POWER LINE INSTRUCTION

PLI (POWER LINE INSTRUCTION):
Digital commands can be sent through the C4-MAX module using Lumitec’s proprietary PLI protocol to instantly set color and brightness. The Lumitec POCO and compatible interface device (e.g. MFD, smart phone, tablet, etc.) can be used to issue PLI commands to the module.

Visit: www.lumiteclighting.com/poco-quick- start for more information on the POCO system.

ANALOG TOGGLE SWITCH

C4 MAX may be controlled by any SPST (e.g. toggle or rocker) switch connected to the orange signal wire. Commands can be sent to the module with brief off/on toggles of the signal power. When first energized, module will illuminate the connected RGB/RGBW device to white and ramp up in brightness over a period of 3 seconds. To select a brightness, the ramp up can be interrupted and locked-in at any time with a single toggle. Toggle again to switch into SPECTRUM mode where the light will cycle through a mix of all available colors within 20 seconds. Toggle at any time to enter a 3-second ramp up in brightness for the current color. Just like on start up, the brightness ramp up can be interrupted at any time to select and lock-in the brightness level. Leaving the signal power off for more than 4 seconds will reset the module.
