Performing a Quick Setup
Quick Setup is used to set up your rack using a minimum amount of data to achieve a basic
configuration.
You can begin a quick setup by navigating to [Setup]>Quick Setup>[Enter].
From this interface you can use the CEM3 interface to enter data in up to four fields to
quickly establish your rack configuration: Rack Number, First Circuit, Numbering, and
Dimmer Double (see below for field descriptions).
Once you have entered data in the desired fields, select [Go] and press [Enter] to save the
setup changes.
Rack Number
Enter a reference number between 1-999 to identify the rack. Default is 1.
First Circuit
Enter the desired number for the first circuit in the rack. If this is your first or only rack, this
number is typically 1. If this rack is one of many in your system, this number typically
continues the numbering sequence from the previous rack. Default is 1.
Numbering
Choose between “Straight” or “Balanced”. “Straight” results in circuit numbering that will
proceed sequentially straight through the entire rack. See
Straight (rack numbering), page
for more information.
“Balanced” results in circuit numbering that will distribute the circuits evenly across the
different power phases so that neighboring circuits do not place an uneven load on any
phase. See
Balanced (rack numbering), page 10
for more information.
Default for Sensor3 installed racks (SR3)is “Balanced”. Default for Sensor3 portable racks
(SP3) is “Straight.”
Dimmer Double
Choose between “Yes” and “No” to activate or deactivate dimmer doubling for the rack.
Default is “No” (see
Dimmer Doubling (UL/ 120V 60 Hz systems only), page 11
).
N o t e :
Prior to performing a Quick Setup, make sure that your rack DIP switch settings
are set appropriately for your rack type. See
for more information.
C A U T I O N :
Quick rack setup will overwrite some of the data in your rack. Only perform a quick
setup when you wish to reconfigure your system or are instructed to do so by ETC
Technical Services.
