Product Overview
The switch stations communicate wirelessly with Echoex lighting controllers to control
the internal relay and/or output dimming level. Common switch stations applications
include basic ON/OFF lighting or dimming.
A nger press upon the ON or OFF button transmits the switch event along with a
tactile feel, an audible click and (for the ON button) a LED indication of the event.
Each pair of buttons can be linked to different controllers for multiple circuit control
from one wall station.
The MBI also features Range Conrmation® which provides visual feedback of the
strength of the signal received by the controller, thereby assisting in nding the optimal
placement of the MBI.
The MBI uses 2 buttons for On/OFF operation. The ON button has a light bulb icon
with “light rays” to indicate ON. The OFF button has a light bulb icon without rays,
indicating OFF. The buttons provide both switching and dimming functionality. A quick
press of the button provides switching, a press and hold will dim lights up (ON button)
and down (OFF button) when linked to an Echoex dimming controller. A double tap
of an ON button when linked to a Echoex dimming controller will dim the light to full
ON (single tap ON will turn on the lights to the previously set level).
Preparing to Install
Careful consideration should be made when locating the controllers and stations
based on the construction materials in the space and possibility of tenant’s furniture
disrupting the transmissions. The station should be installed in the same space as the
controller device controlling the light xtures or circuits.
The MBI switch stations can be damaged by screw guns over torquing the mounting
screws. Use hand tools when installing.
The MBI switch stations need to be mounted to a rm surface. They can be ush
mounted with the screws and wall anchors (not supplied). Alternately, the station can
be mounted on a mud ring using the provided back support plate.
To mount over line voltage device boxes, please order our UL approved barrier - see
accessories for order info.
Installation Guide

Installation
1. The MBI comes with a screw-less faceplate. It is designed to stay in place with
no rattle and requires some force when mounting or removing. Remove the face
plate with a at blade screw driver, by prying the slot that is located on the center
of the bottom edge of the faceplate.
2. The MBI can be mounted with wall anchors and #6 screws (not supplied).
Determine where the station is to be located then hold the switch station to the
surface of the drywall, (ensure the station is level and plumb). Mark the locations
for the wall anchors using the screw holes as a template, then install the wall
anchors. Screw the MBI to the wall anchors. If mounting to a mud ring, hold the
MBI with the Back Support Plate behind it and screw both pieces in place.
3. Faceplate Installation: Place the faceplate over the station with the notch
on the lower edge. The faceplate clicks into place while pressing against the
plate face above and below the buttons. You should hear two loud clicks.
Alternate mounting: The MBI can be mounted to a mud ring or with a separate
order item (Barrier kit), it can also be installed on wall outlets. (See Accessories
section or data sheet for ordering information). Follow the Barrier kit
(8188K100X-X) installation instructions.
4. Test the operation of the station. The buttons should return to the neutral position
after release. An audible click is expected, and the green LED will ash on each
button press to indicate the RPS telegram was transmitted and the last measured
battery voltage is good.
Linking a Station to an Echoex Controller
The linking process requires the controller or receiver to be
mounted, powered and within range of the station to be linked.
Each receiver can support up to 20-30 switch stations, depending
on receiver model.
1. Activate LEARN or LINK mode at the receiver, if necessary refer
to the manufacturers documentation.
2. For each pair of ON/OFF buttons, press the ON button three
times in quick succession.
3. Deactivate LEARN mode at the receiver. Test operation of the
station by switching ON and OFF.
Replacing the Battery
The battery is accessible on the back of the MBI.
Faceplate Removal:
1. Push against the carrier frame around the buttons using two or three ngers on one
hand.
2. Using your other hand, take a small at head screwdriver, place the head under the
faceplate in the notch on the lower edge of the faceplate.
3. Using this hand as leverage against the wall, pull out aggressively against the faceplate,
away from the wall. NOTE: Do not leverage the screwdriver handle against the wall as
this may cause damage to the wall.
4. The faceplate will spring free captured by your ngers holding the carrier against the wall.
Unscrew the MBI from its mounting location. The battery cover slides off as indicated by the
arrow. Before inserting the new battery, press the ON button for 10 seconds to discharge
any stored energy in the station. Replace the battery with a CR2032 coin cell. The positive
side faces the slide out battery cover.
When a battery is inserted a successful station start up is indicated by a light chase sequence:
green -> yellow -> red repeated three times. Remount the MBI and snap the faceplate on (as
described in installation section - Faceplate Installation).

iNote:
When a button is pressed and a single Red LED blinks, it is
an indication that the RPS telegram was transmitted but the
battery voltage is low (less than 2.2V).
When the Red LED blinks 3 times on a button press the RPS
telegram was not transmitted and the battery is critically low
(less than 2.0 V)
A stuck button will cause a repeating red blink roughly every 5
seconds
Test Modes
1. To access tests, remove the faceplate and press the button on the side of the
unit using a ngernail, pen or small tool.
2. Press and hold the side button until all LEDs blink (about 5 seconds)
3. Tap the button to scroll through the selections. (see table below)
4. To select an item, press and hold the button until all the LEDs blink (about 5
seconds)
Test mode times out after 180 seconds.

blink (about 5 seconds)
2. Tap the button to scroll through the selections. When the yellow LED is
blinking, press and hold the side button until all the LEDs blink (about 5
seconds)
All three LED’s will blink on and off quickly for a second followed by a pause, then
repeats. When the sensor receives a range conrmation telegram from the linked
controller, the sensor displays the signal strength status for 2 seconds, see table
below.
LED - blinking Signal Strength Status
Green -41 to -70 dBm Best
Yellow -70 to -80 dBm Good
Red -80 to -95 dBm Not ideal, try moving sensor closer
None No linked controllers detected. Move sensor closer or add telegram repeating
The test will repeat every 10 seconds and run for a duration of 180 seconds.

Reserved for future use
This test mode does nothing, returns to normal operation if selected.
DEBUG: Test Button Pad
This test mode blinks the LEDs when button presses are detected. No transmissions
occur during transmissions. Button test mode will timeout after 180s and reboot the
unit. (Button activity does not reset the timeout counter.)
DEBUG: Transmit TCM APP Version
A single SIGNAL telegram (RORG 0xD with message identier byte (MID) set to 0x07)
is transmitted with the APP version of the TCM515U.
Error Codes
On power up (battery newly inserted) a weak battery will cause the red LED to blink
~ every half second.
When a low battery state has been detected during normal operation, the battery
status is blinked about once per minute (64 s). A single red blink indicates the last
measured battery voltage is between 2.0V and 2.2 V. A triple red blink indicates the
battery voltage is critically low (less than 2.0V).
A stuck button will cause the red LED to blink ~ every 5 seconds.
