EXTRON ECM S10 (01) PDF DOCUMENT

The rear panel of the EXTRON ECM S10 includes features on both the transmitter and receiver units:

A – Decorator Style Faceplate Cover Mounting Location (2): Used to attach the oversized 1-gang decorator style cover.

B – US 1-gang Mounting Slots (2): Used to mount the device to any standard US 1-gang junction box. The slots allow for minor alignment adjustments.

C – EU and MK 1-gang Mounting Slots (2): Used to mount the device to any standard EU or MK 1-gang junction box. The slots allow for minor alignment adjustments.

D – Transmitter Power Input: A 12-inch (305 mm) pigtail, terminated with a two-pole captive screw connector, accepts power from the receiver power output.

E – eBUS Status LEDs: Located on the receiver, these yellow, red, and green LEDs provide diagnostic information about connection, communication, and power status.

F – eBUS Port: A four-pole captive screw connector that provides power to the receiver and can also provide communication with an Extron IPCP control processor.

• If the control signal is sent via eBUS, cables are connected to all four poles (+V, +S, -S, G).

• If the control signal is sent via the digital output port, cables are connected to the +V and G poles only.

G – Receiver Power Output: A two-pole captive screw connector that provides 14 VDC to the transmitter.

H – Digital Output Port: If using the digital output for the control signal, this two-pole captive screw connector is connected to a Digital I/O port on a control processor.

The front panel of the EXTRON ECM S10 includes several key components and indicators:

A – IR Signal Source: The transmitter emits an IR signal through this slot in the cover.

B – IR Signal Detector: The receiver detects the IR signal from the transmitter when it passes through this slot in the cover.

C – Sensor Status LEDs: The transmitter has one red LED. The receiver has one amber and one green LED. These provide feedback about power and alignment status.

D – Removable Sensor Cover: Both the transmitter and receiver have sensor covers. Removing the cover on the receiver provides access to the BUS ID DIP switches, sensitivity adjustment control, sensor setting control, and Reset button.

E – Sensitivity adjustment: By default, the sensitivity of the detector in the receiver is set to maximum. Extron recommends that it remains at this setting.

F – Sensor Setting: By default, this is set to D (normally open). If required, use a small, flat-bladed screwdriver to turn the setting to L (normally closed).

G – BUS ID DIP Switches: Used to set a unique BUS ID for each eBUS device connected to the same control processor. Up to eight partition sensors configured for eBUS operation can be connected to one control processor.

H – Reset Button: If required, press this recessed button to reset the firmware to the factory installed version.

The LEDs on the EXTRON ECM S10 provide feedback on power and alignment status. The following table explains the indicators when the sensor is set to Normally Open (D).

Notes:

• If the red transmitter LED is off, the transmitter is not receiving power.

• If the green receiver sensor LED is off, the receiver is not receiving power.

To reset the firmware on the EXTRON ECM S10 to the factory installed version, follow these steps:

1. Disconnect the eBUS cable that is providing power.

2. Press and hold down the recessed Reset button and, while holding down the Reset button, reconnect the eBUS cable.

3. Release the Reset button 1 second after reconnecting power. The reset process is complete when the eBUS Connection Status LED lights.

Note: If the reset is performed while the partition status signal is sent via eBUS, the firmware is initially reset to the factory default, but the IPCP control processor may then push a more recent version of the firmware to the ECM S10.

The installation of the EXTRON ECM S10 involves several key stages:

Before You Start:

• Downloading necessary software.

• Considering the placement of the ECM S10 units.

Installation:

• Step 1 – Installing the Junction Boxes.

• Step 2 – Connecting Cables to the Units (for either eBUS or I/O port signals).

• Step 3 – Setting the BUS ID Addresses (only for control signal via eBUS).

• Step 4 – Configuring the System.

• Step 5 – Testing and Troubleshooting the System.

• Step 6 – Mounting the Transmitter and Receiver.

• Step 7 – Aligning the Transmitter and Receiver.

The following conditions influence where the EXTRON ECM S10 can be installed:

• The transmitter and receiver must be placed on opposite sides of the moveable partition wall.

• The transmitter and receiver are designed to mount face down into junction boxes on the ceiling. The units can mount to a 1-gang US, EU, or MK junction box.

• When the partition is closed, the receiver must be unable to detect the IR signal sent by the transmitter.

• When the partition is open, the receiver must be able to detect the IR signal sent by the transmitter.

