devices.

Prepare for Installation

EchoTouch ships with the touchscreen, a mounting collar, and an installation
termination kit. It is designed for installation into a US standard three-gang
deep flush mount back box (sold separately) or a surface mount back box (ETC
part number 7186A1116-4).

The EchoTouch controller includes the following installation parts and
supplies:

(1) 5-position screw terminal connector - J3228-F
(1) 3-position screw terminal connector - J30193-F
(1) 3-position Cat5 insulation displacement connector - J30187-F
(3) cable ties for DMX out cable preparation
Heat shrink - various sizes and lengths for DMX out cable preparation
Receptacle spacers
Mounting screws – (4) 6-32x3/4” and (4) 6-32x1 3/4”
ESD Ground pigtail (2-wires with spade terminal)
(1) 3-position WAGO 221 Series LEVER-NUTS

EchoTouch features:

64 Presets shared across the Echo
control system

EchoTouch Controller

Specifications

Ambient Environment

For indoor use only.

32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C) operating temperatures in 0–95% non­condensing humidity.

Compliance

UL and cUL listed
Conforms to EN 62368-1 (Part 1 Safety Requirements)
CE listed
FCC compliant

Electrical and Auxiliary Wiring Specification

EchoTouch is powered by either Auxiliary power or by Power over
Ethernet (PoE 802.3af).

Note: This product is intended for use with a Listed power source (LPS)

marked “Class 2", or LPS rated 24 VDC, minimum 0.59 A, or 48 VDC
(PoE), minimum 0.234 A.

Au xi liary Power - 24 VDC auxiliary power requires two 16 AWG

(1.5 mm2) wires and terminates to the provided removable pluggable
connector. The unit draws 400 mA (typical) during normal operation,
with a maximum of 750 mA draw.

Po wer over Eth ernet - PoE requires Category 5 cable or approved

equal with an RJ45 (Category 5 compliant) connector. EchoTouch
includes an RJ45 receptacle on the back panel for connection of PoE.
As required, separately order an Ethernet Cat5 Termination Kit from
ETC (order part number 4101A2003) which includes building wire
termination supplies, instructions, and an Ethernet patch cable.

Note: PoE and all interconnected information technology equipment

(ITE) are intended for intra-building connection.

Note: When both 24 VDC auxiliary power and PoE are connected to

EchoTouch, auxiliary power will be the preferred input.

EchoTouch requires an ESD Ground wire regardless of installation of
grounded metal conduit.

ESD Ground - requires one 14 AWG (2.5 mm

utilizes the provided ESD ground wire pigtail and 3-position WAGO
221 Series LEVER-NUTS®provided in the installation termination kit.

Control Wiring Specification

EchoTouch can be used with the Echo control system using EchoConnect, and
provides 512 channels of DMX out, and 512 channels of sACN out to a
networked system.

Note: Know the intent of use for this controller in your installation. All

terminations may not be required.

Control Type -

Preferred Wire

EchoCon nect using
Belden 8471 (or
equivalent)

DMX out using
Belden 9729 (or
equivalent)

DMX out using
Category 5 (or higher)

sACN out using
Ethernet network

Notes

EchoConnect isa bidirectional protocol that uses onepair of wires
(data+ and data-). The total combined length of an EchoConnect wire
run (usingrecommended Belden 8471) may not exceed
1,640 feet (500 m).

When using Category5 (or equivalent) cable on the EchoConnect
communication bus, please note that not all topologies are supported.
Careful planning is required to ensure the proper termination and the
wire is pulled appropriately. Refer to the installation guidethat is
provided with the Cat5 Station Termination Kit (7186A1207) for
information to terminate Cat5 wiring.

DMX is installed in a daisy chain topology and includes one pair of wires
(data+ and data-, plus common). The maximum recommendedlength
of the wire run is 1,600’ (487 m). Cablepreparation is required before
termination.

DMX can optionally useCategory 5 cablefollowing the ANSI standard
E1.27-2 (data+and data-, plus common), terminated to T-568B
scheme.

sACN control is over a network using an Ethernet connection to a
gateway or network switch. Asrequired, or der an Ethernet Cat5
Termination Kit (ETCpart number 4101A2003) which includes building
wire termination supplies, instructions, and an Ethernet patch cable.

Note: Wiring should only be installed and terminated by a qualified

technician and should follow standard wiring installation practices. Leave
approximately 8" (20 cm) of wiring in the back box for connection and to
allow slack for future service needs.

Note: EchoTouch must be mounted to a vertical surface.

Install the Mounting Collar

EchoTouch installs to a 3-gang deep back box, to the EchoTouch surface
mount back box, or to an EchoTouch Rack-mount kit.

Listed 3-gang deep back box (by others) - in accordance with NEC and
local electrical codes.
EchoTouch Surface-mount back box available from ETC (order part
number 7186A1116-4). If using a surface-mount back box by others, it
must be in accordance with NEC and local electrical codes.
