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 saltwater. 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, 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 a serviceman, 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.

FINDING THE MOUNTING LOCATION
- The mounting location needs to be carefully selected to ensure the unit will not be exposed to moisture.
- 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.
For DC power installations please contact OceanLED for advice

- 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):
- Mount the backplate of the interface on the preferred dry mounting location.
- Close the unit by clipping the front panel onto the backplate.
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.
- If Wi-Fi is required connect the Ethernet cable from the back of the controller panel into 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).
- 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.
- Fit the supplied terminator to the output of the last E6 light. See the following example of the connections:
