echoflex ELED2 Wireless Lighting Controller

Overview

The ELED2 Controller provides wireless lighting control of light intensity and correlated color temperature (CCT). The controller includes two 0-10 V outputs and is available in models intended for general lighting and for horticultural applications.
The Tunable White Dimming Controller models control light intensity and color temperature levels for general lighting applications, whether for a single compatible fixture or an entire zone. It also supports external set point input from a
gateway or outdoor CCT sensor.
Available in regular and high-voltage.
The Bicolor Luminaire Controller modulates light intensity and blends cool and warm LEDs to provide the desired CCT output for horticultural applications.
This document covers installation of all ELED2 models. The configuration guide for general lighting applications, models ELED2 and ELED2H, is available for download at echoflexsolutions.com. The configuration guide for the horticultural lighting applications, model ELED2-BCHL, is available for download at rayngrowingsystems.com.

Prepare for Installation

To ensure optimal function, consider the installation environment and the following guidelines:

  • Avoid spaces with high density construction materials and large metal appliances or fixtures as they may disrupt wireless reception.

  • For optimal performance, switches and sensors should be installed within a 24 m (80 ft) unobstructed view of the controller.

  • Mount the controller to an electrical junction box (preferably non-metallic) or a panel in a location and at a height where it is not subject to tampering by unauthorized personnel.

  • Do not install clusters of Echo flex controllers in one location.
    Rather, distribute them in the lighting zones they control to provide the best wireless reception from linked transmitting devices. Consider adding a repeater to extend the signal, if required.

  • Make sure the antenna wire is unrestricted and not in contact with any metal surface.
    Supplies required to install the controller (not provided):

  • Appropriately sized wire nuts

  • Wire insulation and small cable ties

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 required by NFPA Standard 70E.
WARNING : For indoor use only! Must install to an electrical junction box or wireway.

  • This product is suitable for use in dry locations where the ambient temperature is -5°C to 50°C (23°F to 122°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

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 the Controller
The controller can be mounted directly to the exterior of the junction box or panel either at the electrical load or before the load in the circuit.

  1. Locate the circuit breaker panel and terminate power to the circuit.
  2. Remove the cover plate and other hardware from the junction box to access the wiring.
  3. Mount the controller.
  4. Refer to the Wiring Diagrams 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.
  5. Replace the electrical box cover plate and restore power to the circuit.

Note : The 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 Neutral (white) and the Line (black) power conductors. The Class 1 power limited low voltage lines are used for fixtures with separate inputs for intensity and CCT control (general lighting), or fixtures with separate warm and cool LED color temperature channels (horticulture). 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.

Connection Wire Color Specification
Load Red 14 AWG, 600 V
Neutral White 14 AWG, 600 V
Line (hot) Black 14 AWG, 600 V
Dimming 0–10 V (general lighting) Warm LED (horticultural) Violet/red 18

AWG, 600 V
Analog color control (general lighting) Cool LED (horticultural)| Violet/green| 18 AWG, 600 V
Dimming COM| Gray| 18 AWG, 600 V

User Interface

Note : Garibaldi Pro software is the ideal tool to manage wireless projects and configurable settings. Garibaldi Pro is available for download at echoflexsolutions.com.
Two buttons on the controller activate features and set specific configurations directly on the device. Two related status LEDs 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.

  1. Ensure you are within wireless range of the controller and have a wireless paddle switch or a button station.
    a. If the controller has a linked sensor, you must press the [Teach] button on the sensor and complete step 2 within 60 seconds.

  2. 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
Use the [C lear] button to reset the controller either to its pre-commissioned state or to its factory default state.
To reset to pre-commissioned state:

  1. Press and hold the [Clear] button until the red Power and green Learn LEDs start blinking.
  2. Release the [Clear] button. The LEDs repeat a blink code by color to indicate the type and number of devices linked to each channel at pre-commissioning.

To reset to factory default state:

  1. 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.
  2. Release the [Clear] button. The Power LED displays solid red to indicates factory default state.

Test the Controller

Echoflex 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, the red Power LED repeats a blink code to indicate the type and number of devices currently linked to the controller. When powered, the Power LED repeats a blink code by color to indicate the type and number of devices currently linked to each channel.To test, press the [Learn] button or use a linked switch.
  • In factory default state, when powered, the Power LED displays solid red to indicate the controller has no linked devices. To test, 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.
