ER6CD
600 Watt Dimmer
Install Guide
This guide covers all models of the ER6CD lighting controller. The box contents
includes the controller with lock nut and installation guide.
Overview
The ER6CD controller is a 600 Watt dimming controller.
The model ER6CD-AU-120 is phase adaptive and the model ER6CD-AU-277
provides reverse phase dimming control. They both provide dimming control
for line voltage tungsten lamps, 2-wire fluorescent ballasts and line voltage
LED drivers. The ER6CD-AU-120 also controls 120V electronic low-voltage
transformer loads. Neither of these controllers can accommodate magnetic, or
step-down transformer loads.
These controllers have a single channel dimming output and uses wireless
technology to monitor any rooms environment, eliminating much of the wiring
normally required for distributed lighting control. This translates into quick
installations with less disruption to occupants, allowing facilities to accelerate
retrofit schedules and start saving money sooner.
The controller supports several methods of configuration making it easy for
installers and facility operators to manage these settings without extra tools
reducing call-backs and installation expense.

    Radio Range Confirmation The “F series” controllers includes patent pending technology that works with all Echoflex sensors equipped with the range confirmation feature to provide visual feedback of a linked sensors signal strength for optimal sensor placement. To evaluate the radio signal strength, the sensor must be also support the test and be linked to the controller.
  • Page 5 • 120V Electronic low voltage transformer Placement and Radio Range The controller is intended for use with Echoflex wireless sensors and switches. Consideration should be made for locating the controller based on the construction materials and furniture that may disrupt transmissions. Fire doors, elevator shafts, stairwells, storage areas and any large metal objects can create radio shadows and disrupt wireless transmissions.

With the controller cleared or in the factory default state, click the wireless switch ON three times, OFF three times and ON three times quickly within 5 seconds. Using this method of linking a switch will only work on the first wireless switch.
