Echoflex Installation Guide
Elaho Preset Station
Preset Stations connect to the EchoConnect communication bus.
EchoConnect is a bi-directional protocol that uses one pair of wires
(data+ and data–) for both data and power. Echoflex recommends using
Belden 8471 Class 2 wire (or approved equal – see the Echoflex cable
cross database
echoflexsolutions.com/files/Elaho_Data_Cable_Wire_
for equal alternatives). The total combined length of an
EchoConnect wire run using Belden 8471 may not exceed 500 m
(1,640 ft), with a maximum distance of 400 m (1,312 ft) between any two
devices.
Note:
All control wiring should be installed and terminated by a
qualified installer and should follow standard wiring installation
practices. Leave approximately 25.4 cm (10 in) of wiring in the
back box for connection and to allow slack for future service
needs.
Note:
Echoflex requires that all stations and devices be grounded
for ESD protection. Pull an additional 2.5 mm
2
(14 AWG) wire for
grounding when control wires are not installed in grounded metal
conduit.
Environmental
For indoor installation only; 0°C–50°C (32°F–122°F), 5%-95% non-

Rotary and DIP Switches
Rotary and DIP switch settings are accessible on the
back side of the station.
Set Space and Address
The Preset Station participates in an Elaho system using
the configured Space and Address, which are selectable
using the two rotary switches on the back of the
station. Each station must be set to a unique station
address for the assigned space.
