INSTALLATION & **OPERATIONMANUAL**

Wi-Fi DMX TOUCH PANEL
CONTROLLER KITS Preface

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL

WARNINGS
Before installing your DMX Controller, 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 DMX Controller, check local laws for restrictions regarding the use of colored lights in your area.
Salt is an inherently corrosive material. Natural and man-made surfaces are susceptible to corrosion and deterioration when used in and around salt water. Some combinations of plastic and polymer products are impervious to saltwater 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 controller remains 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 can cause irreversible damage.
Units are not waterproof. You must mount in a dry location. When installing, be sure that the controller fits the area and secures to the mounting location using the appropriate hardware before installing.

DANGER
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION

This unit 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 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, or others due to electrical shock.

PRETEST
Always test the system prior to installation. Failure to do this may result in additional installation time and could invalidate the warranty.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Attention Installer: This manual contains important information about the installation, operation, and safe use of this product. This information should be given to the owner and/ or operator of this equipment.
WARRANTY COVERAGE

Overview

Units are not waterproof. You must mount in a dry location. When installing, be sure that the controller fits the area and secures to the mounting location using the appropriate hardware before installing.

1.1 TOOLS AND MATERIALS

Never use power tools. Hand tightens only!

• Drill & Drill Bits.
•  Screwdriver, Phillips #2
• Wire Strippers.
• Tape measure and Ruler or Straight Edge.
•  Marking Utensil (Pencil, Sharpie Magic Marker, etc)

1.2 FINDING THE MOUNTING LOCATION

• The mounting location needs to be carefully selected to ensure the unit will not be exposed to moisture.
•  The controller can be installed in any standard electrical backbox. If you use a double-size box, you can insert the power supply inside.
• Ensure that the ambient temperature where the unit is mounted cannot exceed 45°C – Note that engine compartments can easily exceed this.
• The chosen location requires access to mains power, space for the routing of the DMX cable to the driver boxes, and also an Ethernet connection to a Wi-Fi router / LAN Wi-Fi for the Wi-Fi controller if the Wi-Fi function is required.

We recommend against installing against a metal wall or surface as this can cause issues with the touch buttons.
For DC power installations please contact OceanLED for advice.

Installation

2.1 CONNECT THE WIRES (EXPLORE E6 & E7)

1. Connect the control cable to the green connector (as below)

• DMX Ground = Black
•  DMX – = Brown
• DMX + = Yellow
• Red wire (Unused, do not connect)

2. Connect power via the AC/DC adapter provided.

• Power DC + = Black/White Stripe
• Power DC – = Black

2.2 CONNECT THE WIRES (PRO SERIES)

3. Connect the control cable to the green connector (as below)

• DMX Ground = Brown & Brown/White (two wires)
• DMX – = Orange
• DMX + = Orange/White

4. Connect power via the AC/DC adapter provided.

• Power DC + = Black/White Stripe
• Power DC – = Black

2.3 MOUNT IN A DRY LOCATION

1. Mount the back plate of the interface on the on preferred dry mounting location with 2 or more screws.
2. Plug the green connector block into the rear of the DMX Wi-Fi Touch Panel Controller.
3. For Wi-Fi plug the local ethernet cable into the rear of the DMX Wi-Fi touch panel controller (Ensure the correct RJ45 port is used):

4. The front panel is mounted by pressing it against the back plate and then sliding down. Two screws should then be attached underneath to hold the controller in place. Close the unit by clipping the front panel onto the back plate.

2.4 FINALISE YOUR INSTALLATION (EXPLORE E6 & E7)

Always test the system BEFORE the boat goes back into the water. Typical OceanLED light installs require the boat to be hauled out of the water to replace light units.

The DMX standard recommends a maximum of 32 devices to be connected in one chain. If the installation requires more lights than this, please contact OceanLED for advice.

1. If Wi-Fi is required connect the Ethernet cable from back of the controller panel to a suitable Wi-Fi router or Wi-Fi-enabled network. (The controller is DHCP enabled as standard so should be detected by the network once powered)
2. Connect the control cable to the control input of the first Explore E6 light. Then connect a control link cable to the next, and so on up to the last light in the chain.
3. Fit the supplied terminator to the output of the last E6 light. See the following example of the connections:

2.5 FINALISE YOUR INSTALLATION (PRO SERIES)

Always test the system BEFORE the boat goes back into the water. Typical OceanLED light installs require the boat to be hauled out of the water to replace light units.

The DMX standard recommends a maximum of 32 devices to be connected in one chain. If the installation requires more lights than this, please contact OceanLED for advice.

4. If Wi-Fi is required to connect the Ethernet cable from the back of the controller panel to a suitable Wi-Fi router or Wi-Fi-enabled network. (The controller is DHCP enabled as standard so should be detected by the network once powered).

5. Connect the DMX controller DMX output cable to the DMX input of the first driver box. The DMX output of this box should be connected to the input of the next, and so on up to the last driver in the chain.

6. Fit the supplied terminator to the output of the last driver box. See the following example of the connections:

Operation

3.1 POWER / SCENE SELECTION

1. Power on the unit by touching the top center button.
2. Select the required scene by using the buttons under the ‘Select Area’ buttons below the display to select the required area and select the scene by touching the left / right arrows on either side of the display. Once the required scene is selected, play that scene, and press the ‘Play Scene’ button.

3.2 PRE-PROGRAMMED SCENES – EXPLORE

Explore Dual White / Blue

Explore / Pro Series Colours

3.3 LOCAL NETWORK CONTROL OVER WI-FI

The controller can be connected to a local network, allowing it to be controlled from a smartphone or tablet over Wi-Fi with the use of an app called Arcolis Remote available at Google Play and the App Store. Argolis Remote creates an exact replica of the lighting controller on a smartphone or tablet, along with a grid of scene buttons.

1.  Connect the controller to a router or switch with an RJ45 cable:
   .The controller is set by default to get an IP address from the router via DHCP. If the network is not working with DHCP, a manual IP address and the subnet mask can be set using the Hardware Manager – please contact OceanLED for more details. If the network has a firewall enabled, allow ports 2430 and 2431

2. Get the IP address of the connected DMX Touch Panel from the router. You can check this by connecting to the router by PC, Mac or via smartphone.

3. Download the free Arcolis Remote app from Google Play or App Store depending on the device used.
   

4. Connect your device (smartphone or tablet) to the local Wi-Fi Network

5.  Open the Arcolis Remote app and select the ”Add” to enter the DMX Touch Panel IP address.
   

6. Type the IP address and select enter. The app should automatically connect to the device showing the replica of the controller interface on the screen. Use the app to control the lights.
