The AtlasIED ECM-20 is a professional 20-amp AC power conditioner and surge suppressor designed to protect commercial audio, video, and electronic equipment from potentially damaging AC power disturbances. Featuring spike and surge suppression, EMI/RFI noise filtering, and Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) protection, the ECM-20 provides dependable power management for professional AV installations.

Designed for 120V, 60Hz electrical systems, the ECM-20 can operate as a standalone power protection device or as part of a larger AtlasIED ECS power management system.

When integrated with a compatible ECS controller, the ECM-20 supports remote power activation and AC mains voltage monitoring over distances of up to 1,000 feet.

The ECM-20 also works with the optional AtlasIED ECM-RACEWY6 enclosure, providing additional installation flexibility for professional equipment rooms and commercial AV applications.

With two AC outlets, status indicators, and integrated power protection circuitry, the AtlasIED ECM-20 offers a practical solution for protecting valuable electronic equipment in commercial audio and video systems.

20-Amp Power Conditioning for Professional AV Equipment

The AtlasIED ECM-20 provides a 20-amp current rating for compatible professional audio and video equipment.

Its two AC outlets allow connected equipment to benefit from the unit's integrated power protection features.

Typical applications include:

  • Professional audio processors
  • Commercial AV equipment
  • Audio distribution systems
  • Control equipment
  • Video system components
  • Other compatible electronic devices

The ECM-20 is intended for installations requiring 120V AC power and appropriate 20-amp electrical service.

Connected equipment loads must remain within the unit's rated capacity and applicable electrical requirements.

AC Spike and Surge Suppression

The ECM-20 incorporates clamping spike and surge suppression circuitry designed to help protect connected equipment from transient AC voltage disturbances.

Electrical transients may result from switching events or other disturbances on the AC power line.

The ECM-20's suppression circuitry helps reduce exposure to these events before they reach connected equipment.

Manufacturer-listed surge specifications include:

  • Minimum spike clamping voltage: 460 VRMS at 3000A
  • Maximum spike clamping voltage: 6,000V

These ratings describe the manufacturer's specified protection characteristics and should not be interpreted as the unit's normal operating voltage.

For professional AV installations, integrated surge suppression provides an additional layer of protection for connected equipment.

EMI and RFI Noise Filtering

Commercial electrical environments can contain electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference generated by nearby equipment and electrical systems.

The AtlasIED ECM-20 includes EMI and RFI filtering designed to reduce unwanted electrical noise entering connected equipment through the AC power line.

This filtering can be useful in installations involving:

  • Professional audio systems
  • Commercial video equipment
  • Signal processing devices
  • Paging and background music systems
  • Sensitive AV electronics

By helping reduce conducted electrical interference, the ECM-20 supports cleaner power delivery to compatible connected equipment.

Extreme Voltage Shutdown Protection

The AtlasIED ECM-20 features Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) circuitry designed to protect connected equipment during abnormal AC voltage conditions.

The unit's specified operating voltage range is:

102–132VAC

EVS protection helps address potentially harmful voltage conditions outside the intended operating range.

This feature is especially valuable in commercial installations where equipment may remain connected to AC power for extended periods.

The ECM-20 provides protective shutdown functionality; it does not regulate incoming voltage or supply battery backup power.

Standalone or Remote-Controlled Operation

The ECM-20 can be used as a standalone power protection device or integrated with a compatible AtlasIED ECS power management controller.

In standalone applications, the ECM-20 provides local power control and protection for connected equipment.

When connected to a compatible ECS controller, the unit supports remote activation and AC mains voltage monitoring.

Remote control connections can extend up to 1,000 feet, providing installation flexibility when power equipment is located away from the main control position.

This capability makes the ECM-20 useful for commercial AV systems where centralized power management is required.

Convenient Power and Status Indicators

The AtlasIED ECM-20 includes controls and indicators designed to simplify everyday operation.

These include:

  • Manual/automatic On/Off switch
  • Incoming AC presence LED
  • Active outlet status LED
  • Remote control capability with compatible ECS equipment

The incoming AC indicator helps technicians verify that power is available to the unit.

The active outlet indicator provides a convenient visual reference for the status of the controlled outlets.

These features can simplify system checks and troubleshooting during installation and maintenance.

Compatible with AtlasIED ECM-RACEWY6 Enclosure

The ECM-20 is designed for integration with the optional AtlasIED ECM-RACEWY6 enclosure.

This enclosure supports compatible ECM module installations and provides additional flexibility for professional power distribution arrangements.

It can be useful in commercial AV installations requiring multiple controlled or protected power connections.

The enclosure is sold separately, and installation should follow AtlasIED's instructions and applicable electrical codes.

Compact Design for Commercial AV Installations

The ECM-20 features a compact housing designed for integration into professional AV power management systems.

Its dimensions are:

  • Height: 3 inches
  • Width: 8.5 inches
  • Depth: 3.5 inches

The unit's compact size makes it suitable for equipment installations where available space is limited.

Its low 0.5-watt power consumption also supports efficient operation.

The ECM-20 carries a MET safety listing to UL 1449, as specified by AtlasIED.

Ideal Applications for the AtlasIED ECM-20

The AtlasIED ECM-20 is suitable for professional installations requiring AC surge suppression, power conditioning, and optional remote power management.

Typical applications include:

  • Commercial AV equipment rooms
  • Professional audio installations
  • Corporate conference facilities
  • Houses of worship
  • Educational institutions
  • Commercial paging systems
  • Background music systems
  • Video distribution equipment
  • ECS-controlled power management systems
  • Equipment racks requiring AC surge protection

Its combination of surge suppression, EMI/RFI filtering, and remote control compatibility makes it a versatile power protection component for commercial AV systems.
