Connecting the DC Power Kit
1. It is imperative that either the OceanLED supplied fuse is fitted to the power circuit of each light or a suitable
protection device is used to protect the cable/light unit. It is important to also ensure the polarity is correct.
Failure to do so will void the warranty of the unit. It is recommended to use our 4-way fused junction box. See
the table in Section 2 for power consumption and recommended fuse values.
2. Using waterproof butt splices or IP66 waterproof junction boxes, make the connections at either end of the
system to attach the lights to the DC system. (Red wire = +12/24V DC, Black wire = GND). Make sure any
heatshrink used completely encapsulates the outer wire sheath (the use of glue-lined heatshrink is highly
recommended to ensure water tightness).
Corrosion of wire and/or water ingress into the light unit via cable is NOT covered under warranty.
3. Secure cables ensuring where the cable exits the light it is not under undue stress.
4. Install and connect the lighting control system, please see chapter 4.4 for the control system installation.
5. Finish and test the light units
BEFORE
the vessel goes into the water.
Never install a new light fixture then leave the vessel in the water unchecked for several days.
