Event Master Series Controller Installation: System Connection, startup and shut down
Start Up order —The EC-210 has a very uncomplicated start up to the user. The two
screens have a Barco Logo that will light up and disappear when the EC-210 activates
the screen controller. Once the EC-210 starts, screens will show a brief moment of white
text on black and then show the controller menu page on the left screen and the
configuration page on the right screen.
Communications Setup —Connected processors should show up in in the left side of
the Configuration menu page. If there is no processor listed the Communication Setup
Tab should be checked for settings.
Startup state of the desk —Once the EC-210 is connected and started it will retrieve
the configuration of the connected processor. If there is no configuration it will have to
be assigned.

Indications
If the Blue LED´s of the Destination buttons chase
back and forth they indicate that the communication
with the host controller is not established. For EC-210
this does not happen unless there is a failure.
Blue LEDs in Destination
Shutting down the desk —To shut down the EC-210, either press the Power button, or
select the power-off soft button (just above the Save button) on the menu navigation bar in
the GUI.
Barco recommends the soft power-off. See the “How to Power down the EC-200/EC-210”
section in the Event Master Devices User’s Guide.
Before shutting down the EC-210—or simply powering off the desk with the power switch,
press the Save icon and make a backup of the show. EC controllers are meant to be able to
lose power without any problem for the user, but it is always best to back up the show
before shutdown.
