ETA-ECS6RM  
Electrical Control Sequencer  
INTRODUCTION  
Thank you for purchasing the ETA Systems ETA-ECS6RM Intelligent AC Power Sequencer. The ETA-ECS6RM (Electrical Controller  
Sequencer with Six Timing Sections with Remote Monitoring) modular system has been designed to meet most installation  
requirements for AC power distribution, equipment power conditioning and surge suppression protection. The compact 1RU unit  
features six sequential timing sections that can be activated via the unit, or remotely. Up to three ETA-ECS6RM units can be daisy  
chained together with independent trigger timing settings giving you a total of 18 sequence triggered outlets. The ETA-ECS6RM unit  
is the activation controller/monitor portion of the system and requires a 120V AC Mains ECM (Electrical Controlled Module) module for  
each triggered output. A variety of remote ECM AC modules are available to meet different installation requirements.  
The ETA-ECS6RM can also monitor up to six independent 20A AC main lines, both voltage and current readings can be viewed via the  
laboratory grade meters on the front panel. The ETA-ECS6RM has built in intelligence that monitors the AC lines and will inform you of  
potentially damaging voltages. If the AC Mains voltage is between 101VAC and 107VAC or 128VAC and 132VAC the display will flash  
an error code indicating a potential fault has occurred and sensitive equipment should be checked. If an extreme voltage swing occurs  
above 128VAC or below 101VAC, the Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) protection circuit will automatically turn all remote ECM  
modules Off until the system is manually reset. The EVS feature can be defeated if required.  
The ETA-ECS6RM also features 6 sequenced independent relay contacts. The activation of the contacts work in parallel of the  
corresponding ECM triggered outputs. Activation can be done via the Front panel momentary switch, RMT V input (5-24VDC), External  
switch or via the optional Remote ECS-KSW6 key switch. The ECS-KSW6 can be placed up to 1000 ft away from the ETA-ECS6RM and  
will also indicate if an ECM is activated or if a fault condition has occurred to one or all six channels.  
To light your rack, the ETA-ECS6RM has incorporated both front and rear XLR style sockets for the 16" gooseneck LED lamp. One Atlas  
Power AP-GNL18 lamp is included and a second lamp can be purchased separately from ETA Systems. LED lamps are far superior in  
longevity along with heat reduction when compared to traditional incandescent lamps and the XLR base mounts are also superior to  
the commonly used BNC type base.  
The ECM modules have been designed to be flexible to meet a variety of AC power management requirements. The mating of the  
ETA-ECS6RM to the ECM modules can be accomplished using any 5 conductor cable and can be placed up to 1000 ft away from each  
other. Each ECM module has an input DC voltage trigger of 5VDC, plus three low voltage data port connections for AC Mains  
monitoring. If AC outlets are required to be placed within the same rack as the ETA-ECS6RM, the ECM-RACEWY6 raceway can house  
up to six ETA-ECM20 or ETA-ECM20M modules and six independent 20A AC 120V lines. For remote locations where single outlet turn  
On/Off and monitoring are required the ETA-15SH (15A) and the ETA-20SH (20A) can be a perfect fit. All ECM modules offer different  
and unique packaging designs and mounting options to assure they meet job requirements.  
Features of the ECM modules vary allowing the customer to choose what is best for their installation, but all ECM modules feature AC  
spike suppression. AC Spikes, or Transients, are commonly caused by utility power plant grid switchovers. The amount of energy that  
can be injected into the power system can be immense with voltages reaching 6kV or amperage peaks of 3000A. These spikes are  
very fast and usually only last for a very short period of time. To protect against this potential problem incoming AC Mains have special  
suppression circuitry to eliminate the unwanted energy. This circuitry is very fast and can suppress unwanted energy within a  
nanosecond, while sustaining the suppression for up to 2 milliseconds, thus ensuring virtually trouble free protection. High and Low  
AC Main line voltages are another major contributor to equipment failures. The ECM modules support EVS circuitry which enables the  
module to be shut Off during Low and High AC Line conditions.  
