3.3 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION (12/24V DC)
Always consult a qualified electrician when connecting OceanLED light fixtures. 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.
Additional items required not supplied by OceanLED:
•
Cable ties
•
Waterproof cable connectors / Butt splices glue lined heat shrink / Power Junction Box *
•

•
Sufficient cable to connect to DC Power Source

*Optional 4-Way Junction box
–
simple fused Junction Box for splitting and distributing DC power (12/24V DC), available from
OceanLED. Please contact OceanLED or your representative for further information.
**2-Way DMX Junction box, for splitting and distributing DC power (12/24V DC) and DMX signals, available from OceanLED. Please
contact OceanLED or your representative for further information.
For complete instructions on DC connections, please refer to ABYC codes of practice and other applicable
codes and ordinates for DC connections.
When multiple lights are being fitted, particularly in 12V systems, it is recommended to use a relay system to
supply switched power to the lights. This helps reduce the load on the switch and minimizes voltage drops
caused by long cable runs to the switch location.
Connecting light/s to your DC Power Source
OceanLED Sport models require a 12 or 24V DC supply. This supply should be a minimum of 6A @12V or 3A
@ 24V DC per light. It is recommended to connect the light to the DC power source using a two pole, screw type
terminal block with a minimum voltage rating of 50V and a current rating of at least 6A. The ends of the cable
should
be stripped back (if required) and suitable ferrules fitted. The terminal block should be fixed inside a
waterproof enclosure (IP66 minimum).
Connecting the light fixture
Sport Single / Dual Colour / Multi Colour
For the Sport single, dual colour and multi colour connect DC power +Ve to the RED wire, and DC power -Ve to the
