1.AC Mains Input – Connect the 9’ (3m) power cord to a 15A 120VAC outlet to provide power to the ETA-ECS3.

2.Sequence 1 AC Outlets – The three AC outlets are “Live” when the Sequence 1 section is activated. These outlets are recommended for products such as Computers, Modems, Routers, DSP Processors, Cable/SAT, DVD, or CRT TV’s. These outlets have a special filter circuit that is optimized to reduce interference to your Digital and Analog components. The total maximum continuous draw for this sequential section is 10A and the total current draw for the ETA-ECS3 is 15A. Note: It does not harm high current audio components to be connected to the Sequential Section 1 digital filter outlets.

3.Sequence 2 AC Outlets – The two AC outlets are “Live” when the Sequence 2 section is activated. These outlets are recommended for Analog and Digital type products such as Audio Receivers, Tape Decks, Mixers, or Video Equipment. These outlets have a special filter circuit that is optimized to reduce interference to your analog type components. The total maximum continuous draw for this sequential section is 10A and the total current draw for the ETA-ECS3 is 15A. Note: It does not harm high current audio components to be connected to the Sequential Section 2 filter outlets.

4.Sequence 3 AC Outlet – The single high current non filtered AC outlet is “Live” when Sequence 3 section is activated. This

15A NEMA outlet is designed to deliver a maximum 12A continuous current to power hungry components like amplifiers and projectors. In audio applications, peak current demands commonly exceed the continuous current ratings on AC outlets. The unit is protected by the internal AC Mains 15A breaker if excessive continuous current is drawn from the unit. It does not harm low power consuming components when connected to the Sequential Section 3 Analog filter outlets. If more high power outlets are needed or if 15A is not enough current to support your power requirements you can use the 24VDC trigger to activate an additional power outlet such as the ETA-20SH. Contact ETA Systems for AC outlet options.

5.XLR Light Socket – A 12VDC XLR light socket is to provide power for the optional Atlas Power AP-GNL18 light.

6.Light Socket Power Switch – This switch turns the XLR light socket ON / OFF.

7.Unswitched AC Outlet – This 120VAC outlet is always live when the ETA-ECS3 power cord is plugged into an AC Mains power source and voltage is present. If voltage is present at the outlets it will be displayed on the AC Mains Meter. Note: The AC Mains power switch or sequencer section does not affect the Unswitched AC Outlets. The Unswitched Outlets are protected by the surge protection circuitry but will not be shut off by the EVS circuit.

8External Voltage Sequence Trigger – The ETA-ECS3 can be activated remotely by providing DC voltages between 5VDC and 24VDC. Note: This function overrides the front panel System Activation Switch.

9.External Sequence Trigger – The ETA-ECS3 can be activated remotely by placing a Momentary Switch between the two contact points. This function is in parallel with the front panel System Activation Switch. Note: If remote activation requires a remote Hard Switch

Contact Closure (CC), we suggest using the 12VDC from the rear XLR light port, running through a remote switch and return the DC Voltage to Remote V Input Pin to activate the

unit. When the rear light switch is in the ON position, 12VDC is always present in Pin 2
regardless if the ECS-3 is activated. It will be required to use a standard XLR male connector	8	9	10
and connect to Pin 2 to access the 12VDC.

10.DC Output – The ETA-ECS3 can handle 15A of current before the breaker opens. If 15A is not enough current to support the power requirements, this output can be used to activate an additional power outlet such as the ETA-20SH. This triggered 12VDC voltage works in conjunction with Sequence 3 timing section. Contact ETA Systems for AC outlet options. Note: This DC output can also be used to power an LED indicator for a remote activation switch such as the Atlas ECS-KSW3.
