  • Page 3: Introduction

    Applications The ECM-20SH is designed to be flexible for use in a variety of applications. When used with a sequenced controller it allows the turn- ing of equipment on and off from a remote location to save energy and to reduce an in-rush of current that stresses the main AC line. It also can be used as a standalone unit for protection against lightning strikes or voltage surges and applies EMI/RFI filtering to clean up the AC power at the load source.

    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: •...

    E. D = Fault Status Signal, reports to the ECS-6RM fault conditions of an ECM module. 2. External Trigger / Manual On Switch – The ECM-20SH has a manual override switch allowing it to be used as a local Power Conditioner and Surge Suppressor. For it to be remotely monitored and activated, the switch must be in the “External Trigger”...

    1000ft. Using the ECM-20SH as a Standalone Unit The ECM-20SH can be used as standalone unit for local equipment protection. It does not need to be connected to an ECS-6RM to operate. You still get protection against AC spikes from short power surges and you get all the EMI/RFI power conditioning filtering. Without connecting to an ECS-6RM, the ECM-20SH does not utilize the Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) protection and the Voltage and Current Status readings To active the ECM-20SH via an external contact closure or switch plate, set the slide switch to “External...

    To get maximum use of the ECM-20SH we suggest using the ECS-6RM controller. When the two are interfaced the ECS-6RM control- ler not only can remotely turn on the ECM-20SH but it can monitor the AC Mains Voltage and Current of the ECM-20SH. When mated, the microprocessor in the ECS-6RM can determine if there are any potentially damaging AC Voltages present at the ECM-20SH and shut it off before damage can occur to sensitive equipment connected.

    Sequence 3 timing section. Contact Atlas Sound for AC outlet options. Mounting Rails – The ECM-20SH can be mounted into most racks that have at least 12" of internal height. The housing has breakaway rail mounting tabs that make it convenient to secure the raceway in most applications. There are two rails to secure the ECM-20SH to a cabinet or wall.
  • Page 11: Troubleshooting As A Standalone Unit

    Possible Cause #1: Incoming AC mains circuit breaker has tripped due to excessive load. Action Needed: Check the AC outlet that the ECM-20SH is plugged into for 120V AC voltage. If no voltage is present, check to see if the AC outlet is on a GFI and check to see if it was tripped. If it has not been tripped trace the AC Mains outlet back to the electrical panel and check the AC Mains breaker to see if it is tripped.

Possible Cause: The AC Mains Voltage at the ECM Module reached between 127-132VAC or the voltage dropped between 107-101VAC. Action Needed: The ECS-6RM must be re-sequenced to turn off the LED, measure the AC mains before restarting the ECM Module.
