ERDRC and Wall Switches

The  ERDRC  works  with  the  wireless  single  and  dual  rocker  wall  or  handheld 

switches. A switch ON action activates the relay closed (light’s on) and the OFF 

action opens the relay (light’s off). The switches can also be used as dimmer 

switches - press and hold the on or off side to modulate the dimming output up 

or down. When connected to a dimming ballast, the modulating output ramps 

the light intensity from the fixture.

ERDRC and Timed Switches

The ERDRC can be configured so the single and dual rocker switches become 

timed switches. An ON action closes the relay (light’s on) and a timer is set to 

count down. Once the timer expires, the relay opens (light’s off).
The time period is configurable and has 5 settings:
No timer (default), 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes and 1 hour. Additionally, if 

the user presses the wall switch ON multiple times ( to a total of 5 presses), the 

timer interval is added for each ON press. If ON is pressed while the light’s are 

on and the timer is counting down, an additional period of time is added to the 

timer total.
For example: if the timer setting is 1 hour and the user pressed the switch ON 

twice, the total timer period is 2 hours. If there is 30 minutes left on the timer 

and ON is pressed again, the timer is extended to 1 hour 30 minutes before the 

light’s will turn off.
The controller will toggle the relay (flick-warn) 45 seconds before the timer is 

due to expire to warn users of the pending OFF event
To configure, the time period, refer to the section on “Configuring the ERDRC”.

ERDRC and Daylight Harvesting Applications

The ERDRC controller will turn the lights on or off and will modulate the light 

intensity from a dimming ballast fixture based on the ambient light level in the 

room. An Echoflex light sensor monitors light levels and must be linked to the 

ERDRC controller to provide the light level in the room.
When connected to a dimming fixture, the maximum dimming set point is the 

point where the dimming output begins to dim the fixture as the natural light 

increases.  The  minimum  dimming  set  point  is  the  point  where  the  dimming 

output has reached its lowest point. 
When only on/off lighting applications is needed, the Light-ON-Set point is the 

light level at which the light will turn on; the Light-OFF-Set point is the light level
