PERKO 1060 - Manual

Cat. No. 1060 Series Bases
MOUNTING INFORMATION
Read all instructions before proceeding.
1). For proper light selection, positioning and configuration, refer to A.B.Y.C. Standard A-16*, the
'72 COLREGS*, and the U.S. Inland Rules*.
2). These bases are designed to be mounted on a horizontal surface.
3). Draw a 6” long reference line through the center of the selected mounting location and parallel to the
centerline of the boat.
4). Cut out the mounting template. Place it on the mounting surface such that the reference line (drawn
above) is directly underneath the reference line marked on the template.
5). Drill indicated holes through the template to accommodate #8 oval head mounting screws and socket
as required.
6). Attach supply connections to the light, making sure to wire in accordance with both A.B.Y.C. Standard
E-9* and the U.S. Coast Guard Safety Standards for Boat Electrical Systems (33 CFR 183)*.
For 3-contact bases (Bi-Color lights), the supply leads are coded as follows:
WHITE: Forward compartment (Bi-Color) positive supply lead
GRAY: Aft compartment (Utility) positive supply lead
BLACK: Negative supply lead (Caution: Negative lead connected to case. To avoid
energizing case, observe polarity.)
Electrical connections must be made such that the forward compartment is switched in
conjunction with the other running light(s); aft compartment should be switched with Ignition
(or permanently energized), as a push switch is provided on top of the light. NOTE: All light
circuits must be circuit protected. Use a 1/2 Amp fuse (or breaker) for the courtesy light
circuit and a 2 Amp fuse (or breaker) for the combination light circuit.
7). Mount the base in accordance with the template.
8). Setup for Operation: As pole engages with base, make sure alignment screw in pole
slides into the notch in the base. Push pole until it engages the electrical connector and lock by
rotating the locking collar clockwise.
