5.3 MULTI-COLOUR CONTROL
The E3 Multi Colour has three modes of operation, single colour mode, strobe mode and cycle / programming mode:
1. Single colour mode
– this mode is entered when the light is first turned on. The light will be a single colour,
either a default white, or a previously selected colour.
2. Strobe mode
– to enter this mode, turn off the light for less than 1 second, then back on again. The light will
flash in a pseudo-random pattern - the colour will be the same as that in single colour mode.
3. Cycle / Program mode, to enter this toggle the power to the unit off twice for less than 1 second each time. The
light will then slowly cycle and fade through the colour spectrum (see diagram below for cycle order). It can be
left in cycling if required, or alternatively, once the light shows the desired colour this can be stored by switching
the light off for more than 2 seconds. When the light is switched back on it will be back in single colour mode,
displaying the previously selected colour.
NOTE: If during the above operations, one or more lights connected go out of sync, simply switch off the lights for more
than 2 seconds, then re-enter cycle mode to re-select the colour.
Colour Cycle Sequence:
Blue ----> White ----> Green ----> Blue ----> Red ----> Green (then repeat)
5.4 MAINTENANCE
Marine growth can build up quickly on the light and can reduce the performance in just a few weeks.
To help prevent this, all OceanLED lights have been coated with a specialized Tritonium® coating which makes the
surface of the glass lens a non-stick layer. Lights should be cleaned with a boat brush or similar biweekly, or as needed
to keep the lens of the light clean.
Growth varies greatly around the world and maintenance is imperative to the proper operation and longevity of the
product. If heavy fouling occurs, barnacles can be removed from the lens using a plastic scraper and moderate pressure
under water. If cleaning the lens while the boat is out of the water, wet the lens before scraping. Never scrape or try to
remove barnacles from a dry lens.
Never use high pressure jet wash to clean the lens / bezel.
5.5 LIGHT CARTRIDGE REMOVAL
– SINGLE MOUNTING TUBE
Before proceeding with this operation, you MUST seek permission from either the manufacturer or your
OceanLED representative.
DO NOT remove the light cartridge from the mounting tube during installation. The light cartridge MUST stay
fitted inside the mounting tube throughout the installation process to avoid the introduction of potential
contaminants that may damage the product.
Additional items required not supplied by OceanLED:
•
Allen key (2mm).
1. If the vessel is in water check that the front glass is present and intact. Never remove a cartridge with the
vessel in water if damage to the glass lens is suspected.
2. Turn power off and unplug all the connector on the back of light.
3. Remove the locking ring from the mounting tube.
