WattStopper ELCU-200 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the WattStopper ELCU-200 emergency lighting control unit actually do in an emergency lighting circuit?
The ELCU-200 works as both a control device and a shunt. In normal operation it lets the emergency fixtures switch off with the rest of the lighting instead of burning around the clock. When it senses a power failure on the circuit it is watching, it shunts the emergency fixtures full on so the space stays illuminated. That is the whole point of the device: emergency heads that stay dark and out of the way until they are needed.
2) Can the ELCU-200 be tested without pulling the breaker?
Two ways to test it. There is an integral push-to-test button on the unit that puts it into a true emergency condition, and it accepts a WattStopper EMTS-100 Remote Test Switch so the test can be triggered from a location that is easier to reach than a ceiling or a junction box. For a facilities crew doing monthly emergency lighting checks in a corridor or stairwell, the remote switch is usually the difference between a one-person test and a ladder.
3) Will the ELCU-200 fit in a standard junction box knockout?
The ELCU-200 is built for KO mounting, so it lands on a knockout in a junction box or fixture housing rather than needing its own enclosure. Body size is 4.0 in deep by 3.0 in high by 2.15 in wide, about 25.8 cubic inches of displacement, and it weighs 0.43 lb. Check the free volume in the box you are mounting to, since roughly 26 cubic inches of device plus your conductors is what has to live in there.
4) Can I put emergency lights on an occupancy sensor if I use an ELCU-200?
That is exactly the problem this unit solves. Emergency fixtures on a sensor-controlled or dimmed circuit would normally have to be left always on to stay compliant. The ELCU-200 sits between the normal circuit and the emergency fixtures and works alongside WattStopper occupancy sensors, daylighting controls, lighting control panels, and dimmers, so those fixtures follow the control strategy in normal use and go to full output when the circuit loses power.
5) What is the WattStopper part number for the emergency lighting control unit, and is there more than one version?
One model, ELCU-200, and that is the manufacturer part number you order by. There are no finish, voltage, or configuration variants to specify.
6) Does the ELCU-200 monitor the whole panel or just one circuit?
Local, single circuit. The ELCU-200 senses a power failure on the one circuit it is wired to and drives its emergency fixtures from that. It is not a panel-level or building-level transfer scheme, which is why it is normally installed one per area, near the fixtures it controls, instead of centrally.
7) What is zero cross switching on the ELCU-200 and does it matter for me?
Zero cross switching times the relay operation to the point where the AC waveform crosses zero, so the contacts are not making or breaking under load current. WattStopper specifies it on the ELCU-200 for reliability and longer product life. On a device that may sit for months and then has to transfer on the one night it matters, contact life is the spec worth caring about.
