4 EKO Dimmer Installation
4.1 INSTALLATION CONCEPT
Each EKO dimmer comprises of two parts;
• Installation Frame
• Dimmer Cabinet
The EKO installation is carried out in three
stages:
• Stage 1. The “Installation Frame” is
mounted on the wall and the load and
control circuits are connected to the
installation frame.
• Stage 2. The “Dimmer Cabinet” is hung
on the Installation Frame and plugged
into the load and control connectors on
the installation frame. The three phase
supply is then connected to the dimmer
cabinet.
• Stage 3. The EKO is configured for its
application.
This method allows the majority of the dimmer
installation work to be performed in stage 1,
without the dimmer cabinet present. All load
circuitry can be tested for correct connection on
the Installation Frame. The dimmer cabinet is
therefore not subjected to possible damage from
building site dust or debris or incorrect
connections.
4.2 SAFETY
All electrical work must be carried out by suitably
qualified persons.
The EKO dimmer is heavy. Ensure that the wall
mounting can support the weight. Use the
correct lifting procedures when handling the
EKO
. Refer to the specifications below for the
weight of your EKO model.
The EKO dimmer system must be fed from a
suitable external three phase circuit breaker.
The optional RCD input breaker provides
Residual Current Protection only. It does not
protect the input circuit from current overloads.
Normal operation does not require the access
door to be opened. To avoid the risk of electric
shock, disconnect the supply before opening the
EKO
for servicing. Refer any servicing to
qualified personnel.
4.3 UNPACKING
The EKO is fully tested and inspected before
leaving the factory. Upon delivery, inspect the
EKO for signs of damage or mishandling. In the
event of any damage, contact your LSC agent.
The EKO dimming system consists of two parts,
the EKO Installation Frame and the EKO
dimmer. The Installation Frame can be removed
from the EKO dimmer and given to the electrical
contractor to connect all load and control data
wiring. Whilst awaiting final commissioning of
the system, store the EKO dimmer in its original
carton in a clean and dry environment.
4.4 STAGE 1. INSTALLATION FRAME
& CABLING
4.4.1 Mounting the Installation Frame
The EKO is primarily designed for wall mounting
on a solid flat vertical surface.
Cable entry can be from above or below via the
cable entry tunnels or directly through the wall
cavity. If either the top or bottom cable entry
tunnels are not used they should be covered by
fitting the blanking plates to the Dimmer Cabinet.
Attach the Installation Frame with suitable
fixings using all 6 mounting points shown below.
Ensure that the fixings can accommodate the
weight of the EKO (see below).
The Installation Frame contains the terminals
for the load and control cables. The power
input
cable terminals are located on the dimmer
cabinet and are only connected in stage 2 when
the dimmer cabinet is hung on the installation
frame.
The mounting points, cable entry tunnels and
load cable access are similar for all models,
however the “three phase input” and DMX / LSC
Net cable access holes vary as shown in the
following illustrations.
