A Voltage Barrier may be used to separate multiple voltages and/or emergency circuits from normal circuits within the Relay Panel. This is an accessory option, sold separately, and available for use when local code requires. Contact ETC for assistance. 3. Repeat this process for the remaining Line and Load wires for the installation.
Connect Power Control Electronics AC Input WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Power must be off when you perform this procedure. AVERTISSEMENT : RISQUE DE DÉCHARGE ÉLECTRIQUE! L'alimentation doit étre éteinte avant d'exécuter cette procédure. Control electronics input power connects in the ERP-FT on screw terminals. The transformer is a multi-tap transformer with winding for 120 VAC and 240/277 VAC at 50/60 Hz.
Connect Power Pigtail for ERP48-FT In a standard model 48-way Echo Relay Panel Feedthrough, a spiral wrapped power pigtail cable is hard wired to the transformer in the top panel and connected to the transformer in the lower panel. This connection is made at the factory prior to shipment.

Appendix A 0–10V Option Card Overview The 0–10V Dimming Control option card (ERP-FT-LVD) is designed for LED drivers and fluorescent ballasts. It sinks up to 400 mA current on each of its 24 outputs. Each channel output is linked one-to-one with a relay circuit for power control and can control up to 50 ballasts.

Images in this section show a 24-channel panel (ERP24-FT). 1. Turn off power to the relay panel. 2. Remove the four screws securing the front panel to the ERP-FT. 3. Fold down the User Interface panel, taking care to leave all wire harnesses connected. This panel has two tabs that, when inserted, provide additional support for the fold-down panel.
Connect Wiring The 0–10V Dimming Control option card provides four bus connections for termination of six 0–10 V outputs each (24 channels). A pluggable screw-terminal connector is provided for each bus, and is labeled for ease of identification of each output. The removable connectors accept 0.25–4 mm (24–12 AWG) wire.

Connect the Wire Harness 1. Connect one end of the provided wire harness to the Both connectors five-pin connector on the option card. The harness end oriented with should be oriented with the wires coming out of the wires coming out of the back back.
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 Feedthrough. The number of power supplies needed for each DALI loop, is based on the connected load.
Install the ERP-FT-DALI Option Card Images in this section show a 24-channel panel (ERP24-FT). 1. Turn off power to the relay panel. 2. Remove the four screws securing the front panel to the ERP-FT. 3. Fold down the User Interface panel, taking care to leave all wire harnesses connected.
Connect Wiring Note: Control wiring must be routed in separate conduit from the line voltage wiring for DALI ballasts. Note: The associated output loop terminal number should always match the relay circuit number inside the relay panel. For example: If relay 1 is connected to a DALI ballast load, control wiring would terminate to the ERP-FT-DALI option board output terminals labeled “+ 1 -”.
