Overview
The Multi-Scene station (MSS) uses wireless technology to communicate
with compatible Echoflex lighting controllers to create light intensity and
color temperature scenes. The MSS is available in different button
configurations, radio frequencies, and colors. Each station can be linked to
one or more controllers to manage multiple circuits from one station. Each
button is labelled for its function and color LEDs indicate working status.
This document guides you through the installation process and basic setup
for all MSS models.
Prepare for Installation
Echoflex recommends paying special attention to the installation
environment:
• For indoor use only. Operating temperature -10°C to 45°C (14°F to
113°F), 5% to 92% relative humidity (non-condensing).
• The station should be installed in the same space as the device that
controls its light fixtures or circuits.
• High density construction materials and large metal appliances or
fixtures in the space may disrupt wireless transmissions.
• CR2032 coin cell battery is supplied with the station. Install the
battery or activate it if factory-installed by removing the protective
plastic tab in the battery housing. See Battery Power on page 3.

Installation
Use hand tools when installing. Over-torquing with a screw gun can
damage the station. Three different mounting options are available:
• Flush mounted to a firm surface with screws and wall anchors
(not supplied).On a mud ring using the provided back support
plate.
• Over a line voltage device box with a UL approved barrier
(available from Echoflex, order part number 8188K1001-5 or
8188K1002-5).
1: Insert a flatblade screwdriver into the slot at the bottom and pry
carefully to remove the faceplate.
2: Mount the station according to the option you selected.
3: Replace the faceplate by aligning it over the notch on the lower edge.
Press above and below the buttons until you hear two clicks.
4: Press the buttons on and off to test. The green LED blinks each time
to indicate a transmitted message.
Link to a Controller
The target Echoflex controllers or receivers must
be installed, powered, and within range of the
station. Each station can be linked to one or more
controllers.The following process also can be
used to unlink the station.
1: Press the [Learn] button to activate Link
mode at each target controller. If
necessary, refer to the related product
documentation.
2: Press the [Teach] button to link the
station to the target controllers.
3: Deactivate Link mode at each target
controller.
4: Test the operation by pressing the buttons
on and off.
Note:
If the test fails, check the battery or run Range
Confirmation on page 4 to confirm adequate signal
strength.

Battery Power
A CR2032 is supplied with the station. The battery may be factory installed
or packed separately according to shipping regulations. Insert the battery if
required or remove the protective plastic tab before installing the station.
During normal operation, if the green LED blinks once, the battery is strong
and a message was sent. If the red LED blinks once, the battery is weak but
the message was sent. If critically low, the red LED blinks three times and
cannot transmit. If the red LED blinks once every minute the battery must be
replaced. To replace the battery:
1: Remove the faceplate, and then unscrew the station from its
mounting location, and slide off the battery cover.
2: Insert a flatblade screwdriver under the battery clip and gently pry it
free.
3: Press the On button for 10 seconds to discharge any stored energy.
4: Insert the new battery into the clip with the positive side (+) up and
press down. If successful, an LED chase sequence will run three times.
Tests and Settings
The [Test] button provides access to a menu of tests and settings.
Operational and navigational feedback is provided via the color LEDs. The
menu times out after two minutes. To access the menu:
1: Remove the faceplate to access the [Test] button.
2: Press and hold the [Test] button until all the LEDs blink.
3: Tap the [Test] button to cycle through the menu (see table below).
4: Press and hold for five seconds to select based on the LED blink.
Disregard any other LEDs that blink; they are for factory use only.
Reboot
The LEDs will run a chase sequence three times to confirm successful reboot.

Range Confirmation
The Range Confirmation test displays the strength of the signal transmitted
to the linked controller. The station should be linked to only one controller.
While the test is running, all the LEDs will blink quickly. When the station
receives a range confirmation message from the linked controller, signal
strength status is displayed for two seconds (see table below). The result
repeats every ten seconds and runs for three minutes.
Compliance
Note:
Disable all repeaters within range before running the
test. See the controller documentation to disable the
repeater feature.
