Introduction The LED Fixture Controller is a fully configurable and complete stand-alone lighting controller designed to perform common lighting control applications based on input from wireless linked sensors and switches. Dimming control ELED1 ELED1 Nipple mount model Strap mount model Echoflex systems communicate by radio frequency in a point-to-point network and conform to an open standard.
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 dimming and switching 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 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 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. • Press [ON] to fade the lights to the last manually set dimming level. •...
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 or fades to a preset level. For information about coordinated control of a Open-Plan Shared Occupancy on page 8 space, see Occupancy Sensor Auto-OFF Timer...
Photo Inhibit The photo inhibit feature is not controlled by enabling a setting, rather, it is naturally enabled when an occupancy sensor is being used for Partial-On functionality and a photo sensor is added to the system. See Occupancy Sensors and Partial-ON on page 1. The photo sensor inhibits the Partial-On behavior when the natural light level is above a specified threshold, the lights ON set point.
To set the Partial-OFF value and enable/disable automatic Partial-OFF : 1. Use a linked switch or station to set the light ON and dim to the target Partial-OFF value. 2. Press the [Teach] button on the sensor, and then use a linked switch or station to do one of the following: •...
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 When dimming output is enabled, the controller modulates light intensity from a dimming fixture based on the ambient light level in the space. The controller can also be configured to turn the lights off when sufficient natural light is detected by a linked photo sensor. Note: The controller supports only one linked photo sensor.
Closed Loop Control In closed loop daylighting, the sensor indirectly monitors the controlled light output from the fixtures plus some of the natural light contribution. Note: For closed loop control to function properly, the sensor must be installed in a location where it is significantly affected by light level changes.
Open Loop Control A sensor's default setting (open loop or closed loop) depends on what it is linked to and the controller's daylighting operating mode setting: 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.

High Range: generally greenhouse and industrial sensors • D2-14-56 (Light Intensity, CCT and PPFD Sensor) • D2-14-5E (Greenhouse Sensor) Note: Low Range is the default for the Photo Sensor (TAP-31). Mid Range is the default for both the Open Loop CCT Sensor (FLS-41) and the CCT Photo Sensor (TAP- 41).
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.