The ETA-ECM20M, ETA-15SH and ETA-20SH, also feature noise filtering for unwanted Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) that is  
commonly introduced into the AC lines by nearby radio transmitters or wireless products. EMI filters are incorporated to reduce noise  
from Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) generated by items such as electric motors and switching power supplies. The benefit of  
these filters can be seen on video products or audibly by reducing static pops and external signal interference.  
High line can also be known as surges. Surges usually are a slower steady state rise in voltages ranging from 128VAC and up. They can  
be caused from fluctuations in the utility company's power lines or industrial equipment turning On and Off and on the same power leg  
of the building's incoming AC.  
Low line is also known as brownouts. This happens when the AC Mains drops below 107VAC. Most of the time it is caused by the  
utility company not being able to supply enough power during heavy utility consumption time periods, such as heat waves. Another  
factor would be from voltage drops in AC lines due to long transmissions. The ETA-ECS6RM will inform you if any of these conditions  
occur. Extreme variances in Unstable AC Mains voltage are one of the main reasons for equipment failure.  
The ETA-ECS6RM offers Intelligent Sequenced Power Management control, making it the most flexible, effective power management  
protection system on the market today.

1. System Activation Switch To activate or deactivate the system sequence, press the momentary switch once. There must be at  
least one ECM (Electrical Control Module) connected for a sequence to occur. If there are no Channel Status LEDs illuminated or  
voltage reading, no sequence will occur. The unit will only sequence through the number of ECM modules connected. Note: If  
there are ECM modules connected and the Channel Status LED are illuminated but the Activation Switch has no effect, the unit  
may be in External Trigger Mode. Refer to Channel Status LEDs and Relay Contacts sections.  
2. Unit Activation Mode LEDs  
System ON LED – When the ETA-ECS6RM is activated the System ON LED  
will illuminate.  
Exterior Trigger Mode – If an External Trigger Voltage or Switch is applied to  
activate the ETA-ECS6RM the Exterior Trigger Mode LED will be illuminated.  
Note: When LED is ON the System Activation switch is defeated.  
Slave Mode – When the Slave Mode LED is Illuminated it indicates that there  
are more than one ETA-ECS6RM connected to the trigger sequencing. Up  
to three ETA-ECS6RM units can be connected in series. Refer to Rear Panel  
System Control for more details.  
3. Channel Activation Status LEDs – There are six Bi-Color LEDs that represent  
Channels 1 thru 6 of the ETA-ECS6RM. These LEDs indicate when there is AC  
voltage present or if there is an error within the AC Mains System.  
Red “Standby” – If a Channel on an ETA-ECM20, ETA-ECM20M, ETA-15SH,  
or ETA-20SH module is connected to the ETA-ECS6RM a Red LED will  
illuminate indicating that Channel is active and in Standby mode. If there  
are Channels of the ETA-ECS6RM with no ECM modules connected, NO  
LED for that Channel will illuminate indicating NO CONNECTION (nC) has  
been established. Note: If the Channel is selected for monitoring has no  
CONNECTION the LCD display will read “nC”.  
Green “ON” – When the ETA-ECS6RM has been activated and sequencing is completed, the LED for channels that have an  
ECM module connected will turn from Red “Standby” to Green to indicate the ECM module is activated and operational.  
Red “Flashing” – If a fault in voltage occurs the ECM-6RM will shut the ECM module off and will report back to the  
ETA-ECS6RM causing the Channel Activation LED to flash Red, indicating an error has occurred.  
Note: The LED will continue to flash until the voltage has stabilized at the ECM module and ETA-ECS6RM is reset. To reset the  
ETA-ECS6RM, restart the sequencing.  
Note: It is also possible to have Channels flashing Red while others are operational with a steady Green LED. This is because  
an ETA-15SH or ETA-20SH can be placed on a different AC leg up to 1000' away. Not all ECM modules may see the same error  
in AC Mains voltage thus allowing some ECM modules to remain operational.

4. Channel Selection Switches – These push button switches allow the selection of the channel to be viewed at the Voltage and  
Current Meter.  
5. Channel Selected LEDs – There are six Channels in the ETA-ECS6RM and only one Channel Voltage or Current can be viewed at a  
time. The Channel selected and being viewed is indicated by the illuminated LEDs.  
