Lift here

2 Installation 13

Rough-In and Terminate Cable

All terminations are accessible from the front of the enclosure with the covers removed. The left side of the enclosure provides conduit entry for high voltage wires and the right side provides conduit entry for low voltage wires.

High Voltage Wiring

High voltage wire terminations are located on the left side of the enclosure, separated from the low voltage terminations with a high voltage cover. An additional voltage separator is available for use to separate normal power and emergency power circuits or varying power inputs within the high voltage wiring in the enclosure (as needed).

The recommended cable for each termination is limited to the termination connectors provided in the Room Controller. See “Electrical Input Wiring Requirements” on page 9.

Note: Low voltage control cables must run in separate conduit from input power wires. To maintain the integrity of the voltage separation inside the enclosure, a cover over the high voltage terminations serve as a mechanical voltage barrier, separating the low voltage power wiring from the high power inside the enclosure.

WARNING: RISK OF DEATH BY ELECTRIC SHOCK! Before installing input power to the Room Controller, make sure the upstream source of power is off or isolated. Follow appropriate Lockout/Tagout procedures as described in NFPA Standard 70E.

CAUTION: Connecting to and configuring the Room Controller requires contact with the printed circuit board inside the enclosure, which does have electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive components on it. To avoid risk of damage to the equipment, ensure body static is discharged first by touching a grounded surface or wearing suitable ESD grounding equipment while terminating cables.

Bridging a Single Input Power Connection across Relay Outputs

In this installation scenario, a single input power connection, line, neutral and ground) are bridged between the power input and all relays or partial bridging, using a voltage barrier to separate discrete fed circuits from bridged terminations.

When bridging the input power, the total load is limited to 20A across all related relays.

2 Installation 15

Step 1: Terminate Input Power.

a: Pull Input Power, 2 wires plus ground to the left side of the enclosure.

b: Strip 1/2” (12mm) of insulation from each wire.

c: Insert the ground wire to the ground terminal (labeled with a ground symbol), and torque the terminal to 1.3 foot-pounds (1.76Nm).

d: Insert the neutral wire to the N terminal and torque the terminal to 1.3 foot-pounds (1.76Nm).

e: Insert the line (hot) wire to terminal 1 and torque the terminal to 1.3 foot-pounds (1.76Nm).

Step 2: Terminate Relay Outputs (4 or 8 relays).

a: Pull Relay Output wires, 2 to 3 wires for each relay depending on the installation requirements, to the left side of the enclosure.

b: Strip 1/2” (12mm) of insulation from each wire.

c: Insert the line (hot) wire to the terminal marked IN* (IN2, IN3, etc.)and torque the terminal to 1.3 foot-pounds (1.76Nm).

d: When bridging Relay Outputs, insert a wire between the THRU* terminal and the next relay IN* terminal. If you are not bridging outputs, do not terminate to the THRU terminal.

e: Connect the load wire to the terminal marked OUT* (OUT2, OUT3, etc) and torque the terminal to 1.3 foot-pounds (1.76Nm).

Step 3: Install a relay voltage separator between any normal power relays and emergency power relays in the enclosure or between relays with different voltage inputs.

Low Voltage Wiring

Low voltage wire terminations are located on the right side of the enclosure, visible with the front cover removed.

Terminate Contact Inputs

Contact inputs are available for: • AV Input - used to trigger a preset from an external system, such as an

AV control system.• UL924 Input- used to trigger lighting looks from an emergency system

such as a fire alarm.• Demand Response Input - accepts a remote trigger that allows the

controller to reduce lighting levels, thereby reducing power consumption.

The contact inputs can be configured as follows:• AV input is configurable to be a momentary or maintained contact.

Factory default is momentary. It requires a normally open dry contact closure.

• UL924 input is configurable to be a normally open or normally closed contact. It requires a maintained dry contact closure.

• Demand Response input requires a normally open dry contact closure.

Configuration switches are available for the Emergency (UL924) and AV input contacts to further define normally closed (maintained) configuration as needed. Demand Response contacts are always open and are not provided with additional configuration options.

Instructions for terminating to dry contact inputs are the same regardless of function.

Step 1: Pull 2 wires to the right side of the enclosure.

Step 2: Strip 1/4” (6mm) of insulation from each wire.

Step 3: Insert one wire into each terminal for the contact input, and torque the terminal to 4.4 inch-pounds (0.5Nm).

Note: Each contact input terminates using the same method, therefore only one instruction is provided.

The Room Controller offers 0-10V output control for each zone, allowing direct connection to dimming ballasts and LED drivers. The 0-10V outputs are capable of sinking a current of up to 100mA.

