EchoConnect The E-ATC requires EchoConnect. EchoConnect is a bi-directional protocol that uses one pair of wires (data + and data -) for both data and power. Echoflex Solutions recommends using Belden 8471 Class 2 wire (or approved equal - see the Echoflex Solutions cable cross database echoflexsolutions.com/files/Elaho_Data_Cable_Wire_Specs for equal alternatives).
Mounting Requirements The E-ATC is capable of flush or surface mounting for installation in any location with conditions meeting the ambient environment requirements listed in Ambient Environment on page 4 Alternatively, the E-ATC can be integrated into an Elaho Room Controller. Flush Flush mount the E-ATC to an industry standard two-gang back box, not provided.
Elaho Control System Elaho control system utilizes the EchoConnect bus for communication, allowing Elaho enabled products to interact. An Elaho control system is limited to 16 Elaho control products and 16 Elaho output products. If more Elaho products are required in a system, an Elaho Expansion Bridge may be added to the system.

2. Connect station ESD ground wire pigtail. a. Strip 11 mm (7/16”) of insulation from the ends of the station ground wire pigtail, provided in the termination kit, and the incoming ground wire. ® b. Use one WAGO 221 Series LEVER-NUTS provided in the termination kit to connect the station ESD ground pigtail and the incoming ground.
Install the E-ATC into the Back Box Receptacle spacers are provided to help align the station and cover flush against the wall in flush mount applications. The spacers are not required when installing the station into a surface mount back box. 1.
Install the Faceplate The faceplate is secured to the station with built-in magnets. 1. Align the top of the faceplate to the station and angle the bottom approximately 20 degrees. 2. Hook the top of the faceplate to the tabs located on the electronics assembly.
User Interface Overview Keypad The user interface has an easy to use menu- navigation keypad that includes [UP], [DOWN], [BACK], and [ENTER] buttons. The [RECALL PRESET] and [HOLD] buttons are provided for everyday time clock operation. Pressing [UP], [DOWN], or [ENTER] will activate the main menu. Pressing the [RECALL PRESET] or [HOLD] buttons wakes the display and invokes the respective timeclock function.
Hold A Hold triggers an override to one or more scheduled events, allowing manual lighting control to persist. When a hold is active, regularly scheduled events are ignored and “-Schedule on Hold -” is displayed for the affected space. When an active hold is cleared, the originally scheduled event is restored. Without an active hold condition any manual lighting control will be replaced by the next scheduled event that occurs.
The display indicates the affected space with a Timed Hold enabled. Both the space number and the time remaining are shown. If additional spaces have a Timed Hold enabled, the display will cycle through all spaces at two second intervals. Lighting Timeclock Lighting Timeclock Lighting Timeclock...