6. AC Mains Voltage and Current Meter – There is only one Volt and Current  
Meter. There are up to six Channels of viewing required and the channel must  
be selected to monitor. The Channel you are viewing will have a single LED  
illuminated. Refer to the Channel Select LED. The Voltmeter has a 2% accuracy  
tolerance and will indicate the Voltage present at an ECM module. For the  
Current reading to function an ETA-ECM20M, ETA-15SH or an ETA-20SH module  
must be connected. Also a minimum of 500mA of current draw must be at the  
ECM module for the ETA-ECS6RM to read. Less than that the display will read  
”nA”. When using the ETA-ECM20 module the Current display will read "nA"  
because it has no current sensing circuitry.  
Note: When first applying power to the ETA-ECS6RM and no ECM modules are connected the Voltage display will display "nC"  
because it has no external voltage to read.  
7. Light Socket – The XLR socket is used for the optional 12VDC AP-GNL18 LED Gooseneck Lamp. One lamp, from ETA Systems  
sister company Atlas Power, is included. Additional lamps are available through ETA.  
Note: This is not an audio connection.  
8. Light On/Off Switch – This switch turns On or Off the voltage to the XLR lamp socket.  
9. Adjustable and Removable Rack Mount Ears – The depth of the ETA-ECS6RM can be adjusted to meet the requirements of the  
rack. Loosen the corresponding screws, set depth and retighten screws. The rack ears can also be removed.

2. Relay Contacts – Each Channel of the ETA-ECS6RM also has a Relay contact that works in conjunction with the ECM control port.  
Sequencing and timing of these connections are the same as the corresponding ECM channels. Example: Sequence 1 ECM Port  
output works at the same times CH 1 Relay contact. Note: All ECM modules can be triggered using the Relay contacts to activate  
the ECM module. See ECM module for details.  
3. ETA-ECS6RM Remote Activation Connections – The ETA-ECS6RM can be activated via four methods. Two of them are via the  
Remote Activation ports. The others are via the Front Panel Activation Switch and ECS-KSW6 Key Panel Switch.  
1. External Switch (ExtSw) – The ETA-ECS6RM can be remotely activated from hundreds of feet away. A simple low voltage/  
current single contact switch can be applied to the two terminal connections marked “ExtSw” on the Remote Activation port.  
When these two points are shorted together, the unit will be active, when released the unit will shut Off. When the contacts  
are shorted together the Front Panel Activation Switch is overridden by the External Switch. The External Trigger LED will  
illuminate on the Front panel indicating the status of the activation mode.  
2. Remote Voltage Trigger – The ETA-ECS6RM can be remotely activated from hundreds of feet away using a DCV for  
activation. DC voltages ranging from 3V DC to 24V DC can be applied to the two terminal connections on the Remote  
Activation port marked “RMT V IN” and “GND”. When these two points have the proper voltage applied, the unit will be  
active, when the DC voltage is removed the unit will shut Off. When the proper DC voltage is applied the Front Panel Activation  
Switch is over ridden. The External Trigger LED will illuminate on the Front panel indicating the status of the activation mode.  
3. Front Panel Activation Switch – See Front Panel Activation Switch for details  
4. Remote Control Key Switch ECS-KSW6 – This an optional accessory item that allows you to activate, lock out, and monitor  
the system from up to 1000ft away. See Remote ECS-KSW6 for details.

4. Trigger Switches – Up to three ETA-ECS6RM units can be daisy chained together giving you 18 sequenced outputs. To do so you  
need to set the timing sequence of each unit. There are four dip switches that determine the position of the unit and the delay  
between sequencing. Follow the steps for setup.  
Master or Slave Unit – Determine if you are daisy chaining two or three units  
together. Choose the position of the sequence in perspective to the equipment  
you are activating. The first unit will be known as the Master Unit, all others are  
Slave Units. A & B switches determine the position of the unit and sequence  
timing. Follow the chart to the right and on the back of the ETA-ECS6RM for the  
settings. When a unit is selected as a Slave Unit the Front Panel Slave Mode  
LED will illuminate. Also follow the System Control Port section below for unit  
daisy chain connection. Note: After changing a setting the unit power must be  
reset for the changed settings to take effect.  