• The transmitter and receiver must be aligned so that the receiver is within line of sight of the transmitter. The detector of the receiver cannot be more than 2.5° from the center line of the signal from the transmitter.

• The distance between the transmitter and receiver must not exceed 10 feet (3 meters).

Please adhere to the following guidelines when installing the junction boxes for the EXTRON ECM S10:

• Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.

• Extron recommends installing the ECM S10 into a grounded, UL Listed electrical junction box.

• Follow all national and local building and electrical codes that apply to the installation site.

• The junction boxes must be aligned so that the tops and bottoms face each other, on either side of the room partition, to ensure the signal can be detected when the partition is open.

• The distance between the two boxes must not exceed 10 feet (3 meters).

• For the installation to meet UL requirements and to comply with National Electrical Code (NEC), the ECM S10 must be installed in a UL Listed junction box (not included).

• The junction boxes must be purchased separately by the end user or installer and installed following the manufacturer’s instructions.

• The transmitter and receiver should be connected using a plenum-rated serial control cable. If the cable is not plenum-rated, it must be contained within a conduit run between the two junction boxes.

The receiver can be powered by an eBUS connection to an Extron IPCP control processor, distribution hub, or a 12 VDC power supply. The transmitter is powered by a 14 VDC power cable from the receiver. Adhere to the following notifications:

ATTENTION:

• Always use a power supply supplied or specified by Extron. Use of an unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and may cause damage.

• If not provided with a power supply, this product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed power source marked “Class 2” or “LPS” and rated output 12 VDC, minimum 1.0 A.

• Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling spaces or in wall cavities.

• The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 725 and the Canadian Electrical Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to a building structure.

NOTES:

• Connect up to eight eBUS devices for each IPCP Pro control processor.

• Wire the connectors in the same way at both ends.

• Do not exceed a total of 1000 feet (305 meters) of cable for connections between the IPCP Pro and all the eBUS panels and devices.

• Do NOT power an ECM S10 from more than one power source. If more than one power source is used in a system, make sure that the devices powered by the first source are isolated from the devices powered by the second source by disconnecting the +V pin of the first source.

1. Connect the receiver to a control processor or power supply using a standard eBUS cable. Extron STP20-2/1000 or STP20-2P/1000 cable is recommended. The four connectors are:

• +V – Carries 12 VDC power (Red wire)

• +S – Carries the positive data signal (Green wire)

• -S – Carries the negative data signal (White wire)

• G – Ground (Black wire)

2. Connect the 14 VDC output on the receiver to the 14 VDC input on the transmitter. The cable (not provided) should be run between the two junction boxes. Use a plenum-rated serial control cable (e.g., Extron STP 20 or STP 20-2 cable). If the cable is not plenum-rated, it must be in a conduit.

NOTE: Power to the receiver (red and black wires) can come from the IPCP control processor, powered distribution hub, or a power supply. If power comes from a power supply, the red and black wires must be disconnected from the control processor.

1. Connect the receiver to a control processor or power supply using a modified eBUS cable for power only. Use only the two following connectors:

• +V – carries 12 VDC power (Red wire)

• G – ground (Black wire)

• The +S and -S signal wires are not used.

2. If you use the eBUS connector for power only, you must connect the receiver’s digital output port to a digital I/O port on a control device.

3. Connect the 14 VDC output on the receiver to the 14 VDC input on the transmitter. The cable (not provided) should be run between the two junction boxes. Use a plenum-rated serial control cable (e.g., Extron STP 20 or STP 20-2 cable). If the cable is not plenum-rated, it must be contained within a conduit.

NOTE: Power to the receiver (red and black wires) can come from the IPCP control processor or a power supply. If power comes from a power supply, the eBUS cable connects to the power supply and NOT to the control processor.

This step is required if the control signal is passed via eBUS. Up to eight eBUS devices can be connected to one IPCP control processor, and each must have a unique six-bit BUS ID. The ID is set with the DIP switch assembly on the front panel of the receiver.

The six DIP switches provide 64 addresses (1 through 63). To set the address, add the decimal numbers for each DIP switch that is set to On (Up position). For example, if only DIP switch #5 is on, the address is 2.

NOTES:

• Any address can be used except address 0 (binary: 000000), which is reserved for the controller.

• Switch 1 (on the left) is the highest value (32, the most significant bit or MSB).

