What is SmartClick and how do I use it?

Smartclick is a process that allows you to access a Echoflex controllers configuration parameters after it has been installed and is no longer easily accessible.

Echoflex ERDRC-C, ERDRC-O, ERDRC-K, and ERDRC-BFC controllers support all or some of the SmartClick parameters.

Switch Assignment - You may use SmartClick to learn a switch to a  controller if the controller has no existing switches or sensors assigned. If the POWER led is ON solid then there are no switches or sensors assigned to the controller.

Click the switch rapidly ON 3 times, OFF 3 times and then ON 3 times.

To use SmartClick:

STEP 1:  To enter SmartClick configuration mode, you use a switch assigned to the controller(s) and then select which controller you wish to configure.

Click the lights OFF . With the lights OFF, push the switch OFF and hold for 10 seconds until the light comes ON; you are now in configuration mode. Any controller that has the same switch assigned will also be in configuration mode and its lights will also be ON. Scroll through the controllers by clicking the switch ON – only one controller can be selected.

STEP 2: Select a Controller - Scroll through the controllers by clicking the switch ON – only one controller can be selected. Make your selection by pushing the switch ON for 5 seconds or until the light blinks. You are now in the parameter selection step.

STEP 3: Selecting a Parameter Setting - You can scroll through the parameter table by clicking ON to move up and OFF to move down through the table. The light will blink the corresponding number of the selected setting. To select a parameter setting for editing, press and hold ON for 3 seconds.

STEP 4: Editing a Parameter Setting - Referring to the table below, make the changes to the setting. You can exit back to the parameter selection step by pressing and holding ON for 3 seconds (the light will resume blinking indicating the selection) or jump to step 4,saving and exiting.

STEP 5: Saving and Exit - At any time you may save your changes and exit SmartClick mode by pressing and holding OFF for 10 seconds.

The full menu of parameters includes:

Remote Learn – Use this mode to learn other switches and sensors. The light will start toggling when entering this mode, assign the new switch by clicking ON, remove by clicking OFF. Assign new sensors be pressing the TEACH button on the sensor. The light will resume toggling after 4 seconds.

Remote Clear – You may clear any  switch assignment to a controller by clicking ON 5 times, click 5 more times to clear all switches. To complete the clear, hold OFF for 5 seconds will exit configuration to normal operating mode. If you unassign all switches the light will go on or full brightness.

Repeater Function Enable – Turn on or off the repeater functionality of the controller, this parameter does not effect other controller features. The light output will reflect the status of this feature. 

Enable Status Broadcast – Controller transmits status to other receivers/gateways.  The light output will reflect the status of this feature.

Time-Out and Occupancy Time-Out – Use this setting to select the time-out period for either occupancy mode or manual ON with Auto-off. In occupancy mode, the lights will trigger OFF after the defined period has timed out from the last detected motion. In Manual ON, Auto-OFF the lights trigger OFF after the defined period has elapsed.

Auto-ON Enable – Use with occupancy sensors to trigger light ON with motion. Use only powered occupancy sensors for this configuration.  The light output will reflect the status of this feature. The default setting is OFF.

Dimming Ballast Configuration – To set the configuration for a dimming ballast, click ON for active or OFF to deactivate.  The light output will reflect the status of this feature. The default setting is OFF.

Photocell Setpoint – Default setting is 60%. Adjust the light level to the brightness level when the light should trigger OFF. For dimming ballasts, there are 10 steps 10% to 100% - the ballast output will dim to the step level. For non-dimming ballasts, 5 steps, 20% to 100% - the light will blink the step count.

Maximum Dimming Output -  Use only with dimming ballasts, default is 100% output (full ON). Click OFF to decrease nthis setting in 2% increments, for 88%, click OFF 6 times. The ballast will dim to the light level setting.

Broadcast Occupancy Transmit – Configure the controller to broadcast occupancy state to other controllers in the same Switch group.  The light output will reflect the status of this feature
