    ECS-6RM Owner’s Manual Sequence Controller & Monitor Important Safety Instructions The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage “ within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
  • Page 4 Should any of the following irregularities occur during use, immediately switch off the power, disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet and contact Atlas Sound. Do not to attempt to continue operation with the product as this may cause fire or electric shock: •...

  • Page 5: Introduction

    Six Timing Sections with Remote Monitoring) modular system has been designed to meet most installation requirements for AC power distribution, equipment power conditioning and surge suppression protection. The compact 1RU unit features six sequential timing sections that can be activated at the unit or remotely. Up to three ECS-6RM units can be daisy chained together with independent trigger timing settings giving you a total of 18 sequence triggered outlets.

    Another factor would be from voltage drops in AC lines due to long transmissions. The ECS-6RM will inform you if any of these conditions occur.

  • Page 7: Front Panel Description

    Red “Standby” - If a Channel on an ECM-20, ECM-20M, ECM-15SH or ECM-20SH module is connected to the ECS-6RM Red LED will illuminate indicating that Channel is active and in Standby mode. If there are Channels of the ECS-6RM with no ECM modules connected, NO LED for that Channel will illuminate indicating NO CONNECTION (nC) has been established.
  • Page 8 These push button switches allow the selection of the Channel to be viewed at the Voltage and Current Meter. 6. Channel Selected LEDs There are six Channels in the ECS-6RM and only one Channel Voltage or Current can be viewed at a time. The Channel selected and being viewed is indicated by the illuminated LEDs.

    5 conductor cable that is a minimum of 24 gauge wire. We suggest using CAT5 cable due to the common availability. Pay special attention to the port connections and DO NOT MISWIRE or damage may occur. The distance between the ECS-6RM and an ECM module can be up to 1000ft.
  • Page 10 Rear Panel 3. Remote Activation Connections Remote DC Voltage Trigger - The ECS-6RM can be remotely activated from hundreds of feet away using a DCV for activation. DC voltages ranging from 3V DC to 24V DC can be applied to the two terminal connections on the Remote Activation port marked “RMT V IN”...

    Up to three units can be connected in series. Connection is via a RJ45 connector. A common Ethernet cable can be used. Note: This is not an IP Ethernet port and is only used for ECS-6RM connectivity between units. Distance between units can be several feet apart. Start with the Master Unit by connecting to the “OUT”...

    Remote Activation. In certain applications Atlas Sound suggests using an ECM-20 Module vs. an ECM-20M like in places where some of the features would be redundant because of the electrical location of the ECM module. There would be a cost savings to use a less expensive ECM module where redundant circuitry is not needed.

    Sequence Controller & Monitor ECM-20/M Module Wiring Configuration The ECM-20/M is designed to be mated with the ECM-RACEWY6 housing and the ECS-6RM controller. The specific job install AC power requirements and power distribution layout will dictate how the ECM-20/M Modules are wired into the Raceway. Each ECM Module can be wired as a single 20A run or in a parallel configuration as illustrated below.
