Forward-Phase Dimmer–Gen 2

Custom Configuration

This document guides you through the installation and local configuration of
the Forward-Phase Dimmer–Gen 2. You can access advanced functionality
using the EchoAccess Mobile App. For more information, see the EchoAccess
integrated help system.

EchoConnect

EchoConnect is a two-wire topology free system that provides the Forward-
Phase Dimmer–Gen 2 with the flexibility to connect in a system with up to
16 Echo control products and up to 15 other Echo output products over 500 m
(1,640 ft) of control wire.

Plug-and-Play Functionality

Using the Forward-Phase Dimmer–Gen 2 on the EchoConnect control system
allows simple plug-and-play functionality, where no software or external
programming is required. The connected control stations or sensors provide
the control message and the Forward-Phase Dimmer–Gen 2 responds.

See the

Echo Inspire Station Installation Guide, Echo Occupancy/Vacancy

Sensor Installation Guide, or Echo Light Sensor Installation Guide for more
information about how to set levels and controls. You can download ETC
manuals free of charge from the ETC website (see page 1).
