Introduction The Bicolor Luminaire Controller, model ELED2-BCL, is a wireless lighting controller designed for horticultural spaces/areas where intensity and blended correlated color temperature (CCT) control are required. The ELED2-BCL creates a range of desired lighting effects based on manual switch action, ambient light levels, and timeclock or gateway commands for a single LED fixture or an entire zone.
Document Conventions Echoflex's user documentation is designed for print or electronic use. Cross-references highlighted in this document are links to the referenced section of the guide. Configuration parameters are emphasized in italics. Switch actions (ON/OFF) and dimmer events (lights ON/OFF) are emphasized in ALL CAPS. Buttons are emphasized in [Bold Bracket]. This document uses the following conventions to draw your attention to important information.
Control Features Blended Effects The ELED2-BCL controls light intensity and CCT. By connecting the low voltage outputs to a fixture's internal channels for cool and warm LEDs, it modulates both outputs to attain the desired light level. By driving each output separately, the controller also has control over how cool or warm the fixture output becomes.
Characterized Color Tuning Characterized Color Tuning modulates the color temperature channel based on the set point value. As in the Automated Tuning Operation, a gateway command or outdoor color temperature sensor can be linked to the CCT set point channel and the output will adjust to this value based on the fixture's defined specifications.
Configuration Options The ELED2-BCL is a complete stand-alone lighting controller requiring only remote linked devices to provide input on light level, color temperature, and switch operation. In addition to blended LED operations, the controller will perform the following common lighting control applications: •...
1. Press and hold the [C lear] button on the controller. 2. Tap the [Learn] button: • Once to disable repeating • Twice to enable single-hop repeating • Three times to enable dual-hop repeating 3. Release the [C lear] button. The Power and Learn LEDs blink the corresponding number of [Learn] button presses.
Switch Operation The controller operates with single, dual-paddle wall, wave, and hand-held Echoflex switches as well as button station transmitters including the Multi-Button Interface (MBI) Switch Station.Garibaldi Pro software is required to configure all fade control settings. • Press [ON] to fade the lights to the last manually set dimming level. •...
RAYN product offerings are grounded in 45 years of advancements in lighting science, LED technology, and system-wide controls developed by our parent company, ETC. The ELED2-BCL is ideally suited to work with RAYN sensors, and is compatible with any photo sensor that supports EEP D2-14-56 or multisensor that supports EEP D2-14-5E.

When the lights are on, closed loop daylighting tries to maintain a given set point level within the space. This level is specified in the closed loop daylighting set point parameter. The controller only adjusts the dimming output on received photo sensor messages and only when the light is ON.
Open Loop Control A sensor's default setting (open loop or closed loop) depends on what it is linked to and the daylighting operating mode setting on the controller: automatic, open loop, or closed loop. In open loop daylighting, the sensor monitors the natural light contribution. The sensor must be mounted so it is not affected by the controlled fixture's light output.
To change the default setting: 1. Turn the light ON. 2. Tap the photo sensor [Teach] button three times to change the default. The light ramps up to full ON and then dims to OFF once. a. If you stop and exit the menu here (after three taps), the daylighting mode is set to closed loop.
User Interface Note: Garibaldi Pro software is the ideal tool to set up your project and configure settings, or even to make edits if your project has been pre-commissioned. Garibaldi Pro is available for download at echoflexsolutions.com. Power LED and Learn LED Learn Button See the relevant switch or sensor documentation for information on linking.
Remote Linking Solution Use the following method to link the first switch if you cannot access the [Learn] button on a controller that has not been pre-commissioned and you do not have Garibaldi Pro software. This method only works if there are no switches linked to the controller. You cannot link a scene station using this method.