Delay Time Switches – The ETA-ECS6RM has three timing settings between  
each sequence, 1 Second, 3 Seconds and 6 Seconds. Follow the chart for the  
settings for Switches C & D. When daisy chaining multiple units together each unit’s settings only relate to that individual unit.  
For example, you can set Unit One for 3 Seconds, Unit Two for 1 Second and Unit Three for 6 Seconds or all can have the  
same setting. Note: After changing a setting the unit power must be reset for the changed settings to take effect.  
Auto EVS Bypass Switch – The Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) has two settings to meet your install requirements. The  
selection of the settings are via switches E or F. The selection affects all six channels. When “Enabled” the EVS circuit will  
trigger an ECM shutdown when an extreme voltage condition occurs and will auto reset when the voltage has stabilized. When  
“Disabled” the EVS circuitry will trigger a shutdown during and extreme voltage condition and will not turn back on unless the  
unit is sequenced. See EVS feature definition for details. Note: After changing a setting the unit power must be reset for the  
changed setting to take effect.

Light Socket – The XLR socket is used for the optional 12VDC AP-GNL18 LED Gooseneck Lamp. One lamp, from ETA Systems  
sister company Atlas Power, is included. Additional lamps are available through ETA.  
Note: This is not an audio connection.

7
Light On/Off Switch – This switch turns On or Off the voltage to the XLR lamp socket.  
System Control In/Out Ports – These ports are used when you need to daisy chain  
more than one ETA-ECS6RM together. Up to three units can be connected in series.  
Connection is via a RJ45 connector. A common Ethernet cable can be used.  
Note: This is not an IP Ethernet port and is only used for ETA-ECS6RM connectivity  
between units. Distance between units can be several feet apart. Start with the  
Master Unit by connecting to the “OUT” connector port and then into the first Slave  
units “IN” connector port.  
Remote Control Key Pad Port – This port is for connection with the ECS-KSW6  
Remote Key Switch / System Status Plate. This is an optional accessory item that  
allows you activate, lock out and monitor the AC Mains system from up to 1000ft  
away. See Remote ECS-KSW6 for details. Connection is via a RJ45 connector. A  
common Ethernet cable can be used. Note: This is not an IP Ethernet port and is only used for connectivity between ETA-ECS6RM  
and the ECS-KSW6 units. Wiring of this connector is the same as an Ethernet cable. Do not mis wire the connector or damage may  
occur.  
8
DC Power IN – The ETA-ECS6RM comes with a universal power supply that operates from 100V – 240VAC. The 24VDC output  
connects to the DC input jack. A cable tie can be used with the slot above the DC jack to secure the cable to the chassis.

Electrical Control Sequencer  
ECM DATA WIRE AND DISTANCE  
There are four different types of ECM Modules that require the same interface connectivity to the ETA-ECS6RM. All ECM Modules can  
be interfaced with the ETA-ECS6RM. For connection between the ETA-ECS6RM and an ECM module, use a 5 conductor cable that is  
a minimum of 22-gauge wire. We suggest using CAT5 cable due to the common availability and low cost. Pay special attention to the  
port connections and DO NOT MISWIRE or damage may occur. The distance between the ETA-ECS6RM and the ECM Module can be  
up to 1000ft.  
ECM MODULE ACTIVATION WITHOUT USING ETA-ECS6RM OR AN ECS-3 CONTROLLER  
Any of the ETA-ECM20, ETA-ECM20M, ETA-15SH or the ETA-20SH Modules can be triggered to activate without using an ECS type  
Controller. Any DCV supply will activate the ECM by applying DCV 5-24VDC to the “+” and “GND” terminals. An external switch will  
also activate an ECM by applying a contact to short terminals “+” and “D” together. Note: the EVS and Voltage monitoring will be  
disabled using either of these methods.  
ECM MODEL FEATURES  
EMI / RFI Filters – ECM noise filtering for unwanted Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) that are commonly introduced into the  
AC lines by nearby radio transmitters or wireless products. EMI filters are incorporated to reduce noise from Electromagnetic  
Interference (EMI) from such items as electric motors or switching power supplies. The benefit of these filters can be seen on  
video products or audibly by reducing static pops and external signal interference.  
