Installaon Guide
This guide covers all Echoex switch models.
The Echoex switch models include:
PTM265n* Single Decorator style wireless switch
PTM265Dn* Dual Decorator style wireless switch
ETRS1n# Single Resonate Wave style switch
ETRS2n# Dual Resonate Wave style switch
ETRH1nW Single Resonate Handheld switch
ETRH2nW Dual Resonate Handheld switch
PTM265KCAnW Keycard Acvated switch
The character n is replaced with U for 902MHz, Y for 868MHz, C for 315MHz and
J for 928 MHz radios. The character * is replaced with W for white, B for black, A
for almond, V for ivory and R for brown; # available in W - white or B - black only
The package includes the switch and installaon guide. Note - cover plates for
Decorator style switches are not included (can be ordered separately); Resonate

The wireless switches communicate with controllers to acvate the controllers
internal relay. In most applicaons, the controller’s relay is connected to a
lighng load or circuit and the wireless switch funcons as a basic light switch.
The switches requires no wiring connecons and use no baeries. The kinec
energy of a nger press with the ON or OFF side of the switch generates enough
energy to transmit the switch event.
Some models have 4 buons or dual paddles, these operate idencally to the
single paddle switches. With dual switch models, each switch is separate from
the other and can be assigned to the same controller or a dierent controller.

Careful consideraon should be made for locang the controllers and switches
based on the construcon materials in the space and possibility of tenant’s
furniture disrupng the transmissions. The switch should be installed in the
space where the controller device is controlling the light xtures or circuits

1. Remove the faceplate screws and faceplate assembly (includes front cover
and insert with key depression tag).
2. There are four (4) mounng holes in the rear mounng plate to aach the
switch to a wall surface with screws and wall anchors (not supplied).

3. Reinstall the faceplate assembly. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE SCREWS.
4. Test operaon of the switch by inserng a card and extracng. There
should be an audible click with each inseron and extracon.

The linking process requires the controller or receiver to be mounted, powered
and within range of the switch to be linked. Each receiver can support up to 20-
30 switches, depending on the receiver model.
1. Acvate LEARN or LINK mode at the receiver, if necessary refer to the
manufacturers documentaon.
2. Wall and hand held switches: triple click  quickly. Key card switches:
insert a room card into the switch three (3) mes quickly.
3. Deacvate LEARN mode at the receiver. Test operaon of the switch by
switching ON and OFF .

• Avoid transming down a length of wall, this reduces signal strength.
• Avoid transmissions that must penetrate walls at acute angles. This
increases the wall material the telegram must pass through, greatly
reducing the signal power
• Avoid large obstrucons. Place receivers in alternate locaons to avoid the
radio shadow or use repeaters to go around the obstacle.
Do not locate receivers close to other high frequency transmiers. Leave at
least 2’ between the receiver and any other source of interference including,
computers, video equipment, Wi-Fi/LAN routers, GSM modems and
monitors. Transmiers are not aected by these sources of interference.

The radio signal is aenuated by the materials that it passes through. Dense
materials require more power to pass a radio signal consuming more of the
signal strength and reducing the signal range. Refer to the table to idenfy how
the building materials will impact the wireless signals.
