Setting Target Lux using a Photo Sensor

Using the photo sensor that is linked to the EEI wireless input, tap the photo sensor’s teach button 3 times 
to set the target lux. When the EEI receives this command, the INPUT STATUS LED for the associated 
wireless input will blink once, and then four more times when the new target lux has been recorded.

Output Status

The OUTPUT STATUS LEDs display information about the currently selected wireless output.

When a wireless output is selected in normal operation, it's current output level displays on the OUTPUT 
STATUS LED’s. The level indicated is the highest dimming (control) level detected for all Echoflex controllers 
that are currently linked to the selected Echoflex output. All levels, between 0 and 100% are indicated with 
a LED indicator.

For example:

• No LED’s indicate the current output level is 0% or that there are no Echoflex controllers associated 

with the selected Echoflex Output.

• 5 green LED’s indicate the current output level is 50%.
• 10 green LED’s indicate the current output level is 100%.

System

Wireless Inputs

The four wireless inputs on the EEI convert Echoflex control inputs into Unison Echo control system actions. 
Linking of Echoflex controls such as stations and sensors allows control of Echo presets.

Wireless inputs can be configured to recall a specific preset which is configured using Program Mode. See 

Program Mode on page 11

. By default, the four wireless inputs are configured for Presets 1 through Preset 

4, respectively.

Each wireless input allows linking of multiple Echoflex devices of the same matching type to share control 
of the individual input. This allows multiple stations or sensors to be able to trigger the same input.

Wireless Outputs

The four wireless outputs on the EEI can be linked to Echoflex power control devices for combined control 
with Echo zones. Each of the four outputs available are individually dimmable output circuits that 
correspond to Echo zones within the selected Space.

Note:

When no Echoflex devices are linked to an Input, the [ON] and [OFF] buttons will behave 

like a wireless Switch Station. The INPUT STATUS LED will also reflect use of the local [ON] 

and [Off] buttons as green and red respectively.

Note:

The EEI supports a maximum of 35 Echoflex wireless devices.
