You'll have plenty of control over your RGB, RGBW, 2-color, or single- color lighting system. You can adjust the fade mode, control color and brightness, set up three distinct music sync patterns, and set transition speed and color sequence for all the various fade and strobe modes. If you like what you've created, you can save the settings and apply them whenever you want. And you can do all this in multiple zones.

Product Research
Features
Overview: The Shadow-Caster SCM-ZC-KIT is a multi-zone marine LED lighting controller and remote control designed to activate and control your Shadow-Caster LED lighting (sold separately), including RGB and RGBW (white) lighting. The SCM-ZC-KIT includes an SCM-MZ-LC Multi-Zone Lighting Controller and an SCM-ZC-REMOTE wired Zone Controller Remote.
Waterproof: The Shadow-Caster SCM-ZC-KIT carries an IP65 waterproof rating for marine use.
4-Zone Lighting Control: The included SCM-MZ-LC controller can provide up to 4 separate lighting zone outputs. Each output includes a 5-terminal connector for RGBW LED wire connection, and its own 10A ATO fuse for individual circuit protection. Terminals are color-coded to match Shadow-Caster products and feature snap-locks for easy wire connections. All connections to the SCM-MZ-LC Controller are made by removing the translucent top-cover.
Shadow-NET Interface: The SCM-ZC-KIT features integrated Shadow-NET compatibility that can transmit multiple channels of digital commands to other Shadow-NET lighting products via the attached 9" yellow and orange Shadow-NET wires.
DIP Switch Settings: A 4-switch DIP panel underneath the top cover lets select whether each Zone is set for RGB or RGBW operation (default is RGB).
Power: The SCM-ZC-KIT can operate on 10-30VDC. Power/ground connections are made using 2 internally mounted set-screw terminals. The SCM-ZC-KIT can support up to 15 amps of current draw per Zone (60A total for the system), but includes a pre-installed 10A fuse for each Zone.
Music Sync: The SCM-ZC-KIT includes a female 3.5mm connector for inputting audio signals, allowing your connected LED lighting to be varied with the input signal.
Multi-Zone Remote: The dash- or console-mountable Controller Remote (SCM-ZC-REMOTE) is made with a UV-stabilized polycarbonate cover with a stainless steel bezel. The Remote can be installed in a standard 3" gauge opening and requires approximately 3.88" of mounting depth. Its 16 backlit silicone buttons can perform the following commands:
- All & Off: One press of the All button activates the Controller. Pressing it again returns all connected lights to the previous setting. The Off button turns off the lights in all zones, or, if preceded by a zone number, turns off the designated zone.
- 1-4: Four numeral buttons are provided for selecting each of the four lighting zones. The backlighting of the button will match the selected color and mode of that zone.
- White, Red, Green, Blue: These buttons let you select a basic color and use the left/right arrow buttons to cycle to the next color.
- Navigation Arrows: Arrow buttons can cycle through each available Color (left/right), and increase/decrease Brightness (up/down). Available colors include: Cool White, Natural White, Warm White, Pink, Purple, Red, Orange, Red Orange, Gold, Yellow, Green, Lime, Olive, Aqua, Blue, Sky Blue, Indigo, Orchid, Purple, and Magenta.
- Sync: Selects one of the 3 Sync Modes when the Controller's 3.5mm
audio input is connected to your music source's audio output. Sync options
include:
- Full Color Frequency: Intensity of the LED color will vary with the different frequency ranges of the music.
- Single Color Amplitude: LED Brightness will vary with the intensity of the music, for whichever color is selected.
- Multi-Color Amplitude: Varies LED Brightness with the intensity of the music while continually rotating through available colors.
- Mode: Each press of the Mode button cycles through the lighting
effects.
- Single Color Fade: The selected color will fade off and on.
- Multi-Color Fade: Fades up/down and cycles between colors depending on selected color sequence - Blue/White, Red/Green/Blue/White, and All Colors.
- Multi-Color Change: Same color sequence as Multi-Color Fade, but maintains the brightness on a color before fading to the next color.
- Strobe/Flash: Flashes a specified color at a specified rate.
Connection Cable: The Multi-Zone Remote connects to the Controller using the supplied 43" proprietary cable with 4-pin locking-connectors.
