Please read the following pages to ensure a complete understanding
of the LUMISHORE LED lighting system before installation.
• Always ensure that the vessel’s power source and battery are
disconnected or isolated prior to installation
• A qualied professional should carry out both the electrical
and mechanical installation.
•The EOS lighting system should be fully installed before connect-
ing the EOS Blackbox Module
• The EOS Blackbox Module must be mounted in a dry location and
on a at (not curved) surface away from any sources of heat or vibra-
tion
• The EOS Blackbox Module works with Garmin OneHelm - check the
compatibility of your Garmin MFD prior to installing the EOS Black-
box Module. The MFD may require a software update - check with
Garmin prior to installing the Blackbox module.
Mechanical Installation
1. Select a suitable location to mount the EOS Blackbox Module.
This should be in a dry location, and within reach of the Data In
Connection of the rst light or hub. This cable can be extended
using DMX Extension cables. (1m - 24-0077, 5m - 24-0078 or 15m
- 24-0099)
2. The EOS Blackbox Module should be mounted onto a at
surface, away from any sources of heat, or vibration. Ensure you
have enough room to be able to t the connectors to the
module.
3. Mount the EOS Blackbox module using four mounting holes at
either end of the case - Use the dimensions from the drawing
below.

EOS Lumi-Link Blackbox
Module for Garmin OneHelm
System Overview
The EOS Blackbox Module sits between the Garmin MFD and the
lights. No additional controller is necessary as all the control is
done from the MFD. The EOS Blackbox Module needs to be
powered by an external DC power supply or battery (10.5 - 31V).
The Module connects to the lights using the “Data Out” connec-
tor. This plugs into the rst light, or to the “data in” connector on
the hub. Sound-to-Light can also be used by connecting to the
3.5mm Stereo jack.
The EOS Blackbox Module connects to the Garmin MFD using a
Garmin Marine Network Cable. ONLY USE Garmin Marine
Network Cables. DO NOT USE any other type of Ethernet cable.
The Garmin MFD must have OneHelm enabled - a software
update may be required.

3. Check the number of lights discovered matches the number of
lights expected. If it is not then check all lights have power, and
the data connections between the lights or hub(s). Refer to the
lights installation instructions for further information.
4. Set the position of the lights. The lights should be numbered
sequentially around the boat, with number 1 being the furthest
forward on the Starboard side. The light selected will ash in a
Red --> Green --> Blue Sequence. All other lights will be o. Use
the Next or Previous buttons to change the selected light. Use
the next or previous button until the furthest forward light on
the starboard side is ashing. Use the plus or minus buttons to
set the position to 001. Move on to the next light.

6. Once complete press Save to save the Light Set-Up. The light
set up only needs to be done once. To exit the set-up mode
simply press on any other icon and select an option.
7. You can now control your lights from your MFD using the intui-
tive user interface. You can also add the Lumishore page to
favorites, or set up combo screens - see the Garmin MFD instruc-
tions for further details.
If power to the EOS Blackbox Module is lost temporarily then the
system may not fully function until you exit to the Home screen
on the MFD, and then re-select the EOS Screen.
If there are multiple MFDs in use, and one of the MFDs is used to
access a set-up mode (e.g. Light Set-Up), then the other MFDs
will be locked out and will display a message. If this message is
seen then exit to the home screen. Once the set-up is completed
the system can be used as normal.
