Echoflex Installation Guide
LED Fixture Controller

Overview

The ELED1 Fixture Controller provides wireless control of individual fixtures or single-zone lighting based on occupancy state, manual switch action, ambient light levels, and gateway commands.

This document covers the installation of the ELED1 LED Fixture Controller models. The Echoplex LED Fixture Controller ELED1(H) Configuration Guide is available for download at echoflexsolutions.com.
The package contents include the controller, installation guide, and mounting strap (for the ELED1-BUS model).

Prepare for Installation

Echoplex recommends paying special attention to the installation environment.

High-density construction materials and large metal appliances or fixtures in the space may disrupt wireless reception.
Mount the controller to an electrical junction box or a panel in a location and at a height where it is not subject to tampering by unauthorized personnel.
Supplies required to install the controller (not provided):
Appropriately sized wire nuts
Wire insulation
Small cable ties
Two 3/8 inch #8 metal screws (for surface mounting strap only)

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Risk of electric shock! This device utilizes high voltage and should only be installed by a qualified installer or electrician. Follow all local codes for installation. Before terminating the AC power wiring verify that the main breaker is in the off position and follow the proper lockout /tag-out procedures per NFPA Standard 70E.
WARNING: For indoor use only! Must install to an electrical junction box or wire way.

This product is suitable for use in dry locations where the ambient temperature is -10°C to +60°C (14°F to 140°F).
Do not use outdoors.
Do not mount near gas or electric heaters
Equipment should be mounted in locations and at heights where it is not subject to tampering by unauthorized personnel.
The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
Do not use this equipment for other than its intended use.
Servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel.
Pollution Degree: 2.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Installation

All local codes and standard electrical practices should be observed. Ensure that the junction box is clean and free of obstructions and that all wiring is installed correctly.
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.
Review these instructions completely before installing the controller.

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

Electrical Terminations
Power to the controller is connected between the White (Neutral) and the Black Line power (120–277 VAC). The Class 1 power-limited dimming lines (violet and gray wires) can be used to provide 0–10 V intensity control of a dimming ballast or LED driver. The orange wire is an antenna. Do not cut, cap or connect this wire. Use only UL-approved wire when making connections to the controller (see table below).

Connection	Color	Specification
Load	Red	14 AWG, 600 V
Neutral	White	14 AWG, 600 V
Line Blac	ne Black	14 AWG, 600 V
Dimming 0-10 V	Violet	18 AWG, 600 V
Dimming GND	Gray	18 AWG, 600 V

Controller Interface
The controller interface has two LEDs and two buttons.

LEDs

The Power LED (red) and Learn LED (green) indicate whether the controller is providing information via blink codes or is in an operational mode. See Blink Codes and Operations on page 7.
Learn Button
The [Learn] button initiates Link mode for linking switches or sensors to the controller. See the relevant switch or sensor documentation for information on linking. Link mode times out after 30 seconds of inactivity. Repeating the linking process for a device that is already linked to a controller will unlink it from that controller.

Clear Button
The [Clear] button resets the controller either to its pre-commissioned state or to its factory default state.
To reset to the pre-commissioned state:

Press the [Clear] button until the Power and Learn LEDs start blinking.
Release the [Clear] button. The Power LED blink codes to 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 Power and Learn LEDs start
blinking and continue to hold for 15 seconds until the LEDs turn solid.
Release the [Clear] button. The Power LED displays solid red to indicate the factory default state. All links are removed.

Test the Controller
Echoplex provides the controller in either a pre-commissioned state or a factory default state.

Pre-commissioned devices are linked, configured, and labeled according to customer specifications. When powered up, the Power
LED repeats a blink code to indicate the type and number of devices currently linked to the controller. See Blink Codes and Operations on page 7. To test the relay(s), press the [Learn] button or use a linked switch.
In the factory default state, when powered up, the Power LED displays solid red to indicate the controller has no linked devices. To test the relay(s), press the [Learn] button or link a switch. See relevant switch documentation.
A maximum of 20 switches or sensors can be linked to one controller.

Blink Codes and Operations
The tables below describe the controller’s LED blink codes and operating activity.
• If the controller is in factory default state, the Power LED remains solid On.
• If the controller has one or more devices linked to it, the Power LED repeats a code of blinks that represent the type and number of linked devices. Long blinks=type. Short blinks=count.
Blink Codes

Description	Power LED	Learn LED
Factory default	On solid	Off
Switch(es)	1 long blink followed by short blinks counting switches	Off
Occupancy sensor(s)	2 long blinks followed by short blinks counting sensors

Operations

Activity	Power LED	Learn LED	Relay/Light
Link mode	Blink	On solid	Toggle
Store link ID	On 4 seconds	On solid	On 4 seconds
Clear link ID	Off 4 seconds	On solid	Off 4 seconds
Factory default	On solid	One blink
(on power-up)	On solid