Step 1: Pull 0-10V wiring, typically a grey and violet wire pair, to the right side of the enclosure.

Step 2: Strip 1/4” (6mm) of insulation from each wire.

Step 3: Insert the positive wire (typically grey) into the terminal labeled “+” and torque the terminal to 4.4 inch-pounds (0.5Nm).

Step 4: Insert the negative wire (typically violet) into the terminal labeled “-” and torque the terminal to 4.4 inch-pounds (0.5Nm).

2 Installation 19

EchoConnect Bus

The Room Controller connects to the EchoConnect station communication bus and provides data and power for up to six Echo devices (stations and sensors), and up to six power controllers when the related Station Power Supply Switch is enabled.

EchoConnect is a bidirectional protocol that uses one pair of wires (station + and station -) for both data and power. EchoConnect is topology free, you may install the wires in any combination of bus, star, loop, or home-run.

Termination for EchoConnect and the 24 Vdc output power are a shared connector on the low voltage side of the enclosure.

For Room Controller models that include a built-in Echo TimeClock, a pigtail wire harness is installed to the EchoConnect bus connector and provides a pluggable connectors to the TimeClock interface for both EchoConnect and 24 Vdc.

Step 1: Pull the required wiring (station +, station -, and ESD ground wire) to the right side of the enclosure.

Note: By factory default, the Station Power switch is disabled. Only one power supply per EchoConnect station bus should be enabled. If more than one power supply is enabled, Echo devices will not function correctly.

Note: All control wiring should be installed and terminated by a qualified installer and should follow standard wiring installation practices. Leave approximately 10 inches (254mm) of wiring in the back box for connection and to allow slack for future service needs.

Note: ETC requires that all stations be grounded. Pull an additional 14 AWG (1.5mm2) wire for grounding when control wires are not installed in grounded metal conduit

Configuration

Set Space and Address Switches

Two rotary switches are located on the low voltage side of the controller and provide for Space and Zone Address assignment. By default, these switches are set to Space 1, zone Address 1.

When selecting the Space, all control inputs from the connected stations, sensors and other controls are shared by all devices within the selected space.

The Zone Address switch sets the zone for the first output in the controller, and automatically assigns the next consecutive zone numbers to the remaining outputs in the controller. For example, if the switch is to 12 on a 4 zone controller, the controlled zones are 12, 13, 14, and 15.

Step 1: Set the Space rotary switch to the desired Space for this controller.

Step 2: Set the Zone rotary switch to the desired Zone address for this controller.

Reset Switch

Press and release the [Reset] button to reboot the Room Controller.

Restore Factory Defaults

Step 1: With power applied to the unit, set both the Space and Zone Address rotary switches to 16.

Step 2: Toggle the AV Input mode switch between momentary and maintained five (5) times. The Room Controller will erase all customer stored Preset data and restore to factory default values.

Step 3: To continue the configuration of your Room Controller, reset the Space and Address Switches to the correct values before proceeding with the configuration.

Note: When setting the first zone Address, be careful to allow enough in the range for all outputs in the controller. For example, if you set the first zone in an8 Zone controller to address 10, the last two outputs in the controller will be assigned to and controlled on Zone 16.

Set AV Input Configuration Switch

The AV Input configuration switch provides selection of the contact input configuration, either Momentary or Maintained, for the AV input. By factory default, this switch is set to Momentary.

• In Momentary mode, closure of the contact toggles the configured Preset for contact closure.

• If the Preset is inactive and the contact is made, it activates the Preset.• If the Preset is active and the contact is made, it deactivates the Preset.

• In Maintained mode, closure of the contact activates the Preset or plays the Off action configured for contact closure. Opening of the closure deactivates the Preset or Off action configured for the contact opening.

Set Station Power Supply Switch

A system of Echo products can consist of up to 16 Echo power controllers and 16 Echo devices (stations and sensors). The Room Controller is considered a power controller. A Room Controller with a built-in Echo TimeClock is considered both a power controller and a station.

The Room Controller can provide EchoConnect bus power supporting an Echo system with up to 6 Echo devices (stations and sensors), and up to 6 power controllers when the Station Power switch is enabled (set to On). By factory default, the Station Power switch is disabled. An external power supply is required to support a full system maximum of 16 Echo devices.

Enable the Station Power Supply

Slide the Station Power switch to the “On” position to enable the EchoConnect bus Power supply from the Room Controller.

Set Emergency UL924 Configuration Switch

The Emergency UL924 Configuration switch provides configuration of the UL924 contact input, allowing selection of NO (normally open), NC (normally closed), or Off (disabled). By factory default, this switch is set to NO (normally open).

