Install Guide

This guide covers all models of the ER6CD lighng controller. The box contents

includes the controller with lock nut and installaon guide.

Overview

The ER6CD controller is a 600 Wa dimming controller.

The model ER6CD-AU-120 is phase adapve and the model ER6CD-AU-277

provides reverse phase dimming control. They both provide dimming control

for line voltage tungsten lamps, 2-wire uorescent ballasts and line voltage

LED drivers. The ER6CD-AU-120 also controls 120V electronic low-voltage

transformer loads. Neither of these controllers can accommodate magnec, or

step-down transformer loads.

These controllers have a single channel dimming output and uses wireless

technology to monitor any rooms environment, eliminang much of the wiring

normally required for distributed lighng control. This translates into quick

installaons with less disrupon to occupants, allowing facilies to accelerate

retrot schedules and start saving money sooner.

The controller supports several methods of conguraon making it easy for

installers and facility operators to manage these sengs without extra tools

reducing call-backs and installaon expense.

The controller automacally adjusts lighng levels from received input from the

following wireless devices:

• ambient light levels monitored by a wireless photo sensor

• occupancy state monitored by a wireless occupancy sensor

• switch acon from a wireless wall switch

• gateway control implemenng scheduled or other events

Controller and Wall Switches

Echoex switches can also be used as dimmer switches – press and hold the ON or OFF

side of a linked switch to modulate the dimming output up or down.

The controller works with the wireless single and dual rocker switches. A switch ON

acon will ramp the dimming output to the last dimmed level set by a switch. If a photo

sensor is linked to the controller as well, the output ramps to full output over 2 seconds.

A quick double-press ON will ramp up to maximum output and accelerate the fade

period to ½ second. A press OFF acon will fade the lights down over 2 seconds. A quick

double-press OFF will accelerate the fade period to ½ second.

Controller and Timed Switches

The controller can be congured so the single and dual rocker switches become med

switches. An ON acon turns the lights ON and a mer is set to count down. Once the

mer expires, the lights fade to OFF.

The me period is congurable and has 5 sengs: no mer (default), 5 minutes, 15

minutes, 30 minutes and 1 hour. Addionally, if the user presses the rocker switch ON

mulple mes ( to a total of 5 presses), the mer interval is added for each ON press.

If ON is pressed while the lights are on and the mer is counng down, an addional

period of me is added to the mer total.

The controller will ramp the light output down then up (ick-warn) 1 minute before the

mer is due to expire to warn users of the pending OFF event.

The controller will turn the lights OFF when there is no moon detected in the room

indicated by a linked moon sensor. If the applicaon requires the lights to remain ON

during vacant periods but at a dimmed level (i.e. warehouse or stairwell applicaons), a

conguraon property accessible using Garibaldi soware can enable this feature.

Occupancy sensors only: When only occupancy sensors are linked to the controller, the

sensor will automate the lights both ON and OFF.

Occupancy sensors with switches: When switches and sensors are linked, the controller

will assume manual-ON, auto-OFF operaon referred to as Vacancy Sensor Mode.

The controller can also be congured to turn the lights ON immediately (Auto-ON) with

moon, see the secon tled “Conguring the Controller”.

Photo Inhibit: This feature requires a linked photo sensor. When Photo Inhibit is enabled,

the Auto-ON feature will be ignored when the natural light level measured by the light

sensor is above the day-lighng set point. The photo inhibit feature will not turn lights

OFF if the lights are ON.

The controller will modulate the light intensity from a dimming xture based on the

ambient light level in the room. A wireless photo sensor monitors light levels and must

be linked to the controller to provide the light level in the room.

The daylight control applicaon has several variables:

• Maximum dimming level - the highest level the dimming output will reach.

• Minimum dimming level - the lowest level the dimming output will reach.

• Lighng set point - the daylight control set point serves two purposes, closed loop

control and open loop control.

Seng the set point is covered later in this document under “Conguring the Controller”.

The daylight harvesng applicaon can override the Auto-ON feature of occupancy

sensors if the light level is sucient and calls for the lights to be o.

The daylight harvesng applicaon can be overridden by a manual wall switch when the

light is dimmed to o by clicking the switch on. If the light level remains above the Light-

OFF-Set point, the controller will turn the light o again aer 250 seconds.

The daylight harvesng applicaon does not aect the operaon of the wall switch or

moon sensor when the light is on. If the light is on, either the switch or moon sensor

can override the light o.

The “F series” controllers includes patent pending technology that works with all

Echoex sensors equipped with the range conrmaon feature to provide visual

feedback of a linked sensors signal strength for opmal sensor placement.

To evaluate the radio signal strength, the sensor must be also support the test and be

linked to the controller. Check the sensors documentaon to nd out if it supports radio

range conrmaon tesng. Do not have any repeaters in the controllers vicinity enabled

during the test.

The range conrmaon test is invoked at the sensor and sends unique telegrams to the

controller. The controller will evaluate the signal strength from the sensor and send back

a unique telegram containing the strongest signal value received. This value is displayed

at the sensor using color LEDs.

Consult the sensor installaon guide for more details.

The controller is intended for use with Echoex wireless sensors and switches.

Consideraon should be made for locang the controller based on the construcon

materials and furniture that may disrupt transmissions. Fire doors, elevator shas,

stairwells, storage areas and any large metal objects can create radio shadows and

disrupt wireless transmissions.

It is recommended that switches and sensors be placed within 75 feet (22m) of the

1. Restore power to the circuit. The dimmer will turn on to full output.

2. Test the circuit by linking a wireless switch (If factory pre-commissioning has been

ordered a switch may be linked before delivery). To link a switch:

a. Within radio range of the controller, press the switch paddle up (On) three mes

consecuvely.

b. Press the paddle down (O) three mes consecuvely.

c. Press the paddle up again, three mes consecuvely.

3. Test the controller response.

a. Press the switch down (O) once. The controlled lighng should respond by

The dimming mode for the ER6CD-AU-120 Phase Adapve Dimmer is detected

automacally by default. The dimming mode for the ER6CD-AU-277 is reverse phase by

default. At the device, you can change the dimming mode manually, entering forward

phase, reverse phase, or automac phase dimming.

1. Simultaneously, press and hold the “Learn” and “Clear” buons for ve seconds,

then release. The CLR/LRN and Status LEDs will begin to ash.

The LEDS indicate which dimming mode is acve.

• Both Green: Forward Phase dimming

• Both Red: Reverse Phase dimming

• If the dimmer is in Automac dimming mode, the Status LED will ash amber, and

the CLR/LRN LED will indicate the current mode with specic LED colors. (red is

Reverse Phase dimming mode and green is Forward Phase dimming mode).

2. To change the current mode, press and hold the “Learn” and “Clear” buons unl

Simple Tap uses the switches and sensors that are linked to the controller to set the

associated conguraon parameters. You must be able to access the sensors teach

buon and switches to perform the Simple Tap process.

If the sensor is linked to mulple controllers and you do not want to make changes to all,

turn the controllers relay o (lights o) to ignore the Simple Tap changes.

Simple Tap allows you to:

• Enable or disable the moon sensor Auto-ON feature

• Set the moon sensor Auto-OFF mer

• Select Daylight Harvesng or Photo Inhibit mode

• Set the Light ON/OFF dimming set points for closed loop or open loop
