3.3 MAKING THE CONNECTIONS
Always consult a qualified electrician when connecting OceanLED cameras
Please note that all OceanLED camera units operate within a specific voltage range. Please check the
electrical information to ensure cable gauge follow the recommendations.
All connections MUST be enclosed inside a waterproof housing / junction box.
Never leave the connections / bare cables unprotected. Take care to not leave the bare wire ends / connectors
in bilge water before making the waterproof connections. Water deposits in the connectors and cables will
cause corrosion. Over time water can also work its way into the unit along the inside of the cable due to
capillary action causing the camera to fail. This will NOT be covered under warranty.
For complete instructions on DC connections, please refer to ABYC codes of practice and other applicable
codes and ordinates for DC connections.
1. Using either the OceanLED Eyes Camera Connector Enclosure, or a suitable waterproof enclosure, connect
the camera connections to the provided 10m Video & Power Combo cable. If using the standard composite
video output (PAL/NTSC)
– connect the video cable BNC connector to the yellow connector. If using the HD
video output, connect the video cable BNC connector to the BNC connector with the thinner black wire.
It is
imperative to ensure that these connections (and the unused connections) are fully watertight.
Warranty will be void if these connections are exposed to water.
2. Route the 10m Video & Power Combo cable to the required location, ensuring it is not routed next to areas of
high heat. Secure the cable fully along its length to avoid chaffing.
3. Pull the correct sized power cable from the DC power source (breaker/fuse panel) to the location of the end of
the 10m Power & Video Combo cable. Note that it is imperative that the correct sized tinned marine grade
cable is used to avoid voltage drop issues.
4. Using waterproof butt splices and/or a waterproof junction box, make the connections at either end of the
system to attach the camera power. Connect power to the DC regulator ensuring the correct polarity is
observed (RED +Ve, Black -Ve). Make sure any heat-shrink used completely encapsulates the outer wire
sheath (the use of glue-lined heat shrink is highly recommended to ensure water tightness).
5. Plug the output of the voltage regulator unit into the socket on the end of the power/video combo cable. Ensure
that this connection is fully waterproofed (Glue lined heat-shrink is recommended).
