Overview

The EchoAccess Interface is a wall
mounted device that works in
conjunction with the EchoAccess
App. The Interface uses Bluetooth

®

Smart (aka Bluetooth Low Energy or
BLE) wireless technology to provide
access to the Echo control system. Use
the Interface and the app together to
wirelessly configure and control your
Echo Presets, Spaces, Zones, and
devices.

Specification

Installation Environment

For indoor, commercial controls use only. ETC recommends paying special
attention to the installation environment:

Indoor installation only 0-40°C (32-104°F), 5-95% non-condensing
humidity.

A wireless operating distance of no more than 9.1 m (30 ft) between
the EchoAccess Interface and the mobile device running the
EchoAccess App.

Obstacles reduce the wireless transmission distance. When possible,
avoid transmitting through walls, ceilings, etc.

Compliance

For use with ETC Echo Control Systems, powered by Echo power supplies.

UL/cUL listed, CE compliant, WEEE and ROHS marked, FCC compliant for
