Getting Started The WTC is part of a designed solution made up of connected devices. It coordinates the lighting controllers by setting levels, recalling lighting scenes, and can send instructions to ignore linked sensors or stations. In addition to other settings, Echoflex controllers each have 15 preset light intensity levels that are configurable from 0% to 100%, and one preset level reserved for OFF that is not configurable.
Organize Proper planning is required to design the lighting effects and schedules for different Scenes that light a space. Consider creating a plan to manage the lighting effects you want to control. You may need different plans for different building types, like a lecture hall, office, or school.
Link and Configure The WTC must be linked to the target lighting controllers to create lighting effects using scheduled Events and Scenes. Recommended steps: TimeClock Settings page • Configure TimeClock defaults, see Link or UnLink page • Identify and Link the target controllers, see •...
• None - identifies an Event number that has no defined Action; it has no effect. The factory default for all Event numbers is None. • Mask - defines an Event where controllers in a Group ignore input from a type of transmitter. For example, a Mask will ensure that vacancy detected by an occupancy sensor does not turn the lights OFF during normal office hours.
