Introduction The Tunable White Dimming Controller is a wireless lighting controller designed for spaces/areas where intensity and correlated color temperature (CCT) control are required. The ELED2 controller creates a range of desired lighting effects based on occupancy state, manual switch action, ambient light levels, and timeclock or gateway commands for a single LED fixture or 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 Dim-to-Warm Dim-to-Warm operates if at least one switch station is linked to the intensity channel and nothing is linked to the color temperature channel. Color temperature moves according to the change in light intensity. An increase in intensity also moves color temperature to cooler. A decrease in intensity moves color temperature to warmer.
Configuration Options The ELED2(H) is a complete stand-alone lighting controller requiring only remote linked devices to provide input on light level, color temperature, occupancy state and switch operation. In addition to the tunable white color 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.
• Press and hold [ON] to fade to the maximum dimming level. • Press and hold [OFF] to fade to the minimum dimming level. If a photo sensor is linked to the dimming channel it will have control priority over manually dimming the output towards the maximum output value.
Occupancy-Based Lighting Applications When occupancy sensors linked to the controller do not detect motion, they send a vacancy message to the controller. After the occupancy Auto-OFF timer expires, the controller turns the lights OFF or fades to a preset level. For information about coordinated control of a space, Open-Plan Shared Occupancy on page Occupancy Sensor Auto-OFF Timer The occupancy Auto-OFF timer is set to 15 minutes by default.
Photo Inhibit The photo inhibit feature requires a linked photo sensor and an occupancy sensor with Partial-ON enabled. See Occupancy Sensors and Partial-ON below. When photo inhibit is enabled, the Partial-ON feature is ignored when the natural light level measured by the photo sensor is above the lights ON set point.
Open-Plan Shared Occupancy The open-plan shared occupancy feature provides energy saving control over large open spaces that have been segmented into zones to comply with local energy code requirements. It allows connected lighting controllers to share the occupancy state of the zone they control. Only after all the controllers in the space report a vacant state are the lights turned off at the same time.
3. Press and hold the [C lear] button and then press the [Learn] button four times on the sending controller. The controller sends a shared occupancy ID for controllers in Link mode to receive and record. Alternatively, if the project is set up in Garibaldi Pro, you can copy the sending controller's shared occupancy ID field to each of the controllers in the space.
Daylight Harvesting Applications The controller modulates light intensity from a dimming fixture based on the ambient light level in the space when a photo sensor is linked to the dimming channel. When daylighting is active, a switch, gateway command, or occupancy sensor cannot force the light level higher. However, a switch, occupancy sensor, or gateway command can override the light OFF or dim to a level below the daylighting control value.

To set the closed loop set point: 1. Turn the light ON. 2. Use a handheld photometer to measure the light on the task plane. 3. Use a linked switch to adjust the fixture's light level until it matches the target light level and give the sensor a moment to register the level.
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. Two buttons on the controller activate features and set specific configurations directly on the device.
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.