AC Spike Protection – ECM modules feature AC spike suppression. AC Spikes, or Transients, are commonly caused by utility  
power plant grid switchovers. The amount of energy that can be injected into the power system can be immense with voltages  
reaching 6kV or amperage peaks of 3000A. These spikes are very fast and usually only last for a very short period of time. To  
protect against this potential problem incoming AC Mains have special suppression circuitry to eliminate the unwanted energy.  
This circuitry is very fast and can suppress unwanted energy within a nanosecond, while sustaining the suppression up to 2  
milliseconds, thus ensuring virtually trouble free protection.  
AC Surge Protection – High line can also be known as surges. Surges usually are a slower steady state rise in voltages ranging  
from 128VAC and up. They can be caused from fluctuations from the utility company's power lines, or industrial equipment turning  
On and Off, on the same power leg of the building's incoming AC.  
EVS Protection – If an ECM Module is connected to the ETA-ECS6RM, the ETA-ECS6RM has built in intelligence that monitors the  
AC lines from the ECM modules and will inform you of potentially damaging voltages. If the AC Mains voltage is between 101VAC  
and 107VAC or 128VAC and 132VAC the display will flash an error code indicating a potential fault has occurred and you should  
check sensitive equipment. If an extreme voltage swing occurs above 128VAC or below 101VAC, the Extreme Voltage Shutdown  
(EVS) protection circuit will automatically turn all remote ECM modules off until the system is manually reset. The EVS feature can  
be defeated if required via the ETA-ECS6RM EVS bypass switch.  
Over Current Protection – In the case of excessive current draw at the ECM module, an internal Slow Blow fuse will open  
protecting the devices plugged into the ECM module. Note: This fuse must be changed by a qualified service technician.

D
Circuit Ground, must be of the same circuit as the DCV source.  
AC Voltage Status Signal, this signal reports back to the ETA-ECS6RM the Incoming AC Mains Voltage to the ECM module.  
AC Current Status Signal, this signal reports back to the ETA-ECS6RM the AC Mains Current draw at the ECM module.  
Fault Status Signal, reports to the ETA-ECS6RM fault conditions of an ECM module.  
2. External Trigger / Manual On Switch – ETA-ECM20M, ETA-ECM20, ETA-20SH, and ETA-15SH have a manual override switch  
allowing them to be used for a local Power Conditioner and Surge Suppressor. To be remotely monitored and activated the switch  
must be in the “External Trigger” position.  
3. Incoming AC LED – This LED will illuminate Red when the ECM has incoming AC power present at the module. This LED must be  
On to operate. Note: If this LED is not illuminating check the following 1) The unit is plugged in, 2) The AC Mains Breaker feeding  
the AC leg to the ECM module is Off, 3) The internal fuse has been damaged. This should only be inspected by an authorized  
technician.  
4. Active LED – This LED will illuminate Green when the ECM module has sensed the proper DCV to trigger activate the power on  
circuit.  
Note: If connected to the ETA-ECS6RM and the EVS circuit is activated this LED will not be on. The Channel Status LED on the  
ETA-ECS6RM will flash indicating a problem and will not turn the ECM module on until the AC Mains voltage is stable.  
5. AC Fault LED – If damage to the Spike Suppression circuit occurred this LED will illuminate RED. The module may still operate  
but may not be protecting the items plugged into the AC outlets. This LED will not turn Off until repaired. Have the ECM module  
inspected by a qualified technician.  
6. AC Mains Outlet Two 120V AC 15A outlets.  
7. AC Mains Power Cord – 9" (3m) 120V 15A  
8. Mounting Bracket – There are two adjustable mounting brackets incorporated. There are three screws per side for bracket  
placement. Each bracket has a slide slot to allow mounting height adjustment.

ETA-ECS6RM ACCESSORY ITEMS  
AP-GNL18 – LED Gooseneck LAMP  
The Atlas Power AP-GNL18 is an optional LED Gooseneck Lamp and works with any of the ETA Systems 12VDC XLR base mount  
connectors. The length of the gooseneck is 16".  
