DEVICES
Connect Shadow-NET
®
enabled devices to the orange
and yellow Shadow-NET
®
wires coming from the Multi-
Zone Lighting Controller.
As soon as the Multi-Zone Lighting Controller receives
power, multiple channels of digital messages start
broadcasting on these wires. These messages allow
Shadow-NET
®
enabled devices to be connected without
a switch. Initially these commands are for attached
lights to turn off. As soon as a command is given to the
Multi-Zone Lighting Controller to go to a color, these
attached devices will receive a message to go to the
corresponding color and brightness.
Please note that different products are pre-programmed
to respond to a certain channel. For example,
Underwater Lights respond to Zone 1, Down Lights
respond to Zone 2 and Spreader Lights respond to Zone
3.

BEST PRACTICES FOR MITIGATING
NOISE ISSUES
Noise interface is common in systems with RGB
lighting controls and amplified stereo systems. The
advanced circuitry in the lighting controller does
everything possible to protect from this.
Utilizing installation best practices will further mitigate
these issues.
1.
Make sure to supply ample gauge power and sepa-
rate distribution points from stereo power.
2.
Run RGB power wires as far as possible from the
speaker feeds for the stereo. Run separate bundles
where possible.
