Echoflex Solutions Installation Guide
SmartSpace Controller–Gen 2
Prepare for Installation
The SmartSpace Controller–Gen 2 is designed for mounting directly to an
electrical junction box or panel (provided by others) at the electrical lighting
load, upstream of the load in the circuit.
Note: If your installation requires Class 2 wiring to be installed in
separate conduit, a voltage barrier installation box is available from
Echoflex Solutions. Order Echoflex Solutions part number 7187A1000.
EchoConnect Control Wiring
The SmartSpace Controller–Gen 2 connects to the EchoConnect station
communication bus for control. EchoConnect is a bidirectional protocol that
uses one pair of wires (data+ and data-) for both data and power. Echoflex
Solutions recommends using Belden 8471 (or approved equal) Class 2 wire.
The total combined length of an EchoConnect wire run (using Belden 8471, or
equal) may not exceed 500m (1,640ft).
Note: All control wiring should be installed and terminated by a
qualified installer and should follow standard wiring installation practices.
Leave approximately 20cm (8in) of wiring in the back box for connection
and to allow slack for future service needs.
Note: Echoflex Solutions requires that all Elaho stations and devices be
grounded for ESDprotection. Pull an additional 2.5 mm2(14AWG) wire
for grounding when control wires are not installed in grounded metal
conduit.

Assign Zones and Spaces
Rotary
switches
You can assign zones and spaces using
the two rotary switches on the side panel
of the controller.
The Dual Zone controller assigns two
zones by using the Zone switch setting as
the first zone assignment and then
automatically assigning the next
consecutive zone number for the second
zone.
By default, these switches are set to
Zone1, Space 1. Control inputs from the
connected stations, sensors, and other
controls are shared by all devices within a
space.
1. Set the Zone rotary switch to the
desired Zone address for this
controller.
Note: For the Dual Zone model only, do not set the Zone switch setting
to a number higher than 15. If set to 16, both circuits in the controller will
be assigned to and controlled on Zone16.
2. Set the Space rotary switch to the desired Space for this controller.
Power Up and Test
1. Restore power to the circuit. The SmartSpace Controller–Gen 2 will
power up and turn on all connected loads to full output.
2. Test the circuit by activating the associated Elaho station preset or by
changing the zone intensity control.
3. Test the controller response. Use station controls to alter preset or
zone status, and ensure that the SmartSpace Controller–Gen 2
responds.
Power-Up Behavior
In the event of a power loss to the SmartSpace Controller–Gen 2, the
controller will return to its last output level when power is restored.
