Echo Inspire Control Station Buttons Stick Down

Symptoms/Issue

My Echo Inspire Station buttons get stuck down and do not have good action.

Description/Explanation of Issue

Echo Inspire Stations (E1001, E1002, E1004, E1008, E1104) have a wall plate that secures to the station with built-in magnets; a plastic bezel that holds plastic button lenses, and screws that hold station into the Back Box.  When installed correctly, the buttons should freely move and should not feel sticky.

Fix/Solution

Some common ways that buttons can be sticky are:

  • The screws that hold the station in the Back Box are over tightened
    • If screws are over tightened, button activation can be negatively impacted.
  • Wall plate installed at an angle
  • Button lens installed backwards or upside down
    • Lens should be slid on from outside toward the middle, starting at the hinge
    • The lens will cover the entire button and click into place

Please see the Inspire Station Installation Guide for additional details.
