the groove taking care not to twist it out of shape the ring can be reused if it maintains its original form 3 Clean out any broken glass and debris from the body before installing the new envelope A ve

13. ng cable lengths current draw of the lamp cold filament power surge and lamp life at various voltages Voltage Requirements The power supply must of course be able to supply sufficient voltage to the light however in many cases especially with low voltage lights the output voltage from the power supply must be much higher than the lamp voltage The reason for this is that a significant amount of power is lost due to the electrical resistance of the power cable The voltage drop over a length of cable can be calculated by using the formula V IR where V is the voltage drop I is the current draw of the light in amps and R is the total electrical resistance of the power cable in ohms The current draw of a particular lamp can be calculated if the wattage and voltage of the lamp are known The current draw is equal to the lamp wattage divided by the lamp voltage or amps watts volts For example referring to the table of electrical resistances of various wire gauges listed below we can calculate the voltage required to operate a 24 volt 300 watt light at 24 volts over 250 feet of 16 gauge cable The current draw of a 24 volt 300 watt lamp operating at 24 volts is 300 watts 24 volts 2 12 5 amps The resistance of 16 gauge wire is approximately 4 ohms 1000 feet Since the total path of the circuit is from the power supply to the light and back to the power supply the total resistance of the cable is twice the length of the cable times the lin
14. rate AC powered lights without a GFI Additionally all high voltage lights should be case grounded for safety If a protective glass dome is broken and the light floods a short circuit will likely occur The current will flow to the ground reference if the body of the light is grounded then the short circuit will occur between the hot lead and the body of the light rather than the water surrounding the light It is also important not to burn a light in air for more than a few seconds unless that light has been specifically designed for this purpose Most lights become quite hot under normal operation and rely on the surrouding water to provide cooling When an underwater light is burned in air the resulting heat buildup can pose a fire hazard If the light is operated for testing purposes in air be sure to let it cool down for a couple of minutes before immersing it in water It is also a good idea to turn the light off a few seconds prior to removing it from the water These precautions minimize the thermal shock on the pyrex glass envelope thermal shock is a rapid change in temperature which can cause the pyrex to crack If a certain application requires 4 DropLite User Manual 9 14 04 the light to be operated in a wet dry environment DSPL recommends using lamps of 100 watts orless Extreme caution must be used when handling lights burning in air due to the high operating temperatures 5 DropLite Glass Envelope Replacement Emergency Fi