ETA-15SH - Standalone 15A Power Conditioner and AC Spike Suppressor  
This Electrical Control Module (ECM) is a 15A Power Conditioner and AC Spike Suppressor designed to be a standalone Single  
Housing (SH) unit that can be placed up to 1000 ft away from the ETA-ECS6RM. To make full use of the ETA-15SH features, the  
ECM must be connected to the ETA-ECS6RM controller to activate features such as AC Mains voltage monitoring, load current  
monitoring, and Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS).  
ETA-20SH - Standalone 20A Power Conditioner and AC Spike Suppressor  
This Electrical Control Module (ECM) is a 20A Power Conditioner and AC Spike Suppressor designed to be a standalone Single  
Housing (SH) unit that can be placed up to 1000 ft away from the ETA-ECS6RM. The ETA-20SH has several advanced features  
incorporated, refer to the individual data sheet for full instructions and specifications on the module. Many of the ETA-20SH  
features and connections are the same as the ETA-15SH.  
ETA-20SH Mounting Tabs – There are two sets of mounting tab rails. Theses rails are designed to be breakaway if they are not  
needed. Simply bend the tab back and forth until the tab breaks away.

ECM-RACEWY6 ECM Housing  
The ETA-ECM20 and ETA-ECM20M require an electrical housing. The ECM-RACEWY6 holds up to 6 ECM modules. There are  
standard ¾" and 1" electrical knockouts on the bottom of the raceway to support standard electrical mounting hardware. Since the  
Raceway can house 6 ECM modules there can be 6 separate 20A AC legs coming into the Raceway for a total of 120A of power  
distribution or it could be as simple as one 20A leg. Note: All electrical wiring must be done by a certified electrician.  
All cover plates must be secured tightly. There shall be no open slots. Blank cover plates are available. Top and bottom mounting  
tabs are incorporated to mount inside an Atlas Rack. All rack mount rails are designed to be breakaway, if they are not needed.  
Simply bend the tab back and forth until the tab breaks away. Be careful of sharp edges.  
ECM-3BP Module Cover Plate  
The ECM- RACEWY6 can hold up to 6 ETA-ECM20 / ETA-ECM20M Modules, however it is ok to use less than 6 modules. The  
open slot on the ECM-RACEWY6 can be covered up using an ECM Module Blank Plate cover. Two of these are included with the  
ECM-RACEWY6. If not needed, discard them. If additional Blank Plates are required they can be purchased in packages of three.  
ECM-ACIN Wire Kit  
ETA offers a wire kit of stranded 12-guage UL wire for wiring the ETA-ECM20 Modules together plus additional length for wiring  
the incoming AC to an AC Mains panel. 140" of each color of Green, White and Black are included. Note: As a reference, It takes  
around a foot of wire between ETA-ECM20 modules, if they are wired on the same incoming AC Main. It is highly recommended  
that the wire needed for the job is carefully measured. It may take more than one ECM-ACIN wire kit depending on how many AC  
Mains and the distance from the AC Mains Panel. It is not necessary to use Atlas ECM-ACIN wire kit as long as it is 12-gauge and  
UL listed.  
ETA-ECM20M 20A AC Control Module  
The features, data wiring and the functionality of the ETA-ECM20M are the same as the ETA-20SH and the ETA-15SH. The  
ETA-ECM20M is designed to be installed in the ECM-RACEWY6. Read above for operation details.

ETA-ECM20 20A AC Control Module (No Current Monitoring)  
The ETA-ECM20 does not support the same Current monitoring or EMI/RFI Filter feature as the ETA-ECM20M, ETA-20SH and the  
ETA-15SH models have. However, it does support AC Spike and Surge Suppression, AC Mains Voltage monitoring, EVS circuitry  
and Remote Activation.  
In certain applications ETA Systems suggests using an ETA-ECM20 Module vs. an ETA-ECM20M in places where some of the  
features would be redundant because of the electrical location of the ECM module. This would be a cost savings to use a less  
expensive ECM module where redundant circuitry is not needed.  
