SCM-MFD-LC-KIT OVERVIEW

The Shadow-Caster®MFD Lighting Control Kit (SCM-

MFD-LC-KIT) includes the Multi-Zone Lighting Controller

(SCM-MZ-LC) and the MFD Bridge (SCM-MFD-BRIDGE).

The SCM-MZ-LC Lighting Controller supplies fused

power connection for up to 4 separate zones of user

selectable RGB or RGBW lighting. It can receive an

analog music input, and also broadcasts multiple

channels of digital commands to other devices on the

Shadow-NET®Bus (orange and yellow wires).

The SCM-MFD-BRIDGE provides a control interface to

the Multi-Zone Lighting Controller through an Ethernet

connected MFD (Multi-Function Display) or other

connected device.

The control interface steps you through selecting and

naming a desired number of control zones. The setup

process will also identify all additional Shadow-NET®

connected devices and assign them to the desired

lighting zone. The zones can then be assigned to a

desired color and brightness or even congured for

an active lighting program. The program is saved as a

unique 'lighting scene' for easy recall.

At initial power up the Shadow-NET®bus will broadcast

messages to tell connected devices to turn off. This

allows these devices to be used without a dedicated

switch. When the SCM-MZ-LC controller receives a

command to turn on, it will send a corresponding

command to devices connected on the Shadow-NET®

bus.

Note: Lighting connected to outputs 1-4 of the SCM-MZ-LC will always

correspond to zones 1-4 in the lighting application. Shadow-Net®

connected lights can be assigned to any zone 1-6.

2. Upon opening the lighting app you should see the

welcome screen.

Press the NEXT button to initiate the system and

proceed through the onboarding process detailed in the

following steps.

USING THE INTERFACE

INITIAL ONBOARDING STEPS

1. Select the Shadow-Caster Lighting app icon from

your MFD home screen.

4. Select the number of lighting zones required for your

system.

Once selected press NEXT button to conrm.

Note: RGB zones 1-4 are statically assigned to their

corresponding zone but Shadow-NET®lights can be

assigned to any zone number.

5. Step through the individual lighting zones and give a

unique name. This can also be done later through the

Cong Menu.

Once selected press NEXT button to conrm.

8. Once all the devices are found by the system, They

can be identied by clicking "Identify". All connected

lights will turn off, and the light being identied will

ash white slowly.

Once identied, set the lights to their desired zones.

Once selected press NEXT button to conrm.

6. Please make sure that all of the lighting devices

on the network are powered and connected. The

system will go through and identify everything that is

connected.

Once selected press NEXT button to conrm.

7. Select the required Operation Mode:

Full Mode (Recommended)

Full Mode allows individual control of all devices

connected to the Shadow-NET bus. This is the

recommended setting.

Global Mode

Global Mode only allows control of everything on the

bus as one channel. This is only required for working

with certain older technology underwater lights (pre

2018).

Once selected press NEXT button to conrm.

SHADOW-CASTER®LIGHTING

HOME SCREEN

This is the default screen by clicking on the Shadow-

Caster®app icon after the onboarding process has

been completed.

Scenes can now be easily recalled by pressing a scene

button.

There are several preset scenes already congured.

An example of the Home Screen after the 'RYGCBM'

scene is recalled is shown below.

Note: 'RYGCBM' is short for Red/Yellow/Green/Cyan/

Blue/Magenta.

CONFIGURING ZONES

In the zone control box, there are two buttons.

Pressing the top button reveals a drop down selection

with three options: turn the zone off; select color

and brightness control; or select the currently active

program.

The lower button indicates the current color and

brightness or the current program. To change the color,

press the current color button and the color scroll bar

will pop up.

Slide the color bar to select any color, or select the

intensity slider to change the brightness.

Note: Multiple zones can be selected at the same time

to allow multiple lighting zones to be controlled and

and changed together.

CONFIGURING PROGRAMS

These are accessible by clicking on the PROGRAM

button .

MULTI-COLOR CHANGE PROGRAM

CONFIGURATION

Select Color Sequence pattern.

Select Intensity level.

Select the Speed of rotation.

STROBE PROGRAM CONFIGURATION

Select the desired color.

Then select Intensity (brightness) and Speed (rate of

strobe).

Program

DELETING A SCENE

Press and hold a scene button to delete it.

Note: Long press functions are not supported in all

Multi-Function Displays (MFDs).

UPDATING SCENES

Simply save over a scene name to update it.

SAVING A SCENE

Once all lighting zones are congured as desired, press

SAVE and a window will pop up with a text box.

USING SCENES

A 'Scene' is a way to have all of the zones in your

conguration set to a predetermined color, intensity or

lighting program.

New scenes can be saved and existing scenes can be

customized or removed to t your preferences.

SCENE OPTIONS CONFIGURATION

Assign a Powerup Scene for the lighting as soon at it

receives power.

Assign a Startup Scene for the lights to go to as soon

as the application opens up in the browser.

MUSIC SYNC CONFIGURATION

Select Type of Sync:

Single

Lights illuminate on a 'single' selectable color and pulse

with the amplitude of the music.

Multi

Lights cycle through all available colors of at a

xed rate, but similar to Single mode, pulse with the

amplitude of the music.

Falloff

Intensity of lights increases with the beat, and then falls

off at a xed rate.

Frequency

Drives colors based on the frequency content of the

music. Provides the best music sync functions.

OPTIMIZING MUSIC SYNC

1. Turn music to typical listening volume, and press

PAUSE on your stereo system. This will provide the

lighting controller with an input signal representative

of the audio system background noise.

2. Adjust the sensitivity down 1 step at a time until the

lights do not blink or icker - this sets the system

sensitivity to just above the audio systems noise

oor.

3. Resume music. The lights should now be changing

in sync with the music input.

CONNECTING THE SCM-MFD-BRIDGE

& INITIAL SYNCING

The SCM-MFD-BRIDGE is designed to automatically

detect the brand of MFD it is connected to and

establish a connection. Once the onboarding process is

complete, and this information is veried, this step will

not have to be repeated.

If the system does not establish a connection at initial

startup:

CYCLE THE POWER OF JUST THE MFD BRIDGE, BY

REMOVING THE 4 PIN CONNECTOR AND WAITING 10

SECONDS, AND THEN RECONNECT.

If the SCM-MFD-BRIDGE is moved from one brand

display to another, a factory reset must be initiated on

the screen prior to disconnecting.

Once the SCM-MFD-BRIDGE is properly connected, the

Shadow-Caster®app icon will appear on the home

screen or gauges accessories scene. Simply click on

this icon to open the application.

Note: In the case of Raymarine MFDs, this icon is

already there and not an indication of connectivity.

SCM-MZ-LC POWER REQUIREMENTS

See the Shadow-Caster®wire awg recommendations

for detailed calculations. It is very important to have

sucient gauge wire feeds for RGB lighting.

It is recommended to separate feeds for lighting and

for sensitive stereo power feeds with direct runs to the

battery or a heavy gauge distribution point.

The SCM-MZ-LC will support 15 amps per zone. For

a total of 60 amps in the entire box. The SCM-MZ-LC

comes with 10 amp fuses installed.

The SCM-MZ-LC will work in 12V or 24V systems.

Please note that 12V or 24 compatible RGB(W)

products should be used depending on the application.
