SmartSwitch to Echo Relay Panel Feedthrough Retrofit Kit
Overview
An existing SmartSwitch can be converted to house the Power Control Processor Mk2 used in Echo
Relay Panel Feedthrough. This processor allows additional functionality such as DALI control,
contact input control, 0-10V control, and Ethernet network connectivity. This guide details the
installation of this retrofit kit into the 24- or 48-position SmartSwitch.
Adding a retrofit kit to a SmartSwitch Relay Panel changes the panel model. With the retrofit kit
installed, the panel becomes an Echo Relay Panel Feedthrough (ERP24-FT or ERP48-FT).

WARNING:
to the panel before working inside could result in serious injury or death.
AVERTISSEMENT :
panneau sans avoir déconnecté le courant peut entrainer des blessures graves,
voire mortelles.
De-energize main feed to the panel and follow appropriate Lockout/Tagout
procedures as mandated by NFPA 70E or local jurisdiction requirements. It is
important to note that electrical equipment such as breaker panels can present an
arc flash hazard if improperly serviced. This is due to the high amounts of short-
circuit current available on the electrical supply to this equipment. Any work must
comply with OSHA Safe Working Practices or local jurisdiction requirements.
