Overview
Echo™ Inspire stations provide preset, zone, and space combine controls for
use with Unison Echo control systems. Stations are available in 1, 2, 4, 6, and
8 button assemblies, and a 4 button 1 fader station.
Station buttons are backlit by both blue and amber LEDs. The 4 button station
fader knob is backlit with a blue LED.
Prepare for Installation
Inspire stations ship with station electronics, a decorator style wall plate,
termination kit, and a template of standard button labels. The station may be
installed into an industry standard back box (provided by others) or surface
mounted back box (sold separately and available from ETC).
Inspire stations connect to the EchoConnect station communication bus.
EchoConnect is a bidirectional protocol that uses one pair of wires (data+ and
data-) for both data and power. ETC recommends using Belden 8471 (or
approved equal) Class II wire. The total combined length of an EchoConnect
wire run (using Belden 8471, or equal) may not exceed 1,640 feet (500m).
Environmental
•
Indoor installation - 0-50deg C, 5-95% non-condensing humidity
N o t e :
All control wiring should be installed and terminated by a qualified
installer and should follow standard wiring installation practices.
Leave approximately 10 inches (254mm) of wiring in the back box
for connection and to allow slack for future service needs.
N o t e :
ETC requires that all stations be grounded. Pull an additional 14
AWG (1.5mm
2
) wire for grounding when control wires are not
installed in grounded metal conduit.
