Unison Echo
-Echoflex Interface
Overview
The Echo-Echoflex Interface (EEI) provides communication
between Unison Echo and Echoflex control systems by
converting wireless Echoflex controls into Unison Echo
actions, and enabling Unison Echo controls to control
wireless Echoflex power controllers.
The Echo-Echoflex Interface installs on standard DIN rail.
Accessory Kits
ETC provides a Low Voltage DIN rail Cover Kit (ETC part
number 7186A1218) that allows installation of the Echo-
Echoflex Interface to any standard 4" (10.16cm) junction box
(provided by others). Contact ETC for ordering details.
ETC offers an Echo-Echoflex Interface Antenna Kit (ETC part
number 7186K1001) that allows the installation of an external antenna. Contact ETC for ordering details.
