Introduction The Power Load Controller is a wireless lighting controller for electronic ballasts and LED drivers. It also provides a motor load specification to deliver process control for circuit or fan/curtain control applications, eliminating long wire runs. With the ELEDR or ELEDRH, high- voltage model, you can integrate lighting and automation control into one distributed wireless device.
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. This document uses the following conventions to draw your attention to important information. Configuration parameters are emphasized in italics . Switch actions (ON/OFF) and dimmer events (lights ON/OFF) are emphasized in ALL CAPS.
Configuration Options The controller provides lighting control using input received from compatible Echoflex devices. It operates based on: • Ambient light levels monitored by a wireless photo sensor • Occupancy state monitored by a wireless occupancy sensor • Switch action from a wireless wall or keycard switch •...
Status Message The controller can broadcast a message per EEP: A5-11-01 Status Feedback Message. A message broadcasts every 100 seconds. The status message can be enabled/disabled using Simple Tap instructions. 1. Press and hold the [Learn] button on the controller. 2.
Switch Operation The controller operates ON and OFF with single, dual-paddle wall, wave, and hand-held Echoflex switches as well as button station transmitters including the Multi-Button Interface Switch Station (MBI). Garibaldi Pro software is required to configure all fade control settings. Multi-Scene Station Buttons The layout of buttons for the Multi-Scene Station (MSS) differs according to the MSS model.
Occupancy-Based Lighting Applications When occupancy sensors that are 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. For information about coordinated control of a space, see Open-Plan Shared Occupancy on page 8 Occupancy Sensor Auto-OFF Timer...
Grace Timer The occupancy sensor grace timer is a short period of time during which the controller returns the lights to the previous occupied state if triggered by motion, or audio in the case of Dual Tech sensors. The grace timer starts counting down after the occupancy Auto-OFF timer has expired, providing a time period for an undetected occupant to signal that the space is occupied.
Occupancy Sensors with Switches If switches and sensors are linked to the controller, Vacancy Sensor Mode (Manual-ON, Auto- OFF) is active. The controller can be configured to turn the lights ON immediately when a sensor detects motion (Auto-ON). When a switch is pressed ON or OFF, the occupancy sensor's Auto-OFF timer resets the state to occupied, which allows the lights to stay OFF when they are switched OFF (for example, a slide show presentation).

Note: To reset a controller's shared occupancy ID to the default, zero (0), you can delete the shared occupancy ID field in Garibaldi Pro. To restore the default manually, you must reset the controller. See Clear Button on page 1. Identify one controller to send the shared occupancy ID. 2.
Hospitality Applications Hospitality is a specific kind of occupancy-based control. When the controller is used in a hotel or dormitory setting, it is typically linked to a keycard switch station or to both an entry door sensor and an occupancy sensor. Example: When an occupant enters a room and inserts a keycard into the keycard switch station an occupancy message is sent to its linked controllers to power the...
Daylight Harvesting Applications The controller turns the lights ON or OFF based on a set point and the ambient light level in the room when a photo sensor is linked to the controller. When the controller is configured for daylight harvesting, the set point is where the light turns ON. The default set point to turn the light OFF is 20% of the sensor's full range greater than the light ON set point.
Change Sensor Settings To set the photo relay ON and relay OFF set points using Simple Tap, a photo sensor must be linked to the controller. You can use the photo sensor's current light level reading to set the values, or select values from the table. To use the current sensor reading: 1.
Controller Presets Preset values are used to determine the dimming intensity and color temperature of different lighting scenes that are part of a designed solution made up of connected devices. A scene is a coordinated combination of controllers configured and grouped to light a space according to specific requirements.
User Interface Note: Echoflex recommends using Garibaldi Pro software to manage wireless projects and configurable settings. Garibaldi Pro is available for download at echoflexsolutions.com. Two buttons on the controller activate features and set specific configurations directly on the device. Two related status LEDs provide feedback about stored information and activities. Power LED and Learn LED The Power LED (red) and Learn LED (green) indicate the controller's device count information via blink codes or the status for other activities.
Clear Button Use the [Clear] button to reset the controller either to its pre-commissioned state or to its factory default state. To reset to pre-commissioned state: 1. Press and hold the [Clear] button until the red Power and green Learn LEDs start blinking.
Blink Indications The following tables describe the LED codes that identify linked devices and the LED indications that describe linking activities. Device Count Codes The following codes provide a visible report of the supported devices that are linked to the controller.
