6. Repeat steps 1-3 for each OceanDMX junction box in the system, connecting in a
‘daisy chain’ fashion (see diagram P17)
7. Turn on the terminator switch in the last OceanDMX junction box in the chain (the
other junction boxes if fitted should have the switch turned off):
8. Connect DC power. See below table for supply requirements
The OceanDMX junction box(s) require a 12 / 24v DC supply. DO NOT CONNECT
TO MAINS AC! The power requirements vary depending on the type and number
of X8 / X16 Colours lights connected to the junction box.
The tables below show the nominal maximum current draw for each junction box
depending on the number of connected lights (ensure the correct table is used
depending on the supply voltage).
For example; the supply current to a junction box with three X16’s and one X8
connected would be 11.6 Amps with a 12V DC supply.

The required supply cable gauge will depend on the current draw (from the tables
above) and the length of the cable run from the fuse / breaker panel to the junction
box.
Please use the cable gauge table in the appendix for the required cable conductor
size per junction box. If in doubt always select the next larger conductor size up
(i.e. the next lower AWG number).
The supply cable must be protected by a suitable fuse or breaker.

FINALISE YOUR INSTALLATION (X SERIES):
Always test the system BEFORE the boat goes back into the water. Typical
OceanLED light installs require the boat to be hauled out of the water to replace
light units.
The DMX standard recommends a maximum of 32 devices to be connected in
one chain. If installation requires more lights than this, please contact OceanLED
for advice.
