Navigation Lighting

The document discusses the operation of a navigation light circuit. When power is supplied, the relay circuit is energized which illuminates the navigation light. If the navigation light or indicating lamp fails, the circuit remains intact to keep the light on. If the navigation light or fuse fails, the relay is de-energized and the buzzer circuit engages. The circuit can be switched to an emergency power supply. Requirements for the navigation light circuit include accessible and protected distribution, direct connection to main power, emergency supply switching, individual control and protection of each light, and automatic extinction indication.

navigation lighting

Operation-When the double


pole switch is closed the navigation light is illuminated. Current in the relay circuit
causes the relay coil to energise so contact 'a' ,may be attracted to 'b'. A low voltage
lamp only is needed for the indicating lamp, so there is a small voltage drop across that
part of the circuit. If the indicating lamp fails the circuit is completed through the
resistance C, so the navigation light does not fail.

If the navigation light fails, or if a fuse blows the current in the circuit ceases and the
relay de-energises. Contact 'a' springs back to contact 'b' and the buzzer circuit is
completed.

In case of failure of ships mains, the double pole switch may be switched over to
emergency supply.

Requirements
• Circuit supplied from distribution board provided for that purpose which is easily accessible to
the officer of the watch.
• Must be connected directly or through a transformer to the main or emergency switchboard.
No switches in between.
• Provision on the bridge to transfer lights to alternative source of supply.
• Each navigation light must be controlled and protected at both poles by a switch and fuse, or
circuit breaker, mounted ON the distribution board.
• Each provided with automatic indication of extinction of light by aural and/or visual indication.
• The visual device must be so connected that its failure does not extinguish the navigation light
circuit
