ETC Installation Guide

Forward-Phase Dimmer–Gen 2

Connect EchoConnect

The EchoConnect wire terminations are bound together and include a black
wire (data -), a white wire (data +), and a green/yellow wire (ESD). Because
EchoConnect is topology free, you can install the wires in any combination of
bus, star, loop, or home-run.

Note:

When using Category5 (or equivalent) cable on the EchoConnect

communication bus, please note the following:

Not all topologies are supported using Cat5; plan carefully to
ensure that the proper termination kits are available and the
wire is pulled appropriately.

Terminate Cat5 wiring using the EchoConnect Cat5 Station
Termination Kit, and install it using a bus topology. See the
installation guide that is provided with the Cat5 Station
Termination Kit (7186A1207) for information on terminating
Cat5 wiring.

1.

Pull all required wiring (data +, data -, and the ESD ground wire) to the
junction box.

2.

Use the included WAGO connectors to make the following
terminations: 

a.

Connect the incoming ground wire to the ESD green/yellow
ground wire on the unit.

b.

Connect the white (data +) wire to the incoming data + (typically
white).

c.

Connect the black (data -) wire to the incoming data - (typically
black).

Terminate EchoConnect 
wiring using provided 
WAGO connectors.
