11.1 General
Overview
The EC-200/EC-210 is a stand-alone controller that supplies full control over Events Master series devices.
The EC-50 is a wing-concept in the sense that it needs a host computer to work. Host computers specs should
follow the outline for the Event Master Toolset
“ Preferred ” spec.
The EC-30 is a compact version of the EC-series Event Master controller that is added to an existing Event
Master control computer as a USB peripheral. The EC-30 provides essential selections for sources, presets,
layers, and destinations.

Description
1. Connect the Host computer to the USB B connector on the EC-30. Necessary cables are provided in a new
system. In the case that the original cables are missing, simply use standard computer cabling to make
these connections.
2. Connect AC power to the power supply, and connect the power supply to the DC power receptacle on the
rear panel of the unit.
Running the power-supply cable through one of the strain-relief tabs on the rear of the unit can help to
keep the cable from pulling out of the DC power receptacle. Loosen the screw on a relief tab; run the
power-supply cable through the tab; tighten the screw.
You can consume extra cable length, if necessary, by passing the cable through both tabs.
3. Power up the EC-30 control panel, Host computer, and peripherals.
