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 configured 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.
