Installing a Re mote Activation Input to the ALCR-DIN
The ALCR-DIN offers a normally closed, dry contact input to accommodate connection
to fire alarm panels, security systems, and test switches. This input ships from the
factory with a blue wire loop (jumper) off the bottom screw terminals. This complete loop
disables remote activation.
N o t e :
The remote device that triggers the Emergency circuit "On" must provide a normally
closed, maintained dry contact closure. When the remote device is activated, the
contact closure is opened and the contacts force the ALCR into the emergency "On"
state.

Configuration of Time Delay
The Automatic Load Control Relay features a user configurable delay time between
regaining normal power and removing power from the emergency lighting. This delay
time could be used to account for loads that may require a warm up time, for example
HID lamps. The unit ships from the factory configured for 0 delay time. If a longer
transition time is required follow the steps below for configuration:

ETC highly recommends that you power up and test your system before
connecting to a remote device.
Do not remove the factory installed jumper unless you are installing a remote
triggering device.
A remote device, such as a test switch or the external emergency system such
as a fire alarm panel or security system must be installed within 1,000 feet of
the ALCR-PP when using 18AWG wire.
Power up and test your system before installing a remote activation input to your
ALCR. See
"Initial Test" on page
Remove the factory installed jumper from the Remote Loop In and Remote Loop
Out terminals.
Connect the Remote Loop In and Remote Loop Out terminals on the ALCR-DIN
to the single pole contacts on the remote device or test switch.
Continue to
"Remote Activation Test"
Press the [Option Button] located on the user
interface of the ALCR. Both "Status" and
"Remote" LEDs will blink to indicate the delay
time that is configured.
Press the [Option Button] to increment
through the available settings.
When the blink pattern matches your desired
delay time, wait 10 seconds for the operation
to time-out. The delay time setting will be
saved to memory and the ALCR will return to normal operation.
The time delay only applies to the main contact on the ALCR. It does not apply
to the auxiliary contact on the DIN rail unit.
