HOW TO DUPLEX TWO RELAYS:   

Duplex enables EchoSwitch® to use two relays to alternate after each cycle while performing a lead-lag 
operation.  To begin, configure two relays in the same mode (ex: two relays are set as PUMPs that FILL or two 
relays set as PUMPs that EMPTY).  Be sure to set one relay with an ON Set Point at the Primary Level and the 
other relay ON Set Point at the Backup Level.  Setting the relays with the same ON level will have cause both 
relays to turn on at the same time.  Once this is completed, see the steps below.  Example below shows two 
relays (A and B) used to Auto Empty a tank:

 

 

1.  Make sure at least two relays are in the same 

mode for pumps.   
a.  If this is not true, then M-PLEX will not 

appear. 

2.  In TOP-LEVEL MENU mode, select M-PLEX. 
3. Select 

DUPLEX. 

a.  If three relays are configured in the same 

mode, continue to step 4.   

b.  If only two relays are configured, jump to step 

5. 

4.  Select R1_R2 (Relay 1 & 2), R2_R3 (Relay 2 & 

3) or R1_R3 (Relay 1 & 3). 
a.  EchoSwitch® will allow you to select two of 

three relays to duplex.   

5.  Select EXIT to return to TOP-LEVEL MENU.
