BSS EC-4B Ethernet Controller with 4 Buttons US Decora White

The BSS EC-4B-WHT-US is a fantastic Ethernet wall controller designed for Harman HiQnet systems. It can control and monitor parameters in BSS Audio Soundweb London, Crown DCi series amplifiers, and other HiQnet devices. You can choose between black and white colors and either the single-gang US Decora or EU form factor. It has a single Ethernet port for configuration, control, monitoring, and power via PoE. Configuring it is a breeze with simple drag-and-drop operations in the HiQnet Audio Architect software. The controller comes with four multi-colored programmable buttons and a 64x128 pixel multi-colored LCD screen. The buttons can be used for binary parameter control, preset recall, or source selection. The LCD can display custom text and graphics. It also has a sleep function to turn off LEDs after no user input, and it can be remotely locked and unlocked or locally unlocked with a four-digit PIN. The maximum network cable length is 328 feet (100 meters), power consumption is 300mA max at 48VDC, and the recommended Ethernet cable wiring is VW-1 Rated, 48VDC, 13W.

Using the BSS EC-4B is easy. First, connect it to your network using an Ethernet cable. Then, open the HiQnet Audio Architect software and use drag-and-drop operations to configure it according to your needs. The four buttons can be programmed for different functions like muting, recalling presets, or selecting sources. The LCD screen will show you relevant information. When there's no user input for a while, the sleep function will turn off the LEDs to avoid distraction. To wake it up, just interact with the controller. You can lock and unlock it remotely through other control systems or enter a four-digit PIN on the buttons for local unlocking. For maintenance, keep it clean and avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. Make sure the network cable is properly connected and in good condition. If you encounter any issues, check the cable length (it should be within 328 feet or 100 meters) and the power consumption (300mA max at 48VDC).
