• T o prevent electric shock, do not remove the device cover as there are high voltage components inside. Refer all servicing to ETA Systems. • S hould any of the following irregularities occur during use, immediately switch off the power, disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet and contact ETA Systems. Do not to attempt to continue operation of the device as this may cause fire or electric shock. • S moke or strange smell coming from the unit. • I f the device falls or the case is damaged.
The ECM modules have been designed to be flexible to meet a variety of AC power management requirements. The mating of the ETA-ECS6RM to the ECM modules can be accomplished using any 5 conductor cable and can be placed up to 1000 ft away from each other.

APPLICATIONS The ETA-ECS6RM was designed to be flexible with features that allow it to be used in a variety of applications. The sequenced outputs allow the turning of equipment On and Off in a particular order, to eliminate an in rush of current and audible pops that often occur with non-sequenced power strips.

ETA-ECS6RM causing the Channel Activation LED to flash Red, indicating an error has occurred. Note: The LED will continue to flash until the voltage has stabilized at the ECM module and ETA-ECS6RM is reset. To reset the ETA-ECS6RM, restart the sequencing.

4. Channel Selection Switches – These push button switches allow the selection of the channel to be viewed at the Voltage and Current Meter. 5. Channel Selected LEDs – There are six Channels in the ETA-ECS6RM and only one Channel Voltage or Current can be viewed at a time. The Channel selected and being viewed is indicated by the illuminated LEDs.

REAR PANEL 1. ECM Control Ports – Up to 6 AC Main circuits can be activated or monitored by the ETA-ECS6RM. Each ECM control port connects to one of the following ECM modules: ETA-ECM20M, ETA-15SH, ETA-20SH, and the ETA-ECM20. For connection between the ETA- ECS6 and an ECM module use a 5 conductor cable that is a minimum of 22-gauge wire.

Electrical Control Sequencer 4. Trigger Switches – Up to three ETA-ECS6RM units can be daisy chained together giving you 18 sequenced outputs. To do so you need to set the timing sequence of each unit. There are four dip switches that determine the position of the unit and the delay between sequencing.

ECM DATA WIRE AND DISTANCE There are four different types of ECM Modules that require the same interface connectivity to the ETA-ECS6RM. All ECM Modules can be interfaced with the ETA-ECS6RM. For connection between the ETA-ECS6RM and an ECM module, use a 5 conductor cable that is a minimum of 22-gauge wire.

Note: If connected to the ETA-ECS6RM and the EVS circuit is activated this LED will not be on. The Channel Status LED on the ETA-ECS6RM will flash indicating a problem and will not turn the ECM module on until the AC Mains voltage is stable.
This Electrical Control Module (ECM) is a 15A Power Conditioner and AC Spike Suppressor designed to be a standalone Single Housing (SH) unit that can be placed up to 1000 ft away from the ETA-ECS6RM. To make full use of the ETA-15SH features, the ECM must be connected to the ETA-ECS6RM controller to activate features such as AC Mains voltage monitoring, load current monitoring, and Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS).

ETA-ECS6RM Electrical Control Sequencer ECM-RACEWY6 ECM Housing The ETA-ECM20 and ETA-ECM20M require an electrical housing. The ECM-RACEWY6 holds up to 6 ECM modules. There are standard ¾" and 1" electrical knockouts on the bottom of the raceway to support standard electrical mounting hardware. Since the Raceway can house 6 ECM modules there can be 6 separate 20A AC legs coming into the Raceway for a total of 120A of power distribution or it could be as simple as one 20A leg.

Remote Activation. In certain applications ETA Systems suggests using an ETA-ECM20 Module vs. an ETA-ECM20M in places where some of the features would be redundant because of the electrical location of the ECM module. This would be a cost savings to use a less expensive ECM module where redundant circuitry is not needed.

EXAMPLES ETA-ECM20/M20RW MODULE WIRING CONFIGURATIONS The ETA-ECM20/M20RW is designed to be mated with the ECM-RACEWY6 housing and the ETA-ECS6RM controller. The specific job AC power requirements and power distribution layout will dictate how the ETA-ECM20M Modules are wired into the Raceway. Each ECM Module can be wired as a single 20A run or in a parallel configuration as illustrated below.
ECM module. Possible short in the wiring system. Issue 4 – ECM Active LED is not illuminated but the Incoming LED is. The Abnormal LED on the ETA-ECS6RM voltage display is flashing “OL” and the ETA-ECS6RM Channel that is activating the ECM module Green Status LED is Flashing.
ETA-ECS6RM Electrical Control Sequencer Issue 5 – ETA-ECS6RM Channel Activation Status LED is Flashing Green and AC Power and Active LED at the ECM Module is Illuminated. Possible Cause The AC Mains Voltage at the ECM Module reached between 127VAC-132VAC or the voltage dropped between 101VAC- 107VAC.
