SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Installation

Ensure that the junction box is clean and free of obstructions and that all wiring is installed correctly. Review these instructions completely before installing the controller.

Note: Follow applicable NEC and local electrical code requirements when installing and powering the controller.

Install ELED1 with Nipple

Mount the controller directly to the exterior of the junction box or panel either at the electrical load or before the load in the circuit.

Locate the circuit breaker panel and terminate power to the circuit.
Remove the cover plate and other hardware from the junction box to access the wiring.
Mount the controller.
Refer to the Wiring Diagram on the next page to connect the controller to line power, neutral, and load wires. Use wire nuts on all connections and individually cap any bare wires, except the orange antenna wire.
Connect the gray and the violet wires to the driver or ballast’s dimming interface (optional).
Replace the electrical box cover plate and restore power to the circuit.

Install ELED1 with Mounting Strap

Mount the controller to the exterior of a lighting fixture or appliance using the supplied mounting strap.

Note: Mounting inside a fixture or other metal cabinet will reduce radio range performance.

Locate the circuit breaker panel and terminate power to the circuit.
Slide the mounting strap over the controller housing with the orange antenna wire facing up. Hold the controller in place. The tooled strap prevents the controller from sliding out.
Use a power drill to drive a 3/8 inch #8 screw through one of the bracket’s mounting holes into the fixture. Repeat for the other mounting hole.
Refer to the wiring diagram to connect the controller to line power, neutral, and load wires. Use wire nuts on all connections and individually cap any bare wires, except the orange antenna wire.
Ensure the antenna wire is not close to any metal surface (for example: the lighting fixture metal housing).
Connect the gray and the violet wires to the driver or ballast’s dimming interface (optional).
Restore power to the circuit.

Note: The USB port is for factory use only. Do not attach cables or accessories to this port.

User Interface

Note: Garibaldi Pro software is the ideal tool to set up your project and configure settings, or even to make edits if your project has been pre-commissioned. Garibaldi Pro is available for download at echoflexsolutions.com.

wo buttons on the controller can be used to activate features and set specific configurations directly on the device. Two LEDs beside the buttons provide feedback about stored information and activities.

Learn Button

The [Learn] button initiates Link mode for manually linking compatible Echoflex devices to the controller. See the relevant switch or sensor documentation for information on linking. Link mode times out after 60 seconds of inactivity.

Devices can be linked to a controller manually, using Garibaldi Pro, or during the Echoflex pre-commissioning process.

Remote Linking Solution

Use the following method to link the first switch if you cannot access the [Learn] button on a controller that has not been pre-commissioned and you do not have Garibaldi Pro software.

This method only works if there are no switches linked to the controller. You cannot link a scene station using this method.

Ensure you are within wireless range of the controller and have a wireless paddle switch.
- If the controller has a linked sensor, you must press the [Teach] button on the sensor and complete step 2 within 60 seconds.
Click the switch paddle ON three times, OFF three times, and ON three times quickly, for a total of nine consecutive clicks. The relay will toggle and the Power LED will indicate the switch is linked.

Clear Button

The [Clear] button can be used to reset the controller either to its pre commissioned state or to its factory default state.

To reset to pre-commissioned state:

Press and hold the [Clear] button until the red Power and green Learn LEDs start blinking.
Release the [Clear] button. The Power LED blink codes indicate the type and count of devices linked at pre-commissioning.

To reset to factory default state:

Press and hold the [Clear] button until the red Power and green Learn
LEDs start blinking, and continue to hold for 15 seconds until the
LEDs stay on solid.
Release the [Clear] button. The Power LED displays solid red to indicates factory default state.

Blink Indications

The tables below 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 devices that are linked to the controller. The Power LED repeats a code of blinks that represent the type and number of linked devices. Long blinks = type. Short blinks = count. If the controller does not have any linked devices, the Power LED remains on solid.

Device Type	Power LED	Learn LED
