Room Controller - Gen 2

The Unison Echo Room Controller provides a complete power solution for small- and medium-sized rooms - all from a single product. Its feed-thru power input allows all four or eight relay outputs and 0-10V control to be fed by the same input circuit or for any number of circuits to be separately fed.

Four Room Controller models are available:

  • 4 Zone
  • 4 Zone with integrated TimeClock
  • 8 Zone
  • 8 Zone with integrated TimeClock

Note:   For information to configure the integrated TimeClock, reference the Unison Echo Astronomical TimeClock Configuration Manual. All ETC documentation is available for free download from etcconnect.com.
