Preparing for Installation
Unpack and Inspect
Before starting the installation, check the shipment to confirm it arrived complete and undamaged. A
Matrix II rack is shipped empty of modules in a transit box suitable for movement by a pallet truck. The
modules and processor are separately packed in individual single-use transit boxes. Each rack has an
identification label mounted inside the rear door with a serial number and CE mark. Also enclosed in
the rack is a document holder for this installation manual and the rack’s schematic diagram.
CAUTION:
If it is suspected that a rack has been damaged in transit check
carefully that the chassis framework is not distorted as even a minor
amount of structural change in the framework can prevent the
modules from being inserted or removed. This is particularly
important in the case of swing frame racks, as any distrortion of the
chasis frame will prevent the swing frame opening and closing
correctly.
Step 1: Check all shipping containers for physical damage.
Step 2: If you find damage, document it with photographs to help with a claim
against your shipper.
Step 3: Unpack your order and check the contents against the packing list to be
sure your order is complete.
Step 4: If you discover a problem, call ETC Systems Group (details on page 4) .
Main Circuit Breaker Protection
Before beginning installation of your Matrix Mk.II dimmer rack(s), make sure a main circuit breaker
cabinet or other readily accessible input power disconnect device is installed. See
Appendix B: Matrix
MkII Rack Specifications , for individual rack power requirements.
WARNING: Dimmer racks installed without an accessible power disconnect
device cannot be serviced or operated safely.
Obtain ETC Approval to Energize the System
Following installation, ETC approval is required to apply power to the dimming system. Pre-approval
may be granted for some installations during the purchase process, or following a wiring inspection by
an authorised ETC representative after the system is installed. Wiring errors in unauthorised
installations may endanger operators or cause system damage and failure.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to energize the system without proper approval.
Energizing the system without ETC approval may result in serious
injuries.
CAUTION: Energizing your system without ETC approval may result in equipment
damage that may not be covered under your warranty!
