ETC

Demand Response Interface:

Activates Demand Response, affecting up four consecutive Echo Spaces, 
starting with the interface Space rotary switch setting.

Example: Setting the Space switch to 3 results in control of Spaces 3, 4, 5, 
and 6. A value higher than 13 will result in control of only Spaces 14, 15, 
and 16.

Functionality:

• a closed contact means the designated space is in active Demand 

Response state

• an open contact means Demand Response is inactive

Output Interface:

Relay outputs are controlled by Zones 1-4 respectively (when the Zone dial is 
set to its default setting of 1). Changing the Zone dial will alter the starting 
Zone. Reference the related Note on the bottom of page 7. 

• When the intensity of an assigned zone is non-zero the 

corresponding relay output will be closed.

• When the intensity of an assigned zone is equal to zero the 

corresponding relay will be open.

• By default, all odd numbered presets, when activated, will close all 

relay outputs and all even numbered presets, when activated, will 
open all relay outputs. This is true until the preset is re-recorded with 
new values.

Custom

Custom configuration mode applies the following default behaviors until 
changed using the EchoAccess Mobile App:

Input Interface 

Inputs control Presets 1-4 respectively, using maintained input mode where:

• closing contact activates a preset
• opening a contact deactivates a preset

Note: Each Echo space can only have one assigned demand 

response input.

Note: Functionality varies depending on whether the 

normally open or normally closed contact terminal is 

utilized. The default behaviors listed below are 

assuming a normally open installation. The normally 

closed contact provides inverted behavior, its status 

always the opposite of the normally open contact.
