4 Echo TimeClock Configuration Manual
Specification
Ambient Environment
For indoor, commercial controls use only. Operating temperature 0-40°C,
5-95° non-condensing humidity.
Compliance
• UL and cUL LISTED
• CE marked
• Meets California Title 24
• Meets ASHRAE-90.1
Electrical Requirements
The E-ATC ships with a termination kit for the required terminations. This kit
contains a 24 Vdc auxiliary power pigtail, EchoConnect™ bus pigtail, ESD
ground wire pigtail, spacers, and all required wire termination connectors
for installation.
The E-ATC requires external power provided to the unit by an auxiliary 24
Vdc (Class II) power supply and EchoConnect which supports data and
control to the EchoConnect station communication bus.
Note:
Installation should follow all local codes and standard electrical
practices.
Note:
NEC Class 2 products are to be wired in accordance with NEC
Article 725 and local jurisdiction requirements. All power and
control wiring should be installed and terminated by a qualified
installer and should follow standard wiring installation practices.

1Specification 5
24 Vdc
Requires two 16 AWG (1.5mm2) wires (typically a black and red wire pair),
which terminate to a provided 24 Vdc auxiliary power pigtail. WAGO®cage
clamp connectors are provided.
The 24 Vdc auxiliary power pigtail is connectorized for installation to the
two position receptacle on the rear side of the E-ATC.
EchoConnect
The E-ATC requires EchoConnect, Belden 8471 (or equivalent) plus one ESD
ground wire, supporting data and control to the EchoConnect station
communication bus.
An EchoConnect bus pigtail and ESD ground wire pigtail are provided as
well as the required WAGO cage clamp connectors to make the
terminations from the building wire to the pigtails.
The EchoConnect bus pigtail is connectorized for installation to the two
position receptacle on the rear side of the E-ATC. The ESD ground wire
pigtail has a spade terminal for installation to the receptacle on the E-ATC,
near the EchoConnect bus connection.
Note:
Category 5 (Cat5) wiring is supported for the EchoConnect
station communication bus with some limitations. Reference the
ETC Cat5 Cable Preparation Setup Guide for more details. ETC
documentation is available for download at
www.etcconnect.com.

6 Echo TimeClock Configuration Manual
Mounting Requirements
The E-ATC is capable of flush or surface mounting for installation in any
location with conditions meeting the ambient environment requirements
listed on the previous page.
Alternatively, the E-ATC can be integrated into a Echo Room Controller.
Flush
Flush mount the E-ATC to an industry standard 2 gang back box, not
provided. The back box should be installed plum and square for best results.
Ensure that the back box is clean and free of obstructions and that all wiring
is installed correctly.
Surface
A surface mounted back box is available, sold separately, from ETC.
Echo Room Controller
ETC offers the Echo Room Controller with integrated Echo Astronomical
TimeClock. Reference the Echo Room Controller Installation and
Configuration Manual information regarding wire terminations in this
installation scenario.
