Overview
High voltage
model shown
The Power Load Controller ELEDR(H) is
used to switch circuits for lighting,
motor, receptacle, or general purpose
loads. It receives input from linked
wireless devices or gateways based on
switch stations, room occupancy state,
ambient light levels, scheduled events,
and network commands. The ELEDR(H)
can also provide process control for
circuit or fan control applications,
eliminating long wire runs.
This document covers installation of all
ELEDR(H) models. The Echoflex Power
Load Controller ELEDR Configuration
Guide is available for download at echoflexsolutions.com.
The product package includes the controller and the installation guide.
Prepare for Installation
To ensure optimal function, consider the installation environment and the
following guidelines:
•
Avoid spaces with high density construction materials and large
metal appliances or fixtures as they may disrupt wireless reception.
•
For optimal performance, switches and sensors should be installed
within a 24 m (80 ft) unobstructed view of the controller. Consider
adding a repeater to extend the wireless signal, if required.
•
Mount the controller to an electrical junction box (preferably
non-metallic) or a panel in a location and at a height where it is not
subject to tampering by unauthorized personnel.
•
Make sure the antenna wire is unrestricted and not in contact with
any metal surface.
Supplies required to install the controller (not provided):
•
Appropriately sized wire nuts
•
Wire insulation
•
Small cable ties

Installation
Ensure that the junction box is clean and free of obstructions and that all
wiring is installed correctly. Review these instructions completely before
installing the controller.
Note: Follow applicable NEC and local electrical code
requirements when installing and powering the controller.
Install the Controller
The controller can be mounted directly to the exterior of the junction box
or panel either at the electrical load or before the load in the circuit.
1. Locate the circuit breaker panel and terminate power to the circuit.
2. Remove the cover plate and other hardware from the junction box to
access the wiring.
3. Mount the controller.
4. Refer to the Wiring Diagram below to connect the controller to line
power, neutral, and load wires. Use wire nuts on all connections and
individually cap any bare wires, except the orange antenna wire.
5. Replace the electrical box cover plate and restore power to the circuit.
Note: The USB port is for factory use only. Do not attach cables or
accessories to this port.

Electrical Terminations
Power to the controller is connected between the Neutral (white) and the
Line (black) power conductors: ELEDR (120-277 VAC) or ELEDRH (240–
347VAC). The orange wire is an antenna: Do not cut, cap, or connect this
wire. Use only UL-approved wire when making connections to the
controller.

Load Red 14AWG, 600V
Neutral White 14AWG, 600V
Line (hot) Black 14AWG, 600V
User Interface
Note: Garibaldi Pro software is the ideal tool to set up your
project and configure settings, or even to make edits if your
project has been pre-commissioned. Garibaldi Pro is available for
download at echoflexsolutions.com.
Two buttons on the controller activate features and set specific
configurations directly on the device. Two related status LEDs provide
feedback about stored information and activities.
Learn Button
The [Learn] button initiates Link mode for manually linking compatible
Echoflex devices to the controller. See the relevant switch or sensor
documentation for information on linking. Link mode times out after
60seconds of inactivity.
Devices can be linked to a controller manually, using Garibaldi Pro, or
during the Echoflex pre-commissioning process.
Remote Linking Solution
Use the following method to link the first switch if you cannot access the
[Learn] button on a controller that has not been pre-commissioned and
you do not have Garibaldi Pro software.
This method only works if there are no switches linked to the controller.
You cannot link a scene station using this method.
1. Ensure you are within wireless range of the controller and have a
wireless paddle switch.
a. If the controller has a linked sensor, you must press the [Teach]
button on the sensor and complete step 2 within 60 seconds.

2. Click the switch paddle ON three times, OFF three times, and ON
three times quickly, for a total of nine consecutive clicks. The relay
will toggle and the Power LED will indicate the switch is linked.
Clear Button
Use the [Clear] button to reset the controller either to its pre-
commissioned state or to its factory default state.
To reset to pre-commissioned state:
1. Press and hold the [Clear] button until the red Power and green Learn
LEDs start blinking.
2. Release the [Clear] button. The Power LED blink codes indicate the
type and count of devices linked at pre-commissioning.
To reset to factory default state:
1. Press and hold the [Clear] button until the red Power and green Learn
LEDs start blinking, and continue to hold for 15 seconds until the
LEDs stay on solid.
2. Release the [Clear] button. The Power LED displays solid red to
indicates factory default state.
Blink Indications
The following tables describe the LED codes that identify linked devices
and the LED indications that describe linking activities.
Device Count Codes
The following codes provide a visible report of the supported devices that
are linked to the controller. The Power LED repeats a code of blinks that
represent the type and number of linked devices. Long blinks = type.
Short blinks = count. If the controller does not have any linked devices,
the Power LED remains on solid.

Test the Controller
Echoflex provides the controller in either a pre-commissioned state or a
factory default state.
•
Pre-commissioned devices are linked, configured, and labeled
according to customer specifications. When powered up, the red
Power LED repeats a blink code to indicate the type and number of
devices currently linked to the controller. To test, press the [Learn]
button or use a linked switch.
•
In factory default state, when powered up, the Power LED displays
solid red to indicate the controller has no linked devices. To test,
press the [Learn] button or link a switch. See relevant switch
documentation.
A maximum of 20 switches or sensors can be linked to one controller.
