EOS MINI / EOS MINI WIFI

The Lumishore Color Change system takes the concept of marine underwater lighting installations to new

levels of brightness, color and underwater experience. The innovative EOS Mini / EOS Mini WiFi allows the

boat owner to achieve unrivalled levels of color options and lighting modes over the full color spectrum.

The Color Controller allows you to choose and easily adjust your light color, and by scrolling through the

various inbuilt lighting modes, you can select from a number of predefined colors, color cycle sequences. The

Controller also incorporates fish attraction modes with variable strobe rates to enhance your fishing trip or sea

life observation requirements.

Color cycles and color sweeps bring dynamic moving light scenes to the boat. The EOS Mini WiFi controller has

built in WiFi. This allows you to control your lights from your iPhone or iPad using the Lumishore App, which

mimics the controller on you mobile device.

For the ultimate party boat, The EOS Mini Controller has built in sound to light capabilities. The lights can be

setup to synchronise their color change with the beat and frequency of your favourite music.

Note: Refer to the relevant light installation instructions for how to install the lights onto your boat, and how

to connect the system together.

1.0 EOS MINI / EOS MINI WIFI COLOUR CHANGE CONTROLLER INSTALLATION

EOS CONTROLLER COMPONENTS:

1.1 EOS MINI / EOS MINI WIFI MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

The Color Controller has been designed to be mounted inside or outside within the cockpit or dash board of the vessel.

Installation Considerations:

 Select a suitable flat surface that is accessible from behind.

 Ensure there are no obstructions and there is adequate clearance behind the surface to allow for the Colour Controller cable

entry and positioning. (Ensure the chosen position also has easy cable routing to the first Lumi-Hub in the series)

Installation Procedure:

1. Cut the hole to the correct size (60mm diameter), and ensure there is enough clearance behind the mounting panel for the

controller to fit into (123mm clearance required).

NB: Extreme care should be taken to cut the hole to the correct size. Always cut a smaller hole than necessary and file

outwards until it is the correct size.

2. Feed the Colour Controller through the hole and then using the clamp provided lock in place. Place the nuts onto the threaded

bar, and tighten. Do not exceed 1Nm torque force on each nut.

3. For thicker panels the mounting bracket can be shortened using the guide holes as cut points.

For external installations or where water may access the unit it is recommended that an

appropriate marine sealant be used between the back of the Controller and the surface.

1.2 EOS MINI / EOS MINI WIFI ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

The controller uses a proprietary form of DMX to communicate between the lights and controller. Whilst Lumishore lights can be

controlled by any DMX controller, the EOS controller can only be used to control Lumishore product. The Color Controller is plugged into

the first Lumi-Hub in the series. The installation is terminated using a DMX Terminator plugged into the last Lumi-Hub in the series - refer

to the SMX 92 – SMX 152 installation manuals for further information.

 The EOS controller is for 12/24volt DC operation. Under no circumstances should the Controller be connected directly to

Mains AC voltage.

 Always use a suitable fuse or circuit breaker to protect the complete system.

Connecting the 3 pin data cables

 Using the supplied DMX cable connect one end to the 3 pin pig tail connector on the back of the controller. Connect the other

end to the “data in” port of the Lumi-Hub.

 If using more Use a DMX extension cable to link the next Lumi-Hub. Do not cut or extend the DMX link cable. Pre-molded

Extension cables are available in 1 meter, 5 meter and 15 meter lengths as required. Multiple extensions cables can be

combined together if a further distance is required.

 Plug the supplied DMX terminator into the last Lumi-Hub.

Always ensure the DMX Terminator is used and securely in place, without the terminator

environmental noise and interference can cause faults in the communication. For full

electrical installation guide please refer to the SMX 92 / SMX 152 installation manual.

COMBI CABLE: - POWER CONNECTION / SOUND TO LIGHT / 3rd PARTY DMX CONTROLLER

The EOS Controller is provided with a universal 3 way Combi-Cable. The Combi-Cable

provides connection for power, sound to light and a 3rd party DMX controller.

POWER CONNECTION

Power to the controller is fed via the Red and Black wires. Care should be taken to ensure the correct voltage and correct polarity.

 Red +V (10 to 30volt DC)

 Black –V (Ground)

 Max Current Draw @12Volts = 300mA

SOUND TO LIGHT CONNECTION

A 3.5mm Jack Socket is supplied as part of the combi cable. Use a “Jack to Jack cable” or “Jack to Phono cable” as required to plug the

“Line out” from a stereo or Ipad/Iphone.

For best results use a stereo output that has constant output irrespective of volume. i.e When using an iPad or iPhone use the line out

rather than the headphone socket. That way the sensitivity of the controller will not need continuous adjustment when changing volume.

3rd PARTY DMX CONTROLLER (OPTIONAL)

A 3rd Party DMX controller can be used to control the lights in place of the EOS controller. The DMX connection wires are provided as part

of the Combi-cable. (See above table for the colour key.)

Do not connect the external DMX wires to anything other than an external DMX module. If an external DMX module is not used then the

DMX wires should be cut back and insulated to prevent a short circuit on the wires.

or circuit breaker. See installation guide for the correct way to install the system.

SUNCOVER:

A Suncover is provided to protect the controller from harmful UV rays from the Sun and general weathering and also

protects the device from accidental operation. Always ensure the Suncover is in place when the controller is not in use.

3.0 Initial Light Set Up

The Initial Light Setup tells the controller what position the lights are installed on the vessel so that they can be sent

information in the correct order and color change in the correct sequence.

Setting up the lights with their correct position ensures modes such as “Color Sweep” function correctly.

Set up is very straightforward and will only take a short amount of time. Once setup is complete the system will memorise

the light positions so this process only needs to be carried out once.

To set up the lights use the following steps and the example positions shown below. The diagram shows typical positions of

installed lights for three scenarios.

NOTE: In each installation, Position number 1 should be the furthest light forward on the

Starboard side. At each stage note the number of each light in accordance with these schematics.

sensitivity will affect the response of the lights, set it to a level that obtains the desired

effect.

Note, if the input music is supplied by a stereo that does not a have a fixed line level

output then the sound to light sensitivity will be dependent on music volume. If little or

no lighting effect is observed ensure the volume of the stereo is turned up to a high

enough level.
