Overview
The Echo Dual Tech Switch-mount Occupancy Sensor is a switch station with
a built-in sensor that uses passive infrared (PIR) and acoustic detection to
provide reliable occupancy and vacancy sensing for lighting control.
Each button is backlit by both blue and amber LEDs to show changes in
status. The sensor provides a 180 degree field of view with up to 45 feet
(13.7 m) radius for large motion detection.

Prepare for Installation
Echo Switch-mount Occupancy Sensors ship with electronics, a decorator
style wall plate, and a termination kit. The sensor may be installed into an
industry standard back box (provided by others) or surface mounted back box
(sold separately and available from ETC).
Compliance
• UL/cUL listed, complies with UL508A, UL916, and CSA C22.2
• CE compliant
For use with ETC dimming and relay products.
Environment
Ambient
For indoor, commercial controls use only. Indoor installation only. The sensor
operates in ambient temperatures of -10°C to 40°C, with a maximum of
90% non-condensing humidity.
Installation
ETC recommends paying special attention to the installation environment:
• When operating in PIR only modes, the sensor must have an
unobstructed view of the room. Do not mount behind or near tall
cabinets, shelves, hanging light fixtures, etc.
• Do not install the sensor within eight feet from an HVAC airflow duct/
vent.
• Install the sensor where it cannot easily sense movement in areas
outside of the intended space, such as hallways, glass partitions, or
adjacent rooms.
Control Wire Specification
Switch-mount Occupancy Sensors connect to the EchoConnect™
communication bus. EchoConnect is a bidirectional protocol that uses one
pair of wires (data + and data -) for both data and power. ETC 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 1,641 feet (500 m).
Note:
In areas of increased noise activity, enabling PIR only
mode may allow for better vacancy detection results.

Parts and Supplies
The following parts and supplies are included with the sensor:
• mounting screws
• EchoConnect termination kit
• WAGO connectors (wire termination connectors)
• decorator style wall plate
Note:
All control wiring should be installed and terminated by
a qualified installer and should follow standard wiring
installation practices.
Leave approximately 10 inches (254 mm) of wiring in the
switch box for connection to allow slack for future
service needs.
Note:
ETC requires that all sensors be grounded. Pull an
additional 14 AWG (2.5 mm
2
) wire for grounding when
control wires are not installed in grounded metal
conduit.
Note:
When using Category5 (or equivalent) cable on the
EchoConnect communication bus, please note the
following:
• Cat5 wiring must be terminated using EchoConnect Cat5
Termination Kits and must be installed using a bus
topology. Refer to the installation guide that is provided
with the Cat5 Termination Kit (7186A1207) for
information to terminate Cat5 wiring.
• Not all topologies are supported using Cat5; careful
planning is required to ensure the proper termination kits
are available and the wire is pulled appropriately.

Installation
Installation should follow all local codes and standard electrical practices.
The switch box should be installed plumb and square for best results. Ensure
that the switch box is clean and free of obstructions and that all wiring is
installed correctly.
Switch-mount Occupancy Sensors ship with a termination kit for use with
Belden 8471 (or equivalent wire), and include power and ground wire
pigtails, spacers, and all required wire termination connectors for installation.
Connect the Wiring
1: Pull all required wiring (data+, data-) into the installed switch box. As
needed, pull an additional ESD ground wire (required when the sensor
wiring is not installed in grounded metal conduit).
2: Connect sensor ESD ground wire pigtail.
a: Strip 3/8” (9-10 mm) of insulation from the ends of the sensor
ground wire pigtail, provided in the termination kit, and the
incoming ground wire.
b: Use one WAGO connector, provided in the termination kit, to
connect the sensor ESD ground pigtail and the incoming ground.
For sensors using grounded metal conduit, connect the ground
pigtail to the metal switch box ground location.
c: Install the ESD ground wire pigtail Faston connector to the spade
terminal on the sensor electronics.
3: Terminate and connect EchoConnect wires. EchoConnect is topology
free, you may install the wires in any combination of bus, star, loop, or
home-run.
a: Strip 3/8” (9-10 mm) from the ends of each power pigtail wire,
provided in the termination kit, and the installed control wires.
b: Use the provided WAGO connectors to connect the power pigtail
wires and the installed Belden 8471 control wires. One WAGO
should be used for the white wire pair (data +) and one for the
black wire pair (data -). For each wire, open the terminal levers on
the WAGO connector and insert the installed Belden 8471 wire
and the lead from the power pigtail into the terminals, then close

If using spacers, insert the screws through the spacers as well.
Install the Wall Plate
The wall plate is secured to the station with built-in magnets.
CAUTION:
To improve successful station and wall plate installation, do
not over tighten the screws. If screws are over tightened,
button activation can be negatively impacted.
Note:
When installing a multi-gang wall plate and the stations
are misaligned in the mounting box, the wall plate will
not attach properly. Loosen the screws that secure the
station to the box, adjust each station to improve the
alignment, secure the screws, then retry wall plate
installation.
1: Align the top of the wall plate to the
station and angle the bottom
approximately 20 degrees.
2: Hook the top of the wall plate to the
tabs located on the station electronics
assembly. To ensure the wall plate is
hooked properly on the top hook,
wiggle it slightly side to side.
3: Swing the bottom of the wall plate
down until the magnets engage.
4: If the wall plate does not fully attach
automatically, wiggle the bottom of the
plate until all of the magnets are seated
properly to the station and the plate is
secure.

Power Up and Test
Power Up
All EchoConnect terminations in the system must be made before applying
power to the system and sensor. When the sensor is powered up, the PIR and
acoustic detection LEDs illuminate for one minute for calibration and warm-
up, and then return to normal operation according to the configuration.
Both the PIR and acoustic detection features of the sensor will automatically
adjust sensitivity threshold to eliminate nuisance tripping. During this time,
sensor configuration is not allowed and no events are triggered.
Dual Technology Detection
When both PIR and acoustic detection are used, the following logic is
followed:
• When the space is vacant, PIR detection and manual control can switch
the state to occupied.
• When the space is occupied, PIR, acoustic detection, and manual
control can reset the vacancy timeout.
• When occupancy in the space has only been triggered by acoustic
detection for 60 minutes, acoustic detection is disabled until the next
PIR detection event.
PIR (only) Detection
When acoustic detection is disabled (DIP switch 6 set to On), the following
logic is used:
• When the space is vacant, PIR detection and manual control can switch
the state to occupied.
• When the space is occupied, PIR detection and manual control can
reset the vacancy timeout.
