Installation
1. The MBI comes with a screw-less faceplate. It is designed to stay in place with
no rattle and requires some force when mounting or removing. Remove the face
plate with a flat blade screw driver, by prying the slot that is located on the center
of the bottom edge of the faceplate.
2. The MBI can be mounted with wall anchors and #6 screws (not supplied).
Determine where the station is to be located then hold the switch station to the
surface of the drywall, (ensure the station is level and plumb). Mark the locations
for the wall anchors using the screw holes as a template, then install the wall
anchors. Screw the MBI to the wall anchors. If mounting to a mud ring, hold the
MBI with the Back Support Plate behind it and screw both pieces in place.
3.
Faceplate Installation:
Place the faceplate over the station with the notch
on the lower edge. The faceplate clicks into place while pressing against the
plate face above and below the buttons. You should hear two loud clicks.
Alternate mounting:
The MBI can be mounted to a mud ring or with a separate
order item (Barrier kit), it can also be installed on wall outlets. (See Accessories
section or data sheet for ordering information). Follow the Barrier kit
(8188K100X-X) installation instructions.
4. Test the operation of the station. The buttons should return to the neutral position
after release. An audible click is expected, and the green LED will flash on each
button press to indicate the RPS telegram was transmitted and the last measured
battery voltage is good.
L
inking a Station to an Echoflex Controller
The linking process requires the controller or receiver to be
mounted, powered and within range of the station to be linked.
Each receiver can support up to 20-30 switch stations, depending
on receiver model.
1. Activate LEARN or LINK mode at the receiver, if necessary refer
to the manufacturers documentation.
2. For each pair of ON/OFF buttons, press the ON button three
times in quick succession.
3. Deactivate LEARN mode at the receiver. Test operation of the
station by switching
ON
and
OFF
.
Replacing the Battery
The battery is accessible on the back of the MBI.
Faceplate Removal:
1. Push against the carrier frame around the buttons using two or three fingers on one
hand.
2. Using your other hand, take a small flat head screwdriver, place the head under the
faceplate in the notch on the lower edge of the faceplate.
3. Using this hand as leverage against the wall, pull out aggressively against the faceplate,
away from the wall.
NOTE:
Do not leverage the screwdriver handle against the wall as
this may cause damage to the wall.
4. The faceplate will spring free captured by your fingers holding the carrier against the wall.
Unscrew the MBI from its mounting location. The battery cover slides off as indicated by the
arrow. Before inserting the new battery, press the ON button for 10 seconds to discharge
any stored energy in the station. Replace the battery with a CR2032 coin cell. The positive
side faces the slide out battery cover.
When a battery is inserted a successful station start up is indicated by a light chase sequence:
green -> yellow -> red repeated three times. Remount the MBI and snap the faceplate on (as
described in installation section - Faceplate Installation).
