WARNING

• Before installing your OceanLED Light, read and follow all warning notices and instructions which are included. Failure to follow safety warnings and instructions can result in property damage, severe injury, or even death.
• Before installing your OceanLED Light, check local laws for restrictions regarding the use of colored lights in your area.
• It is advised not to operate lights out of water for a period longer than 5 minutes. Exceeding this may cause damage to the light unit
• Salt is an inherently corrosive material. Metal parts and certain natural and man-made surfaces are particularly susceptible to corrosion and deterioration when used in and around salt water. Some OceanLED lights contain combinations of plastic and polymer products which are impervious to salt water corrosion, however, screws and fasteners used for the installation must be of a marine grade type stainless steel or equivalent and monitored annually to ensure the lights remain in service for years to come.
• Never Use Solvents! Cleaners, fuel, and other products that may contain strong solvents, such as acetone, that attack many plastics greatly reducing their strength and irreversibly damaging the special lens coatings and cable sheathings.
• Never connect/disconnect lights with power applied as irreversible damage may occur. Ensure the polarity of power connections is correct. Failure to do this may invalidate the warranty.
• Never clean lights using a high-pressure jet wash – this will invalidate the warranty. Please avoid coating the front of the light/lens without consulting OceanLED. Failure to do so will invalidate your warranty.

DANGER! Risk of Electrical Shock or Electrocution!
This underwater light must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician in accordance with all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard that could result in death or serious injury to swimmers, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property. Always  disconnect the power to the light at the circuit breaker before servicing the light. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to servicemen, swimmers, or others due to electrical shock.

Finding The Mounting Location

Considerations

• Design – Your new OceanLED Dock Light(s) have a wide-angle light beam that allows you to engineer a beautiful look around your property. Consider even spacing, boat traffic, tidal fluctuations, storms, seasons, and the overall desired effect when designing your installation.
• Depth – Fixed Piling or Bulkhead – The lights should be mounted approximately 300mm – 500mm (UK) / 12″ – 20″ (US) below mean low water. Keep in mind that you will want them mounted within reach of a cleaning brush on a pole for standard maintenance.
• Spacing – Your lights should be spaced evenly between 5 feet to 10 feet (1.5 meters to 3.0 meters) apart depending on the effect you wish to achieve, the clarity of the water  (clear water: 10 feet/3 meters; dirty water: 5 feet/1.5 meters), and considering the overall design of the installation.

Example Single / Dual Colour Dock Light Installation

Chapter 2: Installation

Note: OceanLED makes every effort to protect our marine and freshwater environment as well as our natural resources. Please take care to keep packaging away from and out of the water by ensuring loose packaging materials are secured and not susceptible to being blown into the water. Please recycle all packaging materials as the sustainability of our environment is everyone’s responsibility.

WARNINGS:
• Never use power tools to secure your lights; hand tightens only.
• We recommend you use the screws provided. If alternative screws are used, do not use counter sunk or nonflat shoulder screws to secure your lights.
• Please check all components prior to installation. If there is any damage to connectors, cables, and/ or any other component, please notify OceanLED BEFORE installation.  Failure to notify OceanLED of damage in transit prior to installation will lead to a violation of warranty.
• Do not submerse your cable in water; cable and connections exposed to underwater submersion will not be covered by warranty. Mounting the light in any other configuration, other than those described in this guide, will invalidate its warranty. Any incorrectly bonded conduit pipes to the dock light support that allow water ingress will not be covered under warranty.

2.1 Installing The Dock Light Fixture

Fixed

1. Install ½ inch PVC conduit into the dock light, feeding the cable through the conduit, ensuring the conduit end surface that is bonded to the dock light support has a continuous smooth surface and that a waterproof bond is achieved. Bond the conduit to the dock light using PVC solvent weld adhesive (not supplied).
   NOTE: The conduit must be fully sealed along all its length and at the point of cable entry to prevent water ingress – failure to do so will invalidate the warranty.

2. Mark the positioning of the 2x mounting holes and drill a pilot hole or adequate-sized hole for the screw anchor/wall plug.

