Welcome to the Elaho Astronomical TimeClock (E-ATC) Installation and Configuration Manual. This guide contains the procedures for successful programming of the E-ATC when used as part of an Elaho control system. The E-ATC provides Elaho power control systems with low-cost, easy- to-use, and easy-to-program time-based control.
Warnings and Notice Conventions These symbols are used throughout Echoflex documentation to alert you to danger or important information. Note: Notes are helpful hints and information that are supplemental to the main text. CAUTION: A Caution statement indicates situations where there may be undefined or unwanted consequences of an action, potential for data loss or an equipment problem.

The E-ATC requires EchoConnect. EchoConnect is a bidirectional protocol that uses one pair of wires (data + and data -) for both data and power. Echoflex recommends using Belden 8471 (or approved equal) Class 2 wire. The total combined length of an EchoConnect wire run (using Belden 8471, or equal) may not exceed 1,640 feet...
The E-ATC is capable of flush or surface mounting for installation in any location with conditions meeting the ambient environment requirements listed Ambient Environment on page 4 Alternatively, the E-ATC can be integrated into an Elaho Room Controller. Flush Flush mount the E-ATC to an industry standard two gang back box, not provided.
Elaho control system utilizes the EchoConnect bus for communication, allowing Elaho enabled products to interact. An Elaho control system is limited to 16 Elaho control products and 16 Elaho output products. If more Elaho products are required in a system, an Elaho Expansion Bridge may be added to the system.

Installation and Setup The Elaho Astronomical Timeclock (E-ATC) is designed to install into a flush mounted, industry standard, two gang back box (provided by others). Installation should follow local codes and standard practices. Install the back box flush and square for best installation results.

Install the E-ATC into the Back Box Receptacle spacers are provided to help align the station and cover flush against the wall in flush mount applications. The spacers are not required when installing the station into a surface mount back box. Insert the station electronics and wiring into the back box.
Swing the bottom of the faceplate down until the magnets engage. If the faceplate does not fully attach automatically, wiggle the bottom of the plate until the magnets are seated properly to the station nd the plate is secure. Elaho Astronomical TimeClock...
User Interface Overview Keypad The user interface has an easy to use menu-navigation keypad that includes [Up], [Down], [Back], and [Enter] buttons. The [Recall Preset] and [Hold] buttons are provided for everyday time clock operation. Pressing [Up], [Down], or [Enter] will activate the main menu. Pressing the [Recall Preset] or [Hold] buttons wakes the LCD and invokes the respective timeclock function.

The display indicates the affected space with a Timed Hold enabled. Both the space number and the time remaining are shown. If additional spaces have a Timed Hold enabled, the display will cycle through all spaces at two second intervals. Lighting Timeclock Lighting Timeclock Lighting Timeclock...
Auto Timed Hold All scheduled events support a configurable Auto Timed Hold property with options of No, Yes, and While Closed. By default, all events are set to use While Closed for the Auto Timed Hold setting. Elaho Astronomical TimeClock...
When a preset or sequence is manually triggered during an event and Auto Timed Hold is set to Yes, that active event is placed on hold until the interrupting action has completed and the hold timer lapses (hold timer is default is 120 minutes), or in the case of the While Closed setting, the Open event occurs.
[Enter] commits the current selection and progresses to the next available selection field. Pressing [Back] discards any changes and highlights the previous selection. The default for Open is 8:00 am. • The default for Close is 9:00 pm. • Elaho Astronomical TimeClock...

The Presets menu provides access to manually activate, record, and deactivate host presets. The number of presets available is dependant on the product type. Elaho Relay Panel and ETC's Sensor IQ - up to 64 presets • ETC's Unison DRd rack with E-ACP - up to 64 presets •...
Record a Preset Before recording a new preset or recording over an existing preset, set the desired lighting look using Elaho Inspire or Preset stations, the product user interface, or an external DMX control source. Note: Recording a preset will affect the function of the button stations and other products in the system.
Holiday Shut-Off The Holiday Shut-Off feature enables override of scheduled events (per individual space) for a specified period of time (1-7 days). The default override is set to 1 day. The Holiday Shut-Off feature is compliant with California Title 24. H o l i d a y S h u t - O f f Holiday Shut-Off H o l i d a y S h u t - O f f b e g i n s i n 5 : 0 0...