Example: One 20A Incoming AC line, Two sequenced AC outlets are required, use one ETA-ECM20M and one ETA-ECM20 module  
wired in parallel. Explanation: If the AC Mains system required a sequenced outlet and did not require more than 20A of service  
for a portion of the AC power system, an ETA-ECM20M module can be placed in parallel with an ETA-ECM20M module. It is not  
necessary to have Amperage readings from both ECM Modules because you can read the current from the ETA-ECM20M Module  
which could be in parallel with an ETA-ECM20 Module which is on the same incoming AC line as the ETA-ECM20M module. They  
would have the same current reading because they are in parallel. Also, the EMI and RF filtering are across the same AC line leg,  
so both ECM Modules connected to that line are filtered, no need to have redundant filtering. Note: In this wiring configuration  
you still get the Voltage monitoring to see if the module is active and have extra surge protection. See ECM Module wiring  
configurations.  
ECS-KSW6  
The ETA-ECS6 can be remotely activated with each channel being monitored by using  
the Atlas Power ECS-KSW6 control panel available through ETA Systems. This panel  
can be placed several hundred feet away from the ETA-ECS6 controller. A Keyed On  
/ Off switch is provided for security. There are six Bi-Color LEDs on the ECS-KSW6  
panel. One LED for each of the six sequenced channels of the ETA-ECS6. These  
LEDs mimic the Channel Activation LEDs that are on the front of the ETA-ECS6 panel.  
Please refer to that section for complete details. Wiring the ECS-KSW6 panel requires  
a RJ45 connector and 8 conductors. Note: This is not an IP Ethernet port and is only  
used for connectivity between ETA-ECS6 and the ECS-KSW6 units. Wiring of this  
connector is the same as an Ethernet cable. Do not mis wire the connector or damage  
may occur.

EXAMPLES ETA-ECM20/M20RW MODULE WIRING CONFIGURATIONS  
The ETA-ECM20/M20RW is designed to be mated with the ECM-RACEWY6 housing and the ETA-ECS6RM controller. The specific job  
AC power requirements and power distribution layout will dictate how the ETA-ECM20M Modules are wired into the Raceway. Each  
ECM Module can be wired as a single 20A run or in a parallel configuration as illustrated below. Each ECM module has dual 3-position  
screw terminal blocks that are in parallel and are clearly labeled as follows:  
ECM Module PCB Labeling For incoming AC Mains:  
Note: The above figure shows the ECM wiring configuration of one 20A AC main line coming into an ETA-ECM20M, then paralleling  
with an ETA-ECM20 type module.

ETA-ECS6RM  
Electrical Control Sequencer  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
Note: All troubleshooting should be done by a certified electrician.  
Issue 1 – ECM Module Incoming AC LED is not illuminated.  
Possible Cause #1  
Action Needed  
Incoming AC mains circuit breaker has tripped due to excessive load.  
Check the AC outlet that the ETA-ECS6RM is plugged into for proper voltage. If no voltage is present check  
to see if the AC outlet is on a GFI, check to see if it was tripped. If it has not been tripped trace the AC  
Mains outlet back to the electrical panel and check the AC Mains breaker to see if it is tripped.  
Possible Cause #2  
Action Needed  
AC mains power is OK (120V), internal 15A (ETA-15SH) and 20A (ETA-ECM20, ETA-ECM20M, ETA- 20SH)  
Slow Blow fuse is blown.  
Open ECM unit and replace the fuse with a Slow Blow type.  
Issue 2 – ECM module AC Fault LED is Illuminated on the ECM  
Possible Cause  
Action Needed  
Although the Clamping Suppression circuit virtually assures protection from most transient voltage spikes  
and surges, nature has a way of occasionally creating electrical forces that are beyond the capabilities of  
any device to absorb without some degree of damage. In the rare instance that this occurs, the clamping  
circuit has been damaged during the suppression.  
The unit will need to be repaired or replaced. It is important to have all equipment that was connected to  
that AC Mains Line be inspected for proper operation.  
Note: The unit will still operate but no AC Spike or Suppression protection will be available.  
Issue 3 – ECM module is set External Trigger, the Incoming AC LED is Illuminated but the Active LED is not Illuminated.  
Possible Cause #1  
External DCV from the ETA-ECS6RM is not connected across the “+” and “G” terminals of the ECM  
module.  
Possible Cause #2  
Possible Cause #3  
External DCV voltage polarity is not correct across the “+” and “G” terminals.  
