INSTALLATION
OUTPUTS
Each channel is capable of switching a 10 Amp load powered within 10 and 30 VDC. POCO comes with 16 inches (400 mm) 14 AWG
wire for each channel input. Use appropriately sized and sealed crimp terminals to connect with each channel load. See System Design
Considerations for further information on lighting system architecture.
WIRED NETWORK
10/100 Base-T network connection from POCO device with a standard Ethernet cable (not included) to a compatible display or MFD. If
all network ports are used for other system components, a network switch must be used to split the network trafc between two or more
networked devices.
In most cases, channels should be designated either a Lumitec PLI channel, standard PWM dimming channel or standard ON/OFF
channel. Lumitec PLI controlled lighting reaches its fullest potential when this rule is followed. Lumitec PLI lighting has the ability to
create “virtual circuits” where lighting on each PLI channel can be addressed with commands specic to each clan of lights. For
example, SeaBlazeX2 or Typhoon lights can be attached to the same channel as Lumitec Mirage lighting and Caprera2 lighting as well as
other clans of lights. Because each are digitally controlled over the two power wires you are able to communicate with light clans
independently as if they were setup on multiple circuits.
QUICK TIPS:
• Lighting that is not PLI enabled on a channel that also has PLI enabled lights will stay in the ON state without
dimming control, even when other lighting is sent PLI commands. This works well for situations where you want to
connect a non-PLI Aurora Dome Light to the same circuit as PLI enabled lights. This setup will only work if the
attached non-PLI lights have low internal capacitance or a series diode. Lumitec lights that will work in this
conguration include Courtesy and Accent lighting as well as the Touch Dome Light and Aurora Dome Light.
• If PWM dimming control is being used on a channel, PLI enabled lights on that channel will respond as standard
lights without digital color control.
• PWM dimming control is not compatible with some loads such as relays or inductive loads. For these situations,
ensure all commands sent to these commands are ON/OFF only commands (see UI setup for further information).
