Echo Preset Station Installation

Overview

Echo preset stations are used to activate built-in presets in compatible power control products.

Stations mount using a standard single-

gang back box (RACO 690 or equivalent),

or an optional surface mount backbox (ETC part number 7081A2004-1). Station faceplates and buttons are available in cream, ivory, grey, black and signal white.

Preset stations are provided with station electronics, buttons, faceplate, a termination kit, and installation hardware.

Installation Requirements

Preset station wiring uses (1) Belden 8471 and (1) 2.5mm2 (14 AWG) ESD ground wire. Wiring is topology-free and may be bus, star, loop, home run or any combination of these. Data wiring is limited to a total of 1640 feet (500 meters).

NEC Class 2 product to be wired in accordance to NEC Article 725 and local jurisdiction requirements.

N o t e :	ETC requires that all stations be grounded by using grounded metal
	conduit or a 14 AWG ESD drain wire. All control wiring should be
	installed and terminated by a qualified installer and should follow
	standard wiring installation practices.

Setting Station Functionality

Before installing, you must first assign an address to the station and, if desired, adjust the station’s functionality. Address is set using the two numbered wheels on the rear of the station. Functionality is set using the DIP switches found just below the numbered wheels. The label on the rear of the station identifies these components and functions.

Setting the Address and Space

Station address is defined by the two numbered wheels found on the back of the station. The top address wheel defines the station address (1-16).

Echo Preset Station Installation

The bottom wheel defines the space which the station will control (also 1-16).

C A U T I O N :	Each station must have its station address set to a unique number (1-
	16) for the space it controls. If two or more stations use the same
	address for the same space, the system will not function properly.

Step 1:	Set the space wheel to the appropriate number (1 thru 16) for the
	space you want the station to control.
Step 2:	Set the address wheel to a unique number (1 thru 16) for the space.
N o t e :	Total number of preset stations is limited by the power supply at the
	host product. Refer to the host product documentation for the limits
	specific to your system.

Setting Station Functionality

The bank of DIP switches found on the rear of the station can be set to alter station functionality. Using a micro-tool you can slide the DIP switches up (On) to activate them or down (Off) to deactivate. They are set to “OFF” by default. The DIP switches have the following designations:

•DIP switch 1: “Use Off” - When set to on (up), the last button on the station is set as an “OFF” command for the space. When set to off (down) the button will activate a preset.

•DIP switch 2: “Custom Config” - for future development.

•DIP switch 3: “Disable IR Input” - When on (up), the infrared input for this station will be disabled.

•DIP switch 8: “Restore Defaults”- When on (up), a “restore defaults at boot” function is activated. Factory defaults can then be restored by:

a:disconnecting power from the station, then

b:reconnecting power to the station, then

c:resetting the DIP switch to down. This will prevent losing the configuration in the event of a power loss.

All other DIP switches are unused.

Installing the Preset Station

Install Back Box

Step 1: Mount the back box using appropriate hardware for the surface you are mounting to.

Step 2: Run conduit and wiring as required by the installation drawings. Step 3: Leave a service loop of approximately 10” (254mm) of wiring in the

backbox.

a:Locate the data pigtail and two WAGO LeverLock connectors found in the termination kit.

b:	Strip 3/8” (9-10mm) from the	Station power	Ground
	ends of each wire (both pigtail	pigtail	pigtail
	and installed data wire).
c:	Open the terminal levers on
	the WAGO connector and
	insert the Belden 8471 black		WAGO
	(-) lead wire and the black (-)
	lead from the pigtail into the
	terminals.
d:	Close the levers onto the
	wires, securing the
	connection between the two.

e:Repeat this process for the Belden 8471 white (+) wire and remaining white (+) pigtail wire using another WAGO connector.

f:Attach the connector onto the

preset station data connector.

Terminate the ESD drain (ground) wire. a: Locate the ground pigtail and one WAGO LeverLock connector from

the termination kit.

b: Strip 3/8” (9-10mm) from the end of the ground wire and ground pigtail.

c: Open the terminal levers on the connector and insert the installed (typically green/yellow) ESD drain

(ground) wire and the green/yellow lead from the pigtail into the terminals.

d:Close the levers onto the wires, securing the connection between the two.