3. Attach the unit to the installation surface using the 2x screws provided.

4. Once the light is installed protect the point of cable entry into the conduit from water ingress.

Floating

1. Install ½ inch PVC conduit into the dock light, feeding cable through the conduit, and ensure the conduit end surface that is bonded to the dock light support has a continuous smooth surface and that a waterproof bond is achieved. Bond the conduit to the dock light using PVC solvent weld adhesive (not supplied).

2. Install the other end of the conduit into to Tee adapter feeding the cable through the 90⁰ exit and bond in place using PVC solvent weld adhesive (not supplied).
   NOTE: The conduit must be fully sealed along all its length and at the point of cable entry to prevent water ingress – failure to do so will invalidate the warranty.

3. Mark the positioning of the 4x mounting holes on the metal bracket and drill a pilot hole or adequate-sized hole for the screw anchor/wall plug.

4. Fix the conduit it places using the central detent pin. Ensure the pin is pushed all the way through both sides of the bracket.

5. The light can now be lowered into the water and locked into place using the bottom detent pin.

2.2 Connecting lights to your power source

WARNINGS:

• 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.

Connecting lights to your DC power source

OceanLED Sport models require a 24V DC supply. This supply should be a minimal 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).

Tip: For complete instructions on VDC connections, please refer to The National Electric Code and consult local electrical codes.

WARNING:
Never leave the bare cables unprotected. Take care to not leave the bare wire ends in 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.

1. Depending on the model and number of lights installed, you will need to pull the correct-sized power cable from the DC power source (breaker/fuse panel) to the light locations to supply constant power to the light units. It is imperative that the correct-sized tinned marine grade cable is used to avoid voltage drop issues. See appendix for recommended cable gauges.

2. Using waterproof butt splices or IP66 waterproof junction boxes, make the connections at either end of the system to attach the lights to the DC system. If appropriate, use dielectric grease when making the connections and 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).
   Where multiple lights are fitted, it is advised to use a relay system to supply the switched power to the lights, to reduce the load on the switch and voltage drops caused by long cable runs to the switch location.
   Note: Corrosion of wire, and/or water ingress into the light unit via the cable is NOT covered under warranty.

3. If you are not installing a custom fuse panel, it is imperative that the OceanLED supplied fuse is installed on each power line from each light. Failure to do so will void the warranty. See table in Chapter 1.

4. Secure cables ensuring where the cable exits the light it is not under undue stress. Finish and test light units, if you have any issues and need troubleshooting advice, please contact your local OceanLED representative.

Fuse Kit Connection Overview:

Example connection diagram, single/dual colour:

Example connection diagram, multi-color:

Note: When using the Sport Multi Colour dock lights in an installation using multiple AC power supplies it is recommended to fit relays into the DC supply side of the installation to allow lights to be controlled together and kept in sync. The relays need to be controlled with a common control switch to interrupt the supply to the lights to enable changing the operation mode of the lights. See below for a connection example.

NOTE: All relays should be at least 20A contact rated, normally closed type. Pressing the switch should disconnect the supply to the lights.

Power Supply requirements
A suitably fused 24v supply is required for each light. DO NOT CONNECT DIRECTLY TO MAINS AC!
A 7 Amp fuse/breaker is recommended for each light.
When selecting the mains AC to DC converter(s) it is important to ensure that the overall power requirements are met, allowing a ‘reserve’ of at least 15% of the overall power to allow for losses in cable runs.
When connecting multiple lights to one power source the OceanLED 4-way junction box is recommended as this provides four independent separately fused outputs for each light.

Power Cable selection
It is important to select the correct size cable for the supply to the dock lights. The required cable gauge depends on the current draw and the length of the cable run from the power source to the light(s). Note that where the power source is remote from the power junction box connected to each light, this cable will carry the total current for all the connected lights, and should be sized correctly to prevent excessive voltage drop and power loss.
The cables from the power junction box to the lights themselves can be a smaller gauge, but again should be correctly selected depending on their length to prevent excessive voltage drop. Please refer to the cable gauge diagram in the Appendix.
NOTE: THE SUPPLY CABLE MUST BE PROTECTED BY A SUITABLE FUSE OR BREAKER.