External DCV voltage is too low to activate the trigger circuit. Must be a minimum of 5VDC to activate the  
ECM module. Possible short in the wiring system.  
Issue 4 – ECM Active LED is not illuminated but the Incoming LED is. The Abnormal LED on the ETA-ECS6RM voltage display  
is flashing “OL” and the ETA-ECS6RM Channel that is activating the ECM module Green Status LED is Flashing.  
Possible Cause  
The AC Mains Voltage was between 101VAC and 107VAC or 127VAC and 132VAC activating the “EVS”  
shutdown.  
Action Needed  
The ETA-ECS6RM must be re-sequenced to reset the circuit. Measure the AC mains before the ECM  
module. If the voltage is between 117VAC and 123VAC you may proceed to reset the ETA-ECS6RM by  
restarting the start up sequence.  
Note: It is important to have all equipment that was connected to that AC Mains Line inspected for proper  
operation. If the problem persists, contact your local power company for the cause of unstable AC line  
conditions.

ETA-ECS6RM  
Electrical Control Sequencer  
Issue 5 – ETA-ECS6RM Channel Activation Status LED is Flashing Green and AC Power and Active LED at the ECM Module is  
Illuminated.  
Possible Cause  
The AC Mains Voltage at the ECM Module reached between 127VAC-132VAC or the voltage dropped  
between 101VAC- 107VAC.  
Action Needed  
The ETA-ECS6RM must be re-sequenced to turn off the LED. Measure the AC Mains before the ECM  
Module. If the voltage is between 117VAC and 123VAC you may proceed to reset the ETA- ECS6 by  
restarting the start up sequence.  
Note: It is important to have all equipment that was connected to that AC Mains Line be inspected for  
proper operation. If the problem persists, contact your local power company for the cause of unstable AC  
line conditions.  
Issue 6 – No Voltage Reading at the ETA-ECS6RM  
Possible Cause #1  
Possible Cause #2  
Possible Cause #3  
Check Issues 1 - 4 first.  
Proper Channel is not selected for viewing.  
Channel Activation LED is Illuminated Green but the Voltage display is not on. Check the wiring between  
the ETA-ECS6RM Channel and the ECM module. “V”, “A” and “D” must be in the correct polarity.  
Issue 7 – No Current Reading at the ETA-ECS6RM, Meter Reads ‘nA’  
Possible Cause #1  
Possible Cause #2  
Possible Cause #3  
Possible Cause #4  
Possible Cause #5  
An ETA-ECM20 Module is connected. This module does not support current read out.  
Check Issues 1 - 4 first.  
Current Draw of ECM Module must exceed 500mA to register.  
Proper Channel is not selected for viewing.  
Channel Activation LED is Illuminated Green but the Current display reads “nA”. Check the wiring between  
the ETA-ECS6RM Channel and the ECM module. “V”, “A” and “D” must be in the correct polarity.  
Issue 8 – Not All Channel Status are Illuminated Red or Green  
Probable Cause No ECM Module connected to the ETA-ECS6RM. Note: For any of the 6 Channel Status LEDs to illuminate  
a ECM Module must be connected to the ETA-ECS6RM. It ok to use only some of the six channels and not  
have all channels illuminated.  
Issue 9 – Sequence Timing or Slave / Master Unit Dip Switches Has Been Adjusted but No Effect Has Taken.  
Probable Cause After changing of the DIP switches you must cycle the ETA-ECS6RM for the settings to take effect.  
Issue 10 – Current Meter Reads “nA” on A Selected Channel but the Channels is Functioning.  
Probable Cause #1  
ETA-ECM20 module connected. Only ETA-ECM20M, ETA-15SH and ETA-20SH modules support the current  
read out circuitry.  
Probable Cause #2  
Probable Cause #3  
The “A” terminal wire is not connected.  
The correct module type is connected, but there is not enough current being drawn to register. Note: It  
takes .7A for current draw from the ECM module for a reading.  
Issue 11 – No LEDs are illuminated on the ETA-ECS6RM and the Voltage display reads "nC".  
Probable Cause No ECM modules are connected to the ETA-ECS6RM or the ECM modules have no AC power to them.
