General Wiring Recommendations
Risk of Electric Shock: Turn off power before any kind of servicing to avoid electric shock.
£Comply with all network and power supply guidelines outlined in the Network Guide.
£Use the screws, wall anchors, and wire nuts included for wall mounting and wiring.
£All wiring must comply with electrical wiring diagrams as well as national and local electrical codes.
£We recommend using Cat5e cable to connect the Allure UNITOUCH to the controller.
£For an easier installation, a flat style Cat5e cable with a low profile connector is recommended. See Distech Controls Field Device product offerings
for more information.
General Installation Requirements
For proper installation and subsequent operation of the device, pay special attention to the following recommendations:
£Allow for proper clearance around the device’s enclosure and wiring terminals to provide easy access for hardware configuration and maintenance.
£Orient the device with the ventilation slots towards the top to permit proper heat dissipation.
£The device is designed to operate under the following environmental conditions:
– Operating temperature from
– Storage temperature from
– Relative humidity from 0% to 90%, non-condensing.
Any type of modification to any Distech Controls product will void the product’s warranty
£Upon unpacking, inspect the contents of the carton for shipping damages. Do not install a damaged device.
£Ensure proper ventilation of the device and avoid areas where corroding, deteriorating or explosive vapors, fumes or gases may be present.
Make wiring connections to the device last. Pulling the cable while it is connected can damage the connector.

Mounting Instructions
The Allure UNITOUCH has been specially designed for easy installation. However, certain conditions apply when choosing a suitable location for the de-
vice:
£Install the device in a location of average temperature and approximately 1.5 m (5 ft) above the floor
£The device should be installed approximately 15cm (6”) from a corner to provide sufficient access to the faceplate release tabs.
£The device should not be installed on an exterior wall.
£The device should not be installed near a heat source.
£The device should not be installed near an air discharge grill.
£The device should not be installed in a place where it can be affected by the sun.
£Install the device in an area that provides proper device ventilation. Nothing must restrain air circulation to the device.
The Allure UNITOUCH has not been designed for outdoor use.
Mounting hardware with a separate sub-base is provided with the device for installation on drywall or on an electrical junction box.
Electrical Junction Box Installation Procedure
The Allure UNITOUCH sensor can be mounted in most American, European or Asian style electrical junction box using screws.
1. Remove the front cover of the device:
– Remove the security screw
– Using an appropriately sized tool, press in the two (2) release tabs on the sides of the device and pull the front cover out from the bottom. See
Figure 2 [pg.3] for security screw and release tab locations.
2. Pull all cables 15cm (6”) out of the wall and insert them through the central hole of the back plate.
3. Ensure the EOL jumpers are correctly set and that the protocol toggle is in the SUBNET (default) position. See Figure 3 [pg.3] for jumper and dip
switch component locations.
4. Make sure that the mounting surface is flat and clean.
5. Screw the back plate onto the electrical junction box.
6. Plug the wire(s) into the connector(s). Gently push excess wiring back into the wall.
7. Reattach the front plate and make sure it clips tightly into place. Tighten the security screw.
Wall Mounting Installation Procedure

About an Allure UNITOUCH Equipped with a CO₂ Sensor
The Allure UNITOUCH equipped with a CO2 sensor are factory calibrated to accurately read CO2 concentration levels.
Under normal conditions, an Allure UNITOUCH equipped with CO2 sensor will typically reach its operational accuracy
after 25 hours of continuous operation on the condition that it was exposed to ambient air reference levels of 400
ppm ±10 ppm CO2.
Bluetooth Connection Modes
The Allure UNITOUCH supports several Bluetooth communication modes. Please refer to the Xpress
Network Utility or ECLYPSE user guide for more
details on how to change this mode.
Mode Description
Commissioning Bluetooth connection is used for commissioning the device. This option is the factory default mode (default PIN code
999995) and has short range for commissioning purposes only.
Disabled Bluetooth connection is disabled and does not allow any wireless connections to the device.
Open Bluetooth connection is open and is not authenticated with a PIN code. We recommend this option for rooms or areas that
are accessible to anyone.
Private Bluetooth connection is authenticated with a six (6) digit PIN code. When this mode is selected, you will be prompted to
change the PIN code as the default PIN code is not allowed while using Private mode. We recommend this option for private
rooms and areas.
Subnet Information and Communications Wiring
The Allure UNITOUCH is only compatible with ECLYPSE Series controllers, namely the ECY-TU/PTU, ECY-VAV, ECY-303, and ECY-CSC. Subnet ca-
ble length is limited to 100m (328ft) between the controller and the last device on the subnet for all Bluetooth low energy devices. This maximum subnet
length must be respected to ensure the proper functioning of all devices.
If the UNITOUCH is the last device on the subnetwork, its EOL termination must be set to ON. All other subnetwork devices must have their EOL termi-
nations set to OFF.
The ECLYPSE User Guide provides extensive information and requirements to implement this subnetwork. It contains information about network length,
cable type, addressing, etc. It can be downloaded from the Distech Controls website.
If you make your own patch cable, use Category 5e cable crimped with RJ-45 connectors either as T568A or T568B.
Do not crimp one connector as T568A and crimp the other connector as T568B on the same cable.

Maximum Allure UNITOUCH Devices on the Subnet
£Maximum of two (2) UNITOUCH devices regardless of the model.

Subnet ID
If there are several devices being used on the same subnet, each device must be configured to have a unique subnet ID. The subnet ID can be changed
directly on screen from the UNITOUCH’s subnet ID configuration menu.
5 different Subnet ID codifications are used on the subnetwork :
£1 for Allure UNITOUCH™ sensors and EC-Multi-Sensor-BLE sensors
£1 for Allure EC-Smart-Vue sensors
£1 for Allure EC-Smart-Comfort and Allure EC-Smart-Air sensors
£1 for EC-Multi-Sensors
£1 for ECx-Light/Blind expansion modules
Consequently, for example, the same Subnet ID can be assigned to an ECx-Light/Blind module, to an EC-Multi-Sensor and to an Allure EC-
Smart-Vue sensor without any addressing issue.
Bluetooth Low Energy Smart Room Control Subnetwork
The Allure UNITOUCH can be freely combined in a daisy chain configuration.
BACnet/IP
Subnetwork: Cat 5e Cable with RJ-45 Connectors
100 m (328 ft) Maximum Length
A mixed architecture with standard room devices and Bluetooth low energy enabled devices is not recommended.
Changing the Subnet ID
Each device on the subnet requires a unique subnet ID. If a connected device’s subnet ID does not match its programmed ID, or if two or more devices
have the same subnet ID, there will be a communication error. A communication error screen will be displayed and you will be prompted to enter the de-
fault password (9995) to access the subnet ID settings.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Gently clean the device with a soft, lint-free cloth slightly moistened with a solution of mild liquid dish soap and warm water or disinfect the device with a
soft cloth slightly moistened with a 70% isopropyl alcohol.
Do not directly spray any liquid or disinfecting solution on the device. Do not clean with any other chemicals products.
Disposal
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive set out regulations for the recycling and disposal of products. The WEEE2002/96/EG
