MAKING THE CONNECTIONS
All the connections (excluding the audio input) are made using push-type spring
terminals. Maximum cable size is 2.5mm2 (14 AWG).
To make a connection:
1. If required, strip back the wire – leaving approximately 4mm (5/32”) of the bare
conductor. Twist together ensuring that there are no stray strands.
2. Push & hold the plunger of the terminal down fully using a small terminal
screwdriver.
3. Insert the bare end of the cable into the terminal.
4. Release the terminal plunger
5. Test the terminal has clamped correctly by gently pulling on the wire
6. Check for stray strands that may cause shorts

POWER
12/24 V DC operation only – @12v DC max current draw = 300mA
A suitably fused 12 / 24 v DC supply is required to power the OceanDMX
controller.
DO NOT CONNECT TO MAINS AC! This can be sourced either directly from on-
board batteries or via a mains AC to 12V or 24V DC converter.
A minimum of 18 gauge (AWG) cable is recommended. THIS CABLE MUST BE
PROTECTED WITH A SUITABLE FUSE OR BREAKER (1 AMP RECOMMENDED).

POWER INPUT
1. Select the required cable gland insert – two are provided, one suitable for a
multicore single jacket cable (already fitted inside the gland), the other for two
single wire conductors (provided in accessory kit).
2. Thread the cable / wires through the cable gland.
3. Connect the +VE terminal to a +12/24V fused power source.
