4.3 INSTALLATION OF EXPLORE AC POWER KIT
Additional items required not supplied by OceanLED:
•
Screws to secure the Explore AC Power Pack
•
Junction box / waterproof connectors
•
Sufficient cable to connect the Explore AC Power Pack
•
Suitable fuse / breaker(s)
Always consult a qualified electrician when connecting OceanLED light fixtures.
Never use power tools to secure the Explore AC Power Pack: hand tighten only.
When connecting light units, please note that all OceanLED lights will operate within a specific voltage range.
Please check the electrical information to ensure cable gauge, fuse and breakers size follow the
recommendations.
Always mount the Explore AC Power Pack in a dry location, it should not sit in standing water at any time.
The 3-core input is for power (Brown=Live; Blue=Neutral; Green/Yellow=Earth) and the two pin Deutsch
Connector is for the light.
1. Depending on the model and number of lights installed, you will need to pull the correct sized power cable from
the AC Power (breaker/fuse panel) to the Explore AC Power Pack locations. Ensure the correct sized tinned
marine grade cable is used to avoid voltage drop issues.
2. Fix Explore AC Power Pack into required position. Ensure chosen Explore AC Power Pack location is near
enough to connect light cable without applying undue stress.
Never leave the bare cables unprotected. Take care to not leave the bare wire ends 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
light to fail. This will NOT be covered under warranty.
3. Connect the Explore AC Power Pack to the AC Power. Ensure the size fuse/breaker, cable and connector have
the correct specification and are watertight. 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.
4. Connect the Deutsch connector from the Power Pack to the light using the Power Link Cable.
5. Secure cables ensuring where the cable exits the light it is not under undue stress. Finish and test the light units
BEFORE
the vessel goes into the water.
