Product Overview
Control and configure everything from a single location with ETC's Echo® Expansion Bridge. This powerful controller lets Echo control systems contain up to four Echo segments, each with their own power supply and Echo products. Each segment can support up to 16 stations or sensors and up to 16 output devices, increasing the Echo control system capacity to 64 stations and sensors as well as 64 output products. Each bridge may contain a maximum of 16 spaces with up to 16 zones per space. The Echo Expansion Bridge also expands the capability of the TimeClock, enabling it to be shared across all four Echo segments within a single control system.
Plus, using the controller in conjunction with the EchoAccess™ Mobile App allows you to connect to the Echo network via Wi-Fi. This means you can control and configure segments, spaces, presets and zones of any connected Bridge. Multiple Echo Expansion Bridges can also be networked to a Unison Paradigm® control system, allowing Paradigm to control individual control systems.
