Lumitec Pico S8 Expansion Module, For POCO 3+, 8 SPST Inputs, 10-30VDC, IP67

Overview

The Lumitec 101684 is a Pico S8 expansion module that brings up to eight physical switches into a POCO digital lighting control system. It runs on 10 to 30 VDC for 12V and 24V boats, and the IP67-rated housing helps it tolerate damp locations behind a helm or switch panel.

This module monitors up to eight SPST switch inputs, including toggle, rocker, and momentary types, then uses those switch events to trigger POCO actions. It is a practical way to keep hard switches at the helm, in the cabin, or at an upper station while still using digital scenes and commands through the POCO system, even when an MFD is on another screen or turned off.

Key features

• Supports up to 8 SPST switch inputs and lets each input be set up for toggle or momentary behavior
• Works with POCO 3 or newer so physical switches can trigger POCO actions and virtual switch commands
• 10 to 30 VDC input range for both 12V and 24V DC electrical systems
• IP67-rated enclosure for marine environments where spray and washdowns are part of normal life
• Compact footprint for console and panel installs: 2.6 in tall, 1.9 in wide, 0.52 in deep
• Up to four Pico S8 modules can be configured to a single POCO for expanded switch coverage across the boat
• Rated for -31°F to 131°F operating temperatures in typical on-board spaces

Compatibility and fit

This is a control and input module for the Lumitec POCO lighting control ecosystem. It is not a stand-alone lighting controller and it is not meant to power lighting loads directly. The eight channels are switch inputs with a 0.25A maximum per channel, which is appropriate for sensing switch states and related low-current signaling.

Installation and setup

Plan the mounting location around two things: easy wire runs to your switch bank and a reasonable path back to the POCO module. The white housing fits cleanly inside a helm console, flybridge station, or cabin switch panel area, and the onboard indicator LED is helpful during commissioning.

After wiring and powering the module, setup is handled in the POCO configuration menu under the Automation area. Once discovered, each switch input can be defined and then mapped to the POCO actions you want, such as calling scenes or controlling specific lighting groups.

Use cases on board

This module is a good match for boats that want the convenience of digital lighting control without giving up familiar physical switches. It is commonly used to add hard controls for cockpit lighting, spreader lights, courtesy zones, or utility lighting so the crew can still reach for a switch when underway, docking, or moving around at night.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
