Preface
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL
CAUTION
(Risk Group 2): Possibly hazardous optical radiation emitted from this product. Do not stare at operating
lamp. Maybe harmful to the eye.
WARNINGS
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 coloured lights
in your area.
Do not operate lights out of water for a period longer than 5 minutes followed by an OFF period of at least 1
hour. Exceeding this may cause damage to the light unit.
Ensure the bonding point of the light is fitted to the cathodic protection system on the vessel. Check
conductivity between earth bonding point and aluminium bronze front bezel. If mounting the light to metal,
carbon fibre or wooden hull, ensure that suitable measures have been put in place to account for the effects
of galvanic corrosion or wood deterioration, i.e. use of Delrin sleeve components (Isolation Kit).
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 saltwater. Some OceanLED
lights contain combinations of plastic and polymer products which 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 lights remain in service for years to come.
Never connect/disconnect lights with power applied as irreversible damage may occur. Ensure polarity of
power connections is correct. Failure to do this may invalidate warranty.
Ensure front of lights are always fully submerged and not fitted on planning / running surfaces that may
impact on water since this may damage the product. Also ensure the rear of the light is in a dry area and not
subject to a wet environment. Failure to do this may invalidate warranty.
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 clean lights using a high-pressure jet wash.
Remove the protectors from the connectors on the rear of the light ONLY if the connector will be used
immediately. If the connectors on the light(s) are not in use, leave protector(s) on.
DANGER
RISK OF ELECTRIC 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 which 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.

3 Preparing the Hull
When installing an Explore unit, please ensure there is enough space on the inside of the vessel to remove
the insert for maintenance/after sales services. For example, the XFM unit requires an additional 100mm / 4”
from the rear of the mounting tube to allow the insert to be removed. (See overall dimensions below).
Ensure that the part of the light inside the vessel has a diameter of 100mm / 4” around it free from any
insulation material.
OceanLED recommends using a qualified installer / technician when making modifications to your vessel.
Please also consult the manufacturer for more detail on modifications and installation.
If lights are to be fitted to a conductive or wooden hull, an Isolation Kit must be used. Contact OceanLED for
additional details.
Depth/Spacing
Ideally mount your lights at similar depth levels to ensure matching colour consistency through the water. Deeper lights
will look duller and possibly differ in colour compared to shallower mounted units.

Installation (Once hull preparation is complete)
1. Testlight(s) before fitting.
2. If using a Delrin Isolation Kit, insert the Isolation Kit front washer into the drilled hole and apply marine sealant to
seal between the Front Washer and thehull.
3. Apply sealant to the rear of the mounting tube assembly’s bezel to ensure a complete unbroken seal around
the light.
Make sure sealant fills in the recess groove on the reverse of the light bezel:
4. For the E6 model, to guarantee correct light orientation ensure the OceanLED logo on the reflector is located
at the top before inserting it in the hull. If seen from the inside of the hull, the rear LED Indicator needs to be
located at the top of the light (see image below).
For E7 fitment, ensure the light angle is correct for the location before fitting the light. If available, follow the
OceanLED Light Placement Chart (LPC) where the required angle for each light position around the hull will
be detailed.
On the E7, the LED Indicator is also used as a reference point for beam direction as well as orientation. For
example, if viewed from the rear with the LED Indicator at the top, the beam will be pointing upwards. The
OceanLED logo on the reflector also indicates the direction of the beam –see below. For further details, see
the diagram in the Appendix (Section 7)
5. Insertthe complete light unit (mounting tube assembly+ lightcartridge)into the hull, pressing the light hard into
the hull and twist slightly to spread the sealant behind the light to ensure goodadhesion.

This process is made much easier if a second person is inside the hull to receive the light and install the
locking equipment whilst supporting the light from the outside. Breakages due to lights falling out of the hull
are NOT covered under warranty and can cause serious bodily injury as can any falling object.
6. If using a Delrin Isolation Kit, insert the IsolationKit flat washer over themounting tube and locate it flush with the
hull.
7. Insert the stainless-steel compression washer over the mountingtube.
The stainless-steel compression washer does not need to be flat to the hull, a slightly uneven surface can be
compensated by the washer.
8. Place the two C clips together to form a circle, ensuring you pair 1 threaded and 1 non-threaded hole together.
Fix theclipstogether usingone ofthe screwsprovidedso thatthe clipsare locatedapproximatelyhalfwaydown
the length of the screw.Locate the clips into the appropriate grooves (depending on hull thickness) on outside
of the mounting tube so that the end of the screw is close to the washer. Fit the screws provided into the
remainingholes, fixing the two clips together. Leave the longer screw out to connect the light to the vessel’s
cathodic protection system. Once connected, screw down this screw to the same position as the others (see
step 10)
9. Tighten the locking screws using a 5mm Allen key,applying thread lock at point of threadcontactwith locking
ring. Torqueto2Nm. DO NOT over-tighten locking screws, as you could damage the mounting tube, and this
will not be covered under warranty.
Once you are satisfied that the unit is fully tightened, you will notice that sealant has squeezed out from
around the perimeter of the light. Using a thinner or cleaner, apply to cloth and wipe off excess sealant to
leave a clean seal. AVOIDCONTACTWITH LENS. If youdo not see sealant squeeze out from the body,you
have not used enough sealant or tightened the unit enough to the hull. Carefully examine the installation to
make sure the sealant you have installed on the unit is fully watertight. If in doubt, remove light, re-apply
sealant and re-install.
10. Connect the bonding cable to the remaining screw and lock in place with the nut and shake proof washer
provided. Tighten the locking screw using a 5mm Allen key, applying thread lock at point of thread contact
with locking ring.