Note: By factory defaults -

• Preset 4 is activated on closure in Momentary or Maintained mode.

• Off is activated on release of the Maintained contact, or subsequent transitions

of the momentary contact.

Note: Only one EchoConnect power supply per station bus should be enabled. If more than one power supply is present, Echo devices will not function correctly.

2 Installation 23

Set Emergency UL924 Load Shed Switch

The Emergency UL924 Load Shed switch provides configuration enable or disable load shedding when an emergency contact input is activated (opened or closed depending on the state of the Emergency UL924 Configuration Switch). By factory default, this switch is set to On (enabled).

Load shedding functions in conjunction with each output Emergency UL924 Inclusion switch.

Load Shedding Enabled and Emergency UL924 Inclusion Switches

When the emergency contact input is activated and the UL924 Load Shed switch is set to On, the following can be expected for each output in the controller:

• For outputs that are included in emergency, the relay will close and the 0-10V output will be driven to its maximum output level.

• For outputs that are excluded from emergency, the load and its connected 0-10V output will be turned off.

Load Shedding Disabled and Emergency UL924 Inclusion Switches

When the emergency contact input is activated and the UL924 Load Shed switch is set to Off, the following can be expected for each output in the controller:

• For outputs that are included in emergency, the relay will close and the 0-10V output will be driven to its maximum output level.

• For outputs that are excluded from emergency, the circuit remains at its current level.

Set Emergency UL924 Inclusion Switch (one per output)

Each output in the Room Controller has an Emergency UL924 Inclusion Switch which configures the circuit to be included or excluded from the Emergency UL924 configuration. By factory default, all outputs are set to On (included) in Emergency.

• An output that is included in Emergency (switch is set to On) will turn the load on to full when the Emergency contact input is activated.

• An output that is excluded from Emergency (switch is set to Off) will behave according to the UL924 Load Shed configuration switch. See “Set Emergency UL924 Load Shed Switch” on page 23.

Set Demand Response Level

The Demand Response contact input, when closed, limits the maximum 0-10V level of each zone (output) to the configured level that was pre-determined using the Demand Response rotary fader corresponding to each zone.

Use a precision screwdriver to change the rotary fader level to any value between 0-100%. A Demand Response rotary fader setting of 0 turns the relay off when Demand Response is triggered.

3 Power Up and Configure 25

Before Applying Power to the Controller

Step 1: Clean out dust, metal scraps or other debris from the enclosure.

Step 2: Check for loose connections, bare wires or damaged insulation on both the low voltage and high voltage sides of the enclosure.

Step 3: Replace the high voltage cover to the unit.

Step 4: Check that all configuration switches are set according to the installation requirement. See “Configuration” on page 21.

Step 5: Use a voltage meter to check power between the Stn- and Stn+ terminals on the Echoconnect station connector. If any voltage is present, disable or leave the Station Power Supply Switch in the Off position. See “Set Station Power Supply Switch” on page 22..

WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Power must be off when you perform this procedure.

CAUTION: Checking the Room Controller installation requires contact with the printed circuit board inside the enclosure, which does have electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive components on it. To avoid risk of damage to the equipment, ensure body static is discharged first by touching a grounded surface or wearing suitable ESD grounding equipment while terminating cables.

Note: Only one power supply per station bus should be enabled. If more than one power supply is present, Echo devices will not function correctly.

3 Power Up and Configure 27

Preset and Zone Configuration

The Room Controller supports either 4 or 8 zones, depending on the model, and up to 16 built-in presets.

Preset Defaults

Preset levels for all controllable outputs default to the following:

Fade time defaults are 2 seconds for 0-10V and switched relay outputs. Fade time can be configured using EchoAccess. Reference the EchoAccess Mobile App integrated help system for details about available configurable device parameters and actions.

AV Input Preset

The AV contact input is configurable to be a momentary or maintained contact closure and requires a normally-open dry contact closure. By factory default, when the contact is closed, the Room Controller toggles preset 4.

Custom Configuration OptionFor more information about the custom configuration options available using EchoAccess, reference the EchoAccess Mobile App integrated help system.

TimeClock ConfigurationReference the Echo TimeClock Configuration Manual for instructions to configure the Echo TimeClock.

Demand ResponseWhen Demand Response is active, check the outputs are at the expected level.

If the observed output level is different than expected, check the Demand Response LED for indication of activation. See page 26 for LED indications.

The outputs generated with an active Demand Response will not exceed the level set by each of the corresponding Demand Response rotary faders. Reference Set Demand Response Level on page 23.
