Installation and Setup
The Echo Astronomical Timeclock (E-ATC) is designed to install into a flush
mounted, industry standard, two-gang backbox (provided by others).
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.

Connect the Wiring
When using Category5 (or equivalent) cable on the EchoConnect
communication bus, please note the following:
- Not all topologies are supported using Cat5; careful planning is
required to ensure the proper termination kits are available and
the wire is pulled appropriately.
- Cat5 wiring may be terminated using EchoConnect Cat5 Station
Termination Kit and must be installed using a bus topology. Refer
to the installation guide that is provided with the Cat5 Station
Termination Kit (7186A1207) for information to terminate Cat5
wiring.