4.3 INSTALLATION OF EXPLORE AC POWER KIT
Additional items required not supplied by OceanLED:
•Screws to secure the Explore AC PowerPack
•Junction box / waterproofconnectors
•Sufficient cable to connect the Explore ACPowerPack
•Suitable fuse /breaker(s)
Always consult a qualified electrician when connecting OceanLED light fixtures.
Never use power tools to secure the Explore AC Power Pack: hand tighten only.
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.
Always mount the Explore AC Power Pack in a dry location, it should not sit in standing water at any time.
The 3-core input is for power (Brown=Live; Blue=Neutral; Green/Yellow=Earth) and the two pin Deutsch
Connector is for the light.
1. Depending on the model and number of lights installed, youwill need to pull the correct sized power cable from
the AC Power (breaker/fuse panel) to the Explore AC Power Pack locations. Ensure the correct sized tinned
marine grade cable is used to avoidvoltage drop issues.
2. Fix Explore AC Power Pack into required position. Ensure chosen Explore AC Power Pack location is near
enough to connect light cable without applying undue stress.
Never leave the bare cables unprotected. Take care to not leave the bare wire ends in bilge 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.
3. Connect the Explore AC Power Pack to the ACPower. Ensure the size fuse/breaker, cable and connector have
the correct specification and are watertight. Make sure any heatshrink used completely encapsulates the outer
wire sheath (the use of glue-lined heatshrink is highly recommended to ensure water tightness).
Corrosion of wire and/or water ingress into the light unit via cable is NOT covered under warranty.
4. Connect the Deutsch connector from the Power Pack to the light using the PowerLinkCable.
5. Securecables ensuringwherethe cable exitsthe lightit is not under undue stress.Finish and test the light units

4.4 INSTALLATION OF EXPLORE DC POWER KIT
Additional items required not supplied by OceanLED:
•Junction box / waterproofconnectors
•Sufficient cable to connect to DC Power
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 follow the recommendations.
Never leave the bare cables unprotected. Take care to not leave the bare wire ends in bilge 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.
For complete instructions on DC connections, please refer to ABYC codes of practice and other applicable
codes and ordinates for DC connections.
Where multiple lights are fitted, and especially on 12V systems, it is advised to use a relay system to supply
the switched power to the lights, to reduce load on the switch and voltage drops caused by long cable runs
to the switch location.
1. Depending on the model and number of lights installed, you will need to pullthe 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. Use the
tables in the Appendix (Section 7) as a guide to the required cable gauge.
2. It is imperative that either the OceanLED supplied fuse is fitted to the power circuit of each light or a suitable
protection device is used to protect the cable/light unit. It is important to also ensure the polarity is correct.
Failure to do so will void the warranty of the unit. It is recommended to use our 4-way fused junction box. See
the table in Section 2 for power consumption and recommended fuse values.
3. 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. (Red wire = +12/24V DC, Black wire = GND). Make sure any
heatshrink used completely encapsulates the outer wire sheath (the use of glue-lined heatshrink is highly
recommended to ensure water tightness).
Never install a new light fixture then leave the vessel in the water unchecked for several days.

4.6 FINALISING THE INSTALLATION
The Explore XFM mounting tube is constructed fromcorrosion resistant Aluminium Bronze and does not requirefurther
protection. The glass is pre-coated with a specialized Tritonium® coating which makes the surface of the glass lens a
non-stick layer.
OceanLED does not recommend that bottom paint or any type of anti-fouling agent is applied to the glass
and/or bezel, as damage may occur due to chemical incompatibility. If bottom painting of the bezel is deemed
essential, then an area of at least 5mm should be left uncoated around the glass lens:
The protective lens sticker should be removed once all work on the vessel is complete.
4.7 TEST YOURINSTALLATION
Always test the lights BEFORE the vessel goes back into the water. At this final stage make sure all of the system is
operational. If you have any issues, please contact your local OceanLED representative.
Never install a new light fixture then leave the vessel in the water unchecked for several days.
When the vessel is placed in the water, immediately check for leaks. Note that very small leaks may not be readily
observed. It is best not to leavethe vessel in the waterfor more than 3 hours before checking it again. If there is a small
leak, there may be considerable bilge water accumulation after 24 hours. If a leak is observed, youmust TAKEACTION
IMMEDIATELY to prevent damage.

5.2 MAINTENANCE
Marine growth can build up quickly on the light and can reduce the performance injust a few weeks.
Tohelp prevent this, all OceanLED lights have been coated with a specialized Tritonium® coating which makes the
surface of the glass lens a non-stick layer. Lights should be cleaned with a boat brush or similar biweekly,or as needed
tokeep the lens of the lightclean.
Growth varies greatly around the world and maintenance is imperative to the proper operation and longevity of the
product. Ifheavy foulingoccurs,barnaclescanberemovedfromthe lensusinga plasticscraperand moderatepressure
underwater.If cleaning the lens while the boat is out of the water, wet the lens before scraping. Never scrape or try to
removebarnacles from a dry lens. Never use high pressure jet wash to clean the lens / bezel.
