ETC SineWave Power Module (Ethernet) - Manual (Page 13)

IES Ethernet PowerModule Operators’ Manual v1.4 Isine 13
code ‘d’ = fault has persisted beyond a
default auto-reset time, and the
dimmer has been disabled and
is now awaiting manual
intervention and reset.
The channel display indicators give the last
recorded fault condition. If the fault is a self-
resetting fault, or if the dimmer is automatically
disabled, the reason for the problem may not be
obvious from the channel display. However, a log
of the errors is shown in detail through DimSTAT,
and a summary of the history is shown using the
dimmer’s LCD screen as follows. Faults are
discussed in greater detail in Section 8 ‘Fault
finding’.
6.17.1 To check fault reports and to reset the
log
1. Press CHK.
Note: This screen never requires a password.
2. The screen shows:
ERR.STATUS: CH:01
SHORT 03
where: 03 is the short circuit error code, and
01 is the affected dimmer circuit within
the module.
3. Press Ð or Ï to view any other reports
in the error log.
4. Press ENT to leave the menu and
CLEAR the log or EXIT (to leave the log
unchanged).
6.18 Return to factory settings
The PowerModule is supplied with a set of factory
default settings and recommended software set-
up parameters. It is advisable to reset the dimmer
software to the original factory settings in the case
of a significant software update.
6.18.1 To reset the dimmer rack to factory
default settings
1. Press INST.
2. Press Ð or Ï to choose FACTORY
RESET menu. Press ENT.
3. The screen shows:
ARE YOU SURE ! !
CLEAR MEM. [NO]
4. Press Ï or Ð to select YES (shown in
square brackets).
5. Press ENT to leave the menu and reset
the PowerModule’s memory or EXIT (to
leave the previous settings unchanged).

7. DimSTAT
DimSTAT provides a system-wide network, and
operates on a host polling protocol where the PC
searches for connected dimmers at initiation, and
then regularly polls dimmers for data to display. If
a fault occurs, the PC’s display instantly shows the
detail, and if the fault is cleared the system resets
accordingly. Information displayed includes: DMX
start address per unit, DMX OK, line voltage,
current per channel, dimmer curve, response time,
maximum and minimum current, type of fault
reported (temperature, overload etc.), date and
time of fault. It is possible to set the dimmer curve,
start address and pre-heat from DimSTAT
software on the PC. The operation and
performance of the PowerModule dimmer is
monitored constantly and comprehensively by the
on-board data processors, and this information is
available on the LCD screen of the dimmer, and
through DimSTAT. The parameters measured and
reported are:
a) DMX OK
b) DMX channel numbers
c) DMX levels
d) line voltage
e) current per dimmer
f) current per phase per module
g) frequency
h) dimmer curve
i) temperature per module
j) Cosine φ (power factor including higher
harmonics)
