AtlasIED ECM-15SH 115A AC Power Conditioner and Spike Suppressor

The AtlasIED ECM-15SH 15A AC Power Conditioner and Spike Suppressor is a professional power protection module designed to help protect sensitive audio, video, and electronic equipment from AC line interference, voltage spikes, and electrical surges. Featuring two protected AC outlets, EMI/RFI noise filtering, and a compact single-housing design, the ECM-15SH is ideal for commercial sound systems, AV installations, equipment racks, and distributed audio applications.

Operating on 120V AC, 60Hz power with a 15-amp current rating, the ECM-15SH helps reduce electrical interference caused by switching power supplies, motors, and other equipment sharing the AC power system. Its integrated surge suppression circuitry provides additional protection against transient voltage spikes that could otherwise reach connected equipment.

The ECM-15SH can operate as a standalone power conditioning module or be integrated with compatible AtlasIED ECS-6RM or ECS-3 power sequencing controllers for coordinated system power management.

When properly connected to a compatible sequencing controller, the ECM-15SH can also participate in an Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) system that disconnects connected equipment when incoming voltage falls below 102V or rises above 132V.

With its adjustable mounting brackets, manual bypass switch, and convenient status indicators, the AtlasIED ECM-15SH provides a practical power management solution for professional AV installations.

AC Power Conditioning for Professional Audio and Video Equipment

Electrical interference on AC power lines can contribute to unwanted noise in sensitive electronic equipment.

The AtlasIED ECM-15SH incorporates both electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) filtering to reduce unwanted electrical noise before it reaches connected equipment.

This filtering is especially useful in installations containing amplifiers, digital signal processors, mixers, video equipment, and other electronics operating near switching power supplies, motors, or electrical control systems.

By reducing conducted interference, the ECM-15SH helps maintain a cleaner power environment for professional AV equipment.

Spike and Surge Suppression

The ECM-15SH includes dedicated circuitry designed to suppress transient voltage spikes and surges entering through the AC power line.

Its protection system operates across three electrical paths:

• Hot to Neutral
• Hot to Ground
• Neutral to Ground

The module features a maximum surge current rating of 6,500 amps and a surge energy rating of 600 joules.

These protective features help reduce the risk of damage from electrical transients. Like other surge protection devices, the ECM-15SH cannot guarantee protection against every electrical event or a direct lightning strike.

Standalone Operation or Integrated Power Sequencing

The ECM-15SH can be used independently as a power conditioner and surge suppression module.

For larger professional installations, it can also be connected to compatible AtlasIED power sequencing equipment, including:

• AtlasIED ECS-6RM: Rackmount power sequencing controller
• AtlasIED ECS-3: AC power sequencing controller

Compatible control equipment allows the ECM-15SH to be incorporated into a coordinated power management system.

The module supports remote activation and control connections, allowing power operation to be managed from a compatible external controller.

This is particularly useful in installed sound systems where amplifiers and other equipment must be powered on or off in a controlled sequence.

Extreme Voltage Shutdown Protection

When integrated with a compatible AtlasIED sequencing controller, the ECM-15SH supports Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS).

This function helps protect connected equipment during sustained abnormal AC voltage conditions.

The system is designed to shut down connected power outlets when incoming voltage:

• Falls below 102V AC
• Rises above 132V AC

EVS operation requires compatible external control equipment and proper installation.

Important: The ECM-15SH provides surge suppression and EMI/RFI filtering during standalone operation. Automatic extreme-voltage shutdown requires integration with a compatible AtlasIED sequencing controller.

Convenient Status Indicators and Installation

The ECM-15SH includes three status LEDs to help installers and operators monitor power conditions:

• Incoming AC: Indicates the presence of incoming AC power.
• Active: Indicates the power module's active operating status.
• AC Fault: Provides a visible indication of an AC power fault condition.

A manual bypass switch provides an additional local control option.

The unit's compact black housing measures approximately 8.5 inches wide, 5 inches deep, and 1.75 inches high.

Adjustable side mounting brackets allow the module to be installed on suitable surfaces near professional AV equipment.
