    Installation should follow local codes and standard practices. Install the backbox flush and square for best installation results. Alternatively, a surface mounted backbox may be used (sold separately and available from ETC.) Connect the Wiring The E-ATC ships with an EchoConnect pigtail, a 24 Vdc power pigtail, spacers and all required screws and connectors for the installation.
  • Page 14 Step 1: Pull all required wiring into the installed backbox. As needed, pull an additional ESD ground wire (required only when the station is not installed in grounded metal conduit). Step 2: Terminate and connect station ESD ground. Locate the ESD ground wire pigtail and one WAGO cage clamp connector from the termination kit.
  • Page 15: Install The E-Atc Into The Back Box

    Step 4: Terminate and connect 24 Vdc auxiliary power wires. Locate the 24 Vdc power pigtail (black and red wire pair) and two WAGO cage clamp connectors from the termination kit. Strip 3/8” (9-10mm) from the ends of the installed auxiliary power wires (typically red and black wire pair) from the power source and remove the pre-stripped ends from each 24 Vdc aux power pigtail wire.
