Chapter 1: Overview
This handbook provides instructions to assist you in the installation and set up of the Sport Series lights
from OceanLED.
1.1 Identifying your model
S3116s Single Colour
S3124s Dual Colour
1.2 DC power / fuse ratings
The majority of installations will utilize onboard 12/24v DC power supply from a marine battery. However,
if AC to DC power supply is being used, allow at least 15% reserve for voltage fluctuations due to variables
beyond your control such as ambient temperature and supply voltage fluctuations to ensure your lights are
always receiving the proper voltage and to ensure the power supply is not “overworked” causing premature
failure. Use chart below in determining power supplies.
