Magnetic Loads 20 A @ up to 300 VAC 300 W @ 120 VAC (2.5 A max) Note: ETC does not support the use of the ERP-DIM with magnetic loads. Use ERP- DIM-MLV with magnetic loads. Relay and Dimmer Ratings Rating...
50 ballasts. Note: A single, 24-position Echo Relay Panel Mains Feed supports the use of either the 0–10V Dimming Control option card (ERP-LVD) or the DALI Control option card (ERP-DALI), but not both in the same panel.
Note: It is best to install any panel option kits after conduit rough-in and load and control terminations are complete to reduce the likelihood of damage to the option card. 1. Turn off power to the relay panel. 2. Align the option card to the mounting studs located on the left side of the relay panel termination I/O board.
Page 44
Note: By default, the associated output loop terminal number matches the relay circuit number inside the relay panel. For example, if relay 1 is connected to a 4-wire fluorescent dimmer, ballast control wiring would terminate to the output terminals labeled “+ 1 -” on the 0–10 V Dimming Control option card. To customize the links between relay and 0–10 V control, see the Power Control Processor Mk2 Configuration Manual .
The DALI ballast is powered by an external DALI loop power supply which is supplied by • others. This supply is internally connected to the Echo Relay Panel Mains Feed. The number of power supplies needed for each DALI loop, is based on the connected load.
Install the ERP-DALI Option Card 1. Turn off power to the relay panel. 2. Align the ERP-DALI option card to the mounting studs located to the left of the relay panel termination I/O board. 3. Insert the card edge connector from the ERP-DALI into the receptacle on the relay panel termination I/O board.

1. Pull DALI ballast control wiring pairs into the Echo Relay Panel , per the wire entry plan. See Cable Routing and Conduit Access on page 1 2. Strip the insulation back from each wire pair 6 mm (1/4 in). 3. Remove the pluggable screw connector for the DALI loop matching the relay circuit. 4.
Appendix D Contact Input Option Card Overview The Contact Input Option Card (ERP-CI) provides the ability to directly control the relays of the Echo Relay Panel using a momentary or maintained dry contact input. Installation WARNING: RISK OF DEATH BY ELECTRIC SHOCK! Failure to disconnect all power to the panel before working inside could result in serious injury or death.
3. Insert the card edge connector from the ERP-CI into the receptacle on the right of the relay panel termination board. 4. Fit the provided protection cover over the installed board. 5. Secure the cover and ERP-CI in place using the four screws provided in the kit. Connect Wiring The contact input card provides four bus connections for termination of up to 24 individual dry contact inputs.
Programming The ERP-CI is programmable through the Echo Relay Panel user interface. This setting determines how each relay responds to a dry contact input signal. 1. When in the Main Menu, select Arch Setup. 2. Within the Arch Setup menu, select Contact Inputs. When the Contact Input card is installed, you will have the following options within the Contact Inputs menu: Contact displays the number of contact being configured, 1–24.