2.3 Finalize your OceanLED installation Test your lights

At this final stage make sure all of the system is operational. See Chapter 3 Operation. If you have any issues, please contact your local OceanLED representative.

Chapter 3: Operation / Maintenance / Replacement Parts

3.1 Dual Colour Operation
The Dual color change has four modes of operation;

1. Single color white – this mode is entered when the light is first turned on.
2. Single color blue
3. Fade – Fade between white and blue.
4. Dual color (blue and white both on)

To cycle between the above modes, turn off the light for less than 1 second, then back on again.
PLEASE NOTE: Fade mode is not guaranteed to stay in sync between lights over time.

3.2 Sport Dual Colour Configuration Mode

Description: Enables selection of either white or blue color as default at power up.

To enter configuration mode:

1. Turn on light(s)
2. Wait around 1 second (or until light(s) illuminate)
3. Turn off light(s)
4. Wait for a minimum of 5 seconds then turn the light(s) back on again.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 another 4 times. (If the light changes mode on repower up then the light has not been turned off for long enough in step 4)
6. On the 5th power up, the light(s) should enter the configuration mode – this will be confirmed with a sequence of five blue/white flashes followed by a steady white (the steady color indicates the default start-up color).

Setting the default start-up color:

1. Once the configuration mode has been entered (see above). Toggling off the power and back on again quickly (as in a normal mode change) will toggle between the default start-up colors (blue & white). This is indicated by the color displayed after the blue/white flash sequence.
2. To save the selected state simply turn off the light(s) when the required start-up color is displayed and wait for 5-10 seconds.
3. The light(s) should now be configured to start with the selected color as default.

3.3 Sport Multi Colour control with DC switch operation:

The Sport Multi Colour has three modes of operation, single color mode, cycle/programming mode, and strobe mode:

1. Single color mode – this mode is entered when the light is first turned on. The light will be a single color, either a default white or a previously selected color.
2. Strobe mode – to enter this mode, turn off the light for less than 1 second, then back on again. The light will flash in a pseudo-random pattern – the color will be the same as that in single-color mode.
3. Cycle / Program mode, to enter this toggle the power to the unit off twice for less than 1 second each time. The light will then slowly cycle and fade through the color spectrum (see diagram below for cycle order). It can be left in cycling if required, or alternatively, once the light shows the desired color this can be stored by switching the light off for more than 2 seconds. When the light is switched back on it will be back in single-color mode, displaying the previously selected color.

NOTE: If during the above operations, one or more lights connected go out of sync, simply switch off the lights for more than 2 seconds, then re-enter cycle mode to re-select the color.

3.4 Sport Multi-Colour cycle:
Blue —-> White —–> Green —–> Blue —–> Red —–> Green (then repeat).

3.5 Cleaning Instructions
Sea growth can collect quickly on the light and this can reduce the performance in just a few weeks. To prevent the build-up of sea growth, all OceanLED lights have been coated with a specialized Tritonium coating which makes the surface of the lens a non-stick layer that helps ward off long-term barnacle buildup. Lights should be cleaned with a boat brush or similar biweekly or as needed to keep the lens of the light clear. Growth varies greatly around the world and maintenance is imperative to the proper operation and longevity of the product. If heavy fouling occurs, barnacles can be removed from the lens using a plastic scraper and moderate pressure. This can be done in the water using a plastic scraper. If out of the water, moisten the growth before wiping.

CAUTION:
Harsh cleaning solvents will damage the light and Tritonium coating.
Never clean lights using a high-pressure jet wash – this will invalidate the warranty. Failure to do so will invalidate your warranty.

3.6 Replacement Parts
The light source of this luminaire is not replaceable; when the light source reached the end of its life the whole luminaire shall be replaced.
Lost, broken and worn parts can be replaced on request and can be obtained through your local OceanLED representative.
If the external flexible cable of this unit is damaged, contact your local OceanLED representative to arrange for replacement (cable must only be replaced by OceanLED, a service agent, or a similarly qualified person).
