Operation:
The Color-Caster'" SCM-CC'" is an underwater light that can be easily
changed between four colors: Blue, White, Green and Red.
There are (3) three ways of communicating with the light and telling it to change colors:
1. Power Toggle Control: Done by quickly turning the input power off and then back on
within 2 seconds.
2. Push Button Control: This is an optional control that can be accomplished by installing
a push button connected between the Ground and Green Wire (See Figure 1).
3. Communicating directly to the light with the Shadow-NET'" interface. This is done by
installing a Shadow-NET™ enabled Controller.
Power switch toggle: The Color-Caster'" has unique circuitry to detect when the power has
been toggled. The lights must be turned off and then back on within 2 seconds for this
condition to be recognized. Toggling the power input will change the Color-Caster'" light to
the next color state. Toggling the Power Switch will cycle through the available colors in the
sequence of Blue, White, Green and Red. When the power is turned off for more than 10-
seconds, the lights will reset and return to the Blue Color State.
Push Button: The push button interface requires the installation of a push button switch.
This will access the additional features listed below. Shadow-Caster• provides a
marine grade ON/OFF switch with integrated power toggle and push button
switch. The appropriate wiring for this is shown in (See Figure 1).