• Switch 6 (on the right) is the lowest value (1, the least significant bit or LSB).

• Up = on = 1, Down = off = 0.

• The factory default address for the ECM S10 is 20 (BUS ID = 010100).

If there is an address conflict (two or more modules have the same BUS ID), the red status LED on the rear of the receiver lights solidly.

In the table below, a DIP switch setting shown as 0 is equivalent to off. A DIP switch setting shown as 1 is equivalent to On. The ID number 0 (switch setting 000000) is reserved for the IPCP control processor and cannot be used by an eBUS device.

The system must be configured to respond to the partition status signal (Logic High for open, Logic Low for closed) appropriately. Configuration requirements depend on how the signal is sent:

• Signal sent via eBUS: Each device on the same IPCP control processor must have a unique six-bit BUS ID. You can configure the system using Global Configurator Plus and Professional or program it using Global Scripter.

• Signal sent via digital output to an Extron IPCP Pro: Global Configurator Plus and Professional or Global Scripter are required to configure the system.

• Signal sent via digital output to an Extron IPLink (non-Pro) control processor: Use Global Configurator 3.0 or later to configure the system.

• Signal sent via digital output to a third-party controller: Use the control system software recommended for that controller.

Test the system before mounting the units into the junction boxes, as the rear panel status LEDs will be inaccessible afterward.

Ensure the receiver responds to signals from the transmitter:

1. Connect power and check that:

• The green sensor LED on the receiver front panel and the red LED on the transmitter front panel both light, showing both units have power.

• The amber sensor LED on the receiver front panel is off, showing it is detecting a signal. When the signal is obstructed, this LED should turn on.

2. After testing, shut off the power to the receiver.

Ensure the ECM S10 functions in the eBUS system (if applicable):

1. Verify that the BUS ID DIP switches are set to the desired address and there are no BUS ID conflicts in the system.

2. Check the eBUS status LEDs on the rear panel of the receiver:

• Off: All three LEDs are off, indicating the device is not receiving power.

• Yellow LED: Lights steadily when the device has power but communication with the IPCP control processor is not confirmed.

• Red LED: Lights steadily when there is a BUS ID address conflict.

• Green LED: Lights steadily when power and communication are both confirmed.

3. Verify that eBUS cables are wired consistently at each end (pin 1 to pin 1, etc.).

4. Test the system operation:

• With the partition open, ensure the sensor status LEDs light appropriately for the “partition open” state.

• Block the IR signal by placing a solid object between the units. Ensure the sensor status LEDs light appropriately for the “partition closed” state.

5. Make any necessary adjustments to wiring, BUS ID address, or system configuration.

1. Before mounting, ensure that power has been cut off to the system. The junction boxes should already be installed in the ceiling.

2. For access to the EU or MK mounting slots, remove the sensor cover from both the transmitter and receiver by gently pressing the sides of the cover to free the catches.

3. Secure the transmitter and receiver to their respective junction boxes using appropriate screws (not provided). Tighten the screws so the units are attached securely but can still be moved slightly to adjust their alignment.

4. Do not replace the sensor cover or mount the faceplate until the transmitter and receiver are fully aligned.

1. The mounting slots provide some play, allowing the units to be moved for alignment. Use a laser pointer and carpenter square to ensure the receiver is aligned with the IR source on the transmitter.

2. Use a laser pointer and carpenter square to ensure the IR source on the transmitter is pointing straight at the receiver.

3. Power on the receiver. The transmitter should also power on, indicated by the front panel LEDs. The green LED on the receiver and the red LED on the transmitter should both be lit.

• If sensor setting is D (normally open, factory default): The amber LED on the receiver is off when a signal is detected and on when the signal is obstructed.

• If sensor setting is L (normally closed): The amber LED on the receiver is on when a signal is detected and off when the signal is obstructed.

4. If both units have power but the amber sensor LED indicates they are not aligned, use a laser pointer to re-check the alignment.

5. If either unit is not aligned, slightly loosen the mounting screws and gradually adjust its position until they are aligned correctly. The receiver sensor must be within 2.5° of the transmitter’s signal centerline and no more than 10 feet away.

6. Place a solid object in front of the IR source on the transmitter to ensure the amber LED on the receiver switches state correctly (on for setting D, off for setting L).

7. When all LEDs light correctly, tighten the mounting screws, taking care not to disturb the alignment.

8. Replace the sensor cover (if it was removed) and the faceplate.
