1. Install Poco Module: Install your Poco module using the wiring diagram below.
2. Connect to Poco:
A. Poco can be connected to a chart plotter (MFD) and/or a mobile device.
B. For an MFD connect the network cable to a compatible display. For a list of compatible displays visit:
http://lumiteclighting.com/poco-quick-start
C. For mobile devices connect using the Lumitec Poco App available on Apple or Google Play stores. You will be prompted to
connect to Poco on launching the app.
3. Create Light Groups:
Select conguration in the setting menu (top right of screen). Assign Channel and Clan for each light location on your boat
(underwater lights, spreaders lights etc.).
Examples:
Name: LG_aft_hardtop
Channel: 1
Clan: 1 - Down Lights
Output: Lumitec Spectrum
Name: LG_aft_spreader
Channel: 1
Clan: 2 – Flood Lights
Output: Blue / White
Name: LG_fwd_hardtop
Channel: 2
Clan: 1 - Down Lights
Output: Lumitec Spectrum

4. Create Switches (conguration menu). Assign a default intensity and color to each switch.
Example Simple Switch:
Name: Aft Hardtop
Target: LG_aft_hardtop Intensity: 50% Color: Red
You can create lighting scenes by assigning multiple light groups to more than one target.
Example Scene Switch:
Name: Night Fishing
1. Target: LG_aft_hardtop, Intensity: 20%, Color: Red
2. Target: LG_fwd_hardtop, Intensity: 20%, Color: Red
3. Target: LG_underwater Intensity: 100%, Color: Green
5. Add Switches to Layout Page:
A. Select a location screen for your switch.
B. Select the plus (+) button symbol.
C. Select desired switch from list.
Note: Visual order of switches will be arranged by the order of the switch placement on layout. Switches cannot be rearranged after
they have been added to a screen, only deleted. Go to http://lumiteclighting.com/poco-quick-start for more detailed information..

INSTALLATION
NOTICE
POCO should be mounted in a location that is not exposed to extreme temperature conditions. This device is rated for operation at
ambient temperatures between 0 F (-18 C) and 120 F (50 C) and is sealed against water ingress per IP65 standards. To prevent standing
water, it is recommended to mount the POCO device on a vertical surface protected from continuous water exposure.
• Using the included hardware, you can surface mount the device close to a breaker panel or fuse block.
• Pre-drill mounting holes with appropriately sized bit depending on the material. Typically a #32 (.116 inch) or 3mm bit can be
used for pre-drilling for the #6 self tapping screws.
• Ensure screw holes do not interfere with anything on the opposite side of the mounting surface.
• The location must allow room for routing, the connection of all cables, visibility of LED indicators and access to depress the
reset button.
SUPPLY
Poco must be powered with a 10-30 VDC supply independently fused with a 3 Amp ATC blade fuse or equivalent (Not Provided).
ACC - Poco Accessorty Bus Blue Wire
Connect to blue accessory bus wire to multiple expansion moudles from Lumitec. Works with up to 4 Pico S8 Modules for expansion.
INPUTS
Notice: POCO is designed to switch DC voltages between 10 and 30 volts. Switching any AC line voltages or DC voltages higher than 30V is
not permitted and failure to adhere to the input voltage requirement can cause serious injury and death.
Each channel is independently powered and switched inside the POCO device allowing for many different wiring methods depending
on system requirements. Each input line must be fuse protected prior to the POCO digital switch with a 10 Amp ATC or equivalent
protection device. Input voltage must be between 10 VDC and 30 VDC. Switching of AC or high voltage lines is not permitted without
properly rated relay and integral yback diode. Contact Lumitec for further information. POCO comes with 16 inches (400 mm) 14 AWG
wire for each channel input. Use appropriately sized and sealed crimp terminals to connect with channel supply.

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 trafc 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 specic 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
conguration 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).
