Chapter 3: Operation
NOTE: X Series lights have active thermal protection. This means that while underwater, they run at full
power due to water cooling. Moderate dimming may be noticeable with above water installations when
high ambient temperatures are reached to avoid damage.
3.1 - Single Colour Strobe
To enter strobe mode, toggle the power on and o quickly twice. They should now strobe in a pseudo-ran-
dom pattern. To reset from strobe mode, turn o then back on again.
3.2 - DMX Colour Change Operation with
For Colours control using the OceanDMX X Series Controller Kit, please refer to the OceanDMX Installation
Manual.
3.3 Colours control with DC switch operation:
The colour change has three modes of operation, single colour mode, cycle / programing mode, and strobe
mode:
1. Single colour mode – this mode is entered when the light is first turned on. The light will be a single
colour, either a default blue, or a previously selected colour.
2. Strobe mode – to enter this mode, turn o the light for less than 1 second, then back on again. The
light will flash in a pseudo-random pattern - the colour will be the same as that in single colour
mode.
3. Cycle / Program mode, to enter this toggle the power to the unit o twice for less than 1 second
each time. The light will then slowly cycle and fade through the colour spectrum (see diagram
below for cycle order). It can be left in cycling if required, or alternatively, once the light shows the
desired colour this can be stored by switching the light o for more than 2 seconds. When the light
is switched back on it will be back in single colour mode, displaying the previously selected colour.
Single colour mode – this mode is entered when the light is first turned on. The light will be a single
colour, either a default blue, or a previously selected colour.
NOTE: If during the above operations, one or more lights connected go out of sync, simply switch o the
lights for more than 2 seconds, then re-enter cycle mode to re-select the colour.
3.3 - Diagnostic LEDs
The X Series is fitted with an advanced diagnostic indicator system. There are two small indicator LEDs
(one red, one orange) within the unit, visible through the front lens.
When the unit is first turned on, both LED’s will flash briefly. This is normal operation and is part of the
start-up procedure, to show that the LEDs are functioning. During normal operation the indicator LEDs
should not be illuminated. The table within the troubleshooting section summarizes the detected fault
modes:
