ECS Lighting Controller

[SPARKYJIM007]

Hi,
I've got a problem that somebody will have come up against before.
Office lighting. Circuits approx 15 yr old. Light switch ELV which goes to a controller to switch the lights. Light switch is a rocker type- retractive i think its called. The only marking on the controller is ECS. This is located on a pull out relay. Can anyone tell me what it is, cause i need to replace the faulty unit.

Cheers JIM

As far as I know, the company ECS were bought by Philips, and when I was doing lots of new build testing about 6 years ago I came across many Philips ECS lighting controllers, so maybe they would be the first people to ask?

Lighting Controls

Just do a search for ECS on their site and a few things pop up, so it looks like the correct starting point for you!

Thanks very much.

Its been so hard trying to get info on it.
I''ll try Philips.
The building with the system is now starting to get faults' i.e. lights staying on ect.
But because iit all seems interlinked i'm dont want to remove stuff without knowing what its supposed to do first.

Cheers jim

The parts you require are probably absolute but try philips for spares and good luck Normally there is a Bus wire running to each unit which is low voltage as long as this is kept connected to allow for continuity around the remaining controllers you can remove individual switching units and adapt the wiring to suit

'Setsquare' make a similar lighting controller to the one you describe.

In particular the 'Infrapod' model.

Thanks Everyone for the info.
I replaced the retractable switches, but still the lights stayed on. As it was late, i returned the next day and somehow they had switched off. They then continued to work as intended. Strange but fixed. But the info is very usefull for the next time.

Cheers Sparkyjim
