Page 5: Introduction
Introduction... - Page 6 The power source is common for both buttons. Each button independently controls one channel. Width modulation with 400Hz and 12V pulse is implemented for LED dimming. Simarine's SICOM allows the switch to be used in multiple ways, controlling one or more lights from different locations.

5. Installation Operation The multifunctional switch can be connected in daisy chain to operate in multiway switching. It can operate in three different modes: · PWM mode (Pulse Width Modulation) dimming LED lights. · ON/OFF mode switching 12V ON or 0V OFF on outputs. Both buttons can simultaneously control both outputs (only in PWM and On/Off mode). -

6. Multiway switching SiCOM communication standard is implemented to enable the multiway switching. On each switch there are two RJ9 four pin female connectors. Connect one switch with another, to communicate using SiCOM cable with RJ9 male connectors on both ends. The implemented communications standard is RS485 physical layer standard. -

The high part is the same for the complete switch. Lower part of the button address is determined with SW6. If two or more switches have to work in the multiway switching, then all of them must have the same high part address –... - Page 20 The complete address for each button is a combination of SW3 address and SW6 address from the table above. When the SW6 rotary switch is in the “F” position, button 1 and button2 have the same address. In this case the communication is not possible or makes no sense while the received message can’t be assigned to the proper button.

Simultaneously Control Both Outputs... - Page 22 7. Simultaneously Control Both Outputs Note: Factory default is this option is disabled. The multifunctional switch can be set to simultaneously control two outputs with both buttons. This is possible only in the PWM and ON/OFF mode. When one button is pressed, both outputs are ON or OFF or when one button is continuously pressed, the dimming starts on both outputs.

Page 24: Setup Procedure
8. Setup modes of operation Factory default mode is the PWM mode. To select ON/OFF or Push Button mode, the switch has to be setup. The best time to change the mode is right before the installation When one or both buttons are in setup mode the RGB colour LED around the button will flash. -

Saving light status... - Page 28 9. Saving light status Factory default in this option is disabled. The multifunctional switch can be enabled to save states of outputs (ON/OFF, dimming index) in non-volatile memory. This option can be enabled with SW5. The status of the switch is saved 6 seconds after any changes on outputs.
