MOUNTING

• Find a suitable mounting location and consider your wiring route, surfaces and position. For utilizing the movement-to-col-our function the unit should be mounted in or as close as pos-sible to the rotational centre of the vessel (See full manual for details). Please consider location to prevent Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signal issues.
• Check to ensure there are no obstructions, such as cables or pipes behind your mounting area.
• The unit’s mounting holes are located at the four corners of the lid.
• The provided mounting screws are designed to be compatible with various surfaces, such as wood or fibreglass. Before mount-ing, mark the desired hole positions and drill pilot holes accord-ingly. Take caution to verify the absence of any obstructions, such as cables or pipes behind the drilling area.
• Mount the OceanBridge unit using the screws provided. Ensure all four mounting holes are secured. Tighten screws by hand only.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Power Connection

Use the OceanBridge Power Cable (p/n: 013202; not included with OceanBridge – p/n: 013201). Connect the end with the socket to the OceanBridge NMEA2000/Power port and link the other end to the on-board battery. Connect the +VE Red wire to a +12/24V fused power source. Connect the -VE Black wire to the battery – (Ground) supply.

CAN BUS (NMEA2000)
Connect an NMEA2000 drop cable (not provided) to the OceanBridge NMEA2000/Power port and the other end of the cable to the backbone of the NMEA2000 installation.

MFD Install – Ethernet Connection
Connect the OceanBridge unit to the MFD using the Ethernet cable (not provided). Please refer to the full manual for con-nections with different MFD manufacturers.

Audio
Depending on your audio device, you will need the appropriate audio extension cable/s (not provided). Use the 3.5mm Audio-In input to connect your chosen device as the source of the audio. Connect the external audio system to Audio- Out output.

CONNECTING LIGHTS:

Example: EXPLORE Series E6 & E7 DMX
For the straightforward connection with the Explore E6 & E7 lights, use Explore E6 & E7 Control Link Cable (not provided, see full manual Appendix 9.5). Connect the male plug of the cable with the OceanBridge DMX OUT port and connect the other end to the first light in the DMX chain. Ensure to terminate the last device in the DMX chain with the DMX terminator (optional).

Please ensure you have read the full Installation Manual before fitting this product.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
When first installed or after a factory reset, the system needs to be set up. The setup process allows the discovery or manual addition of lights connected to the DMX network and enables the user to group the lights either into a single zone or multiple zones. The setup can be done either from the MFD via the OceanBridge App or via external devices using the Wi-Fi connection. OceanLED recommends using an external device such as a laptop or mobile phone for the initial setup.

QUICK START LAUNCH
For simple ‘out the box’ operation, the USB memory stick provided with the device is pre-loaded with two standard profiles. A single zone, with either RGBW colours lights or dual colour lights. These simple setups will allow control of your lights.

1. To access the quick start setup, insert the USB stick with the setup files into the OceanBridge USB port.
2. Open the main menu and navigate to: System > Backup & Restore, and select ‘RECALL BACKUP’.
3. Within the pop-up window, select the USB stick as the file location, and then tap on ‘SELECT VALUE’ to display the files.
4. Select the file related to the installed light type and select ‘RESTORE’ to restore the setup file. Later the system can be tailored further using the more advanced setup outlined below.

STANDARD LAUNCH
For more advanced systems where multi-zones, different light types, or sweep functionality is required, the system will need to be setup using the following procedure:

1. From the main menu navigate to: Settings > Device Setup, then ‘Discover’ or ‘Manual Add’ to add your lights. ‘Discover’ will automatically discover OceanLED E6, E7 and Sport / E3 DMX lights. For all other lights
   ‘Manual Add’ should be used.

2. To create zones, from the main menu navigate to: Settings > Zone Setup, then select ‘New’ and name your zones based on their location. You must select the correct light type for each zone. Each light should then be added to the relevant zone. E.g. Transom.

3. The zones will be listed on the screen and added to the home page as zone cards, where they can be controlled.

USING THE SYSTEM

• After zones have been added they will appear on your OceanBridge home screen.
• Light colour, mode, speed etc., can all be controlled by selecting the individual zones.
• Configured zones are displayed, with each presented as a separate ‘Zone Card.’ Each zone can be independently turned on or off by pressing the toggle button on the respective Zone Card. Additionally, by selecting the gears icon on the zone card, you can choose the zone effects.
• The sweep function is activated via the icon located at the top right of the home screen.

ZONE EFFECTS

• Static: For RGBW/RGB and Dual colour lights, the required colour can be selected via the colour wheel or colour gradient selector. For dimmable single colour lights, brightness can be adjusted.

• Cycle: Select up to four colours. Lights will transition between each colour. Brightness and cycle fade speed can be adjusted.

• Strobe: Up to four colours can be selected, including off. Lights will switch between these colours. Brightness and cycle fade speed can be adjusted.

• Audio Sync: Sync lights to music. Audio input via line-in or Bluetooth.

• Select four colours. Colour One = Ambient colour
  (displayed in quiet periods). Colour Two = Bass tones. Colour Three = Mid Tones. Colour Four = Treble Tones. Overall brightness and sensitivity can be adjusted.

• Movement: Lights change with the movement of the vessel/unit.

• Select five colours. Colour One = Ambient colour
  (colour displayed when static). Colour Two = the -Ve X-axis of the unit. Colour Three = the +Ve X-axis of the unit. Colour Four = the -Ve Y-axis. Colour Five = the +Ve Y-axis.

SWEEP EFFECTS

• Rainbow: The lights smoothly transition through a sequence of up to four user-specified colours, following the predetermined order of these colours as they move across the light row. Users can choose the speed of the transition to create a slow, gentle sweep or a fast, dynamic effect.
• Knight: The lights move back and forth, resembling a “scanner” like motion. Single colour setup. User can control the speed of the light movement.
• Pulse: The lights move from one side to the other, resembling the motion of a pulse. It’s a single-colour setup. The user can control the speed of the light movement.
