Echoflex Installation Guide
Dual Tech Occupancy Sensor
Wire Specification
The Dual Tech Occupancy Sensor connects 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_
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.
Note:
When using Category 5 (or equivalent) cable on the
EchoConnect communication bus, please note the following:
•
Cat5 wiring must be terminated using EchoConnect Cat5
Termination Kit and must be installed using a bus topology.
Refer to the installation guide that is provided with the Cat5
Termination Kit (8186A1207) for information to terminate
Cat5 wiring.
•
Not all topologies are supported using Cat5; careful planning
is required to ensure the proper termination kits are available
and the wire is pulled appropriately.
