The WTC must be linked to the target lighting controllers to create lighting 
effects using scheduled Events and Scenes. Recommended steps:

• Configure TimeClock defaults, see 

TimeClock Settings

 on 

page 16

.

• Identify and Link the target controllers, see 

Link or UnLink

 on 

page 21

.

• Determine the Groups required for the space you want to control.
• Determine each controller’s preset lighting levels for the Scene.
• Define and schedule Events, see 

Schedule an Event

 on 

page 12

.

The WTC can be Linked to a project’s lighting controllers using Echoflex 
pre-commissioning services. Contact customer service for information about 
pre-commissioning services.

Schedule Events 

The WTC supports up to 50 programmed Events that can be scheduled to 
occur and re-occur every day, on weekdays, on weekends, or on individual 
days of the week.

Events can be set to occur at a particular time 
of day by setting a specific time, or by setting 
an offset time based on an astronomical 
event, such as before sunrise, after sunrise, 
before sunset, or after sunset. Events can also 
be connected to create a compound Event, 
where one Event triggers other Events to 
execute, see 

Stage an Event

An Event is controlled by the type of Action selected. Types of Action include:
