Section 1
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 tran sit 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.

amount of structural change in the framework can prevent the

Step 1: Check all shipping containers for physical damage.

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
against your shipper.
sure your order is complete.
Main Circuit Breaker Protection
Before beginning installation of your Matrix Mk.II dimmer rack(s), make sure a main circui t break er
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:
CAUTION:
Energizing the system without ETC approval may result in serious
Energizing your system without ETC approval may result in equipment
damage that may not be covered under your warranty!
Preparation for Installation

Local Requirements
European Requirements
Matrix II has been designed to European standards for electrical switchgear
EN60439. It is CE marked. See Appendix C: Matrix II Declaration of Conformity.
Ensure that all European electrical health and safety, and working directives are
met when installing Matrix II.
Power Supply Requirements
Standard Matrix II racks are designed for operation with a single 3-phase star
380V – 415V RSTNE supply. Special order delta wired racks and multiple feed
racks are outside the scope of this manual. Contact your local ETC distributor for
more information. Please see Appendix B: Matrix Mk.II+ Rack Specifications, for
electrical specification detail s.
Supply Cable Requirements
Main power supply cables must be suitable for the type of dimming installation, the
anticipated load (with diversity factor) and to meet local regulations. Single
conductor or stranded conductors in either copper or aluminium may be used with
suitable terminations. Phase bars include 10mm (M10) bolts for termination of
mains power.
Load Cable Requirements
Cables connecting the dimmer outputs to load sockets must be suitable for the
type of dimming installation, for the anticipated maximum load and to meet local
regulations. Matrix II is designed for 3-wire per circuit load wiring (phase, neutral
and earth). Installati ons with s har ed neutr al conn ect ion s can not be used w ith
modules incorporating RCD protection.
Data Cable Requirements
Ethernet data cables should be at least CAT5 rated, and CAT6 is recommended
for dimming installations due to its increased bandwidth and future upgrade
potential.
