F series
This guide covers the "F" series of the Dimming Controller, model numbers
ERDRC-FDU-120/277 for input voltages of 120 or 277VAC and ERDRC-
FDU-120/347 for input voltages of 120 or 347VAC. Both models are equipped
with a 902 MHz radio.
The box contents includes the controller with lock nut and installation guide.
Product Overview
The ERDRC-FDU controller is intended for indoor use only.
The Dimming Controller uses wireless technology to monitor any room's
environment, eliminating much of the wiring normally required for
distributed lighting control. This translates into quick installations with less
disruption to occupants, allowing facilities to accelerate retrofit schedules
and start saving money sooner. The controller has patented Smart Click
and Simple Tap technology which allows installers and facility operators to
manage configuration settings without any tools, reducing call-backs and
installation expense.

  • Page 1 ERDRC-FD imming ontroller F series This guide covers the “F” series of the Dimming Controller, model numbers ERDRC-FDU-120/277 for input voltages of 120 or 277VAC and ERDRC- FDU-120/347 for input voltages of 120 or 347VAC. Both models are equipped with a 902 MHz radio.

  • Page 2: Controller Operation

    OFF action will fade the lights down and then open the relay (lights off). A quick double-press OFF will accelerate the fade period to ½ second. Echoflex switches can also be used as dimmer switches – press and hold the on or off side to modulate the dimming output up or down.
  • Page 3 The controller will toggle the relay (flick-warn) 1 minute before the timer is due to expire to warn users of the pending OFF event. To configure, the time period, refer to the section on ”Configuring the Controller”. Occupancy Based Lighting Applications The controller will turn the lights OFF when there is no motion detected in the room indicated by a linked motion sensor.
  • Page 4 Mount the wireless light sensor so it is facing downwards and monitoring reflected natural light. The Echoflex light sensor has two ranges; 0-500 lux (0-50 foot-candles) and 0-1024 lux (0-100 foot-candles). The lighting set point default value is 60% of the sensors Full Scale Range (FSR).

  • Page 5: Important Safety Instructions

    See the section on Occupancy Based Lighting Application - Photo-inhibit for alternative functionality. Radio Range Confirmation The “F series” controllers includes patent pending technology that works with all Echoflex sensors equipped with the range confirmation feature to provide visual feedback of a linked sensors signal strength for optimal sensor placement.

  • Page 6: Wiring Instructions

    5. Replace the junction box faceplate. 6. Restore power to the circuit. 7. Refer to the section in this guide titled LEARN Button to assign a switch to the controller. Alternatively, refer to the Smart Click instructions for assigning switches remotely. Controller Wiring Diagram Line Voltage choose either Black 120V line power or Commercial Voltage (Brown - 277V on model ERDRC-FDU-120/277) or (Yellow - 347V on model ERDRC-FDU-120/347)

  • Page 7: Clear Button

    1. Press the button marked LEARN for a half second. In link mode the LEARN LED will stay ON and the POWER LED will toggle every 2 second. 2. Using the switch that will be linked to the controller, press the wall switch ON three times.
  • Page 8 There are three methods of configuring parameters in the controller. 1. Simple Tap 2. Smart Click 3. Garibaldi Commissioning Software (not covered in this guide) Simple Tap Instructions Simple Tap uses the switches and sensors that are linked to the controller to set the associated configuration parameters.
  • Page 9 of this guide titled Occupancy Based Lighting Applications – Photo Inhibit and Daylight Harvesting Application. A light sensor and wall switch must be linked to the controller before proceeding. 1. Press the photo sensors TEACH button once followed by clicking the switch ON three times within 5 seconds.

  • Page 11 installed on a lighting circuit. The switch used to configure a controller using Smart Click should only be linked to the controller you’re configuring. Add an additional switch if necessary. 1. Using a linked switch (see above), turn the light OFF. 2.
  • Page 12 status can be shared with other controllers. The controller must be first linked with the receiving controllers. Enabling the status telegram activates the shared occupancy feature and also sends the learn command to the other controllers for linking. The status telegram can be enabled/disabled by accessing the controller buttons.
  • Page 13 ON, if disabled the light will be OFF. 3. Click ON to activate this function, OFF to deactivate. 4. Exit Smart Click by pressing OFF for 5 seconds. Level 7 - Dimming Ballast Output -Enables or disables the dimming ballast output.
  • Page 14 Control Response with Dimming Output Enabled In the diagram below, the blue line indicates the dimming output. The output will begin lowering as the natural light level increases (green line). The point where the light output begins dimming down is the lighting set point (default 60% sensor FSR).
