Overview
The Split Duplex Receptacle Outlet Controller provides a simple solution to meet energy codes without requiring complex changes to a facility. The controller can retrofit your existing duplex receptacles simply and quickly, without the need for new wiring. The controller offers a duplex receptacle with a 15-amp relay-switched outlet and a 15-amp constant-power outlet. Its auxiliary output allows for additional standard outlets to be controlled by its internal relay. Compatible with Echoflex occupancy sensors, the outlet can be switched based on room occupancy, helping to meet the most stringent ASHRAE and California energy codes. The Split Duplex Controller mounts in a standard electrical box and will accept a decorator style face place (not included).
Arrow shaped LEDs provide permanent marking of the control outlet and users can choose to have the LEDs turned off.
The controller activates electrical loads with received input from a linked sensor or switch transmitting:
- Ambient light levels monitored by a wireless photo sensor
- Occupancy state monitored by a wireless occupancy sensor
- Switch action from a wireless single or dual paddle wall switch
- Switch action from a wireless key card switch
- Switch action from a wireless door/window (reed) switch
- Gateway control implementing schedules or other events
The Split Duplex Controller fits equally as well into hospitality applications. Responding to linked key card switches that monitor suite occupancy, control can be added to lighting or other electrical circuits to disable the loads when the suite is vacant. The controller can also be used to enable and disable air-conditioning equipment based on the occupancy state and/or patio door position.
Other features include telegram repeating and BEMS system integration allowing the controller to be used both in distributed control applications or as a component of a centralized system.
Echoflex offers pre-linking and pre-commissioning on all products sold as a system through Echoflex. In addition to this service, Echoflex provides several methods of configuring and verifying controller operation once installed on-site:
- Use the linked sensors and Simple Tap™ to make quick changes to individual controllers.
- Use Smart Click® to access more configuration parameters using a linked switch.
- To access the full menu of configuration parameters, Echoflex’s Garibaldi software is a PC based tool that includes hands-free commissioning.
