3.3 INSTALLATION OF AC POWER KIT
Additional Tools needed that are not supplied by OceanLED
Screws to secure the AC Power Pack
Junction box / waterproof connectors
Sufficient cable to connect to AC Power Pack
Suitable fuse / breaker(s)
Always consult a qualified electrician when connecting OceanLED light fixtures.
Never use power tools to secure the 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 Power Pack in a dry location. Drivers 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 Power Pack locations. Ensure the correct sized tinned marine grade
cable is used to avoid voltage drop issues.
2. Fix Power Pack into required position. Ensure chosen 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 Power Pack to the AC Power. Ensure the size fuse/breaker, cable and connector have the correct
specification and are watertight. 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). Leave the connection
unplugged to eliminate the danger of electrocution.
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 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.
