Chapter 1

Prepare for Installation

Unpack and Inspect

Before you begin installation, check your shipment and confirm it arrived complete and
undamaged.

Step 1: Check the shipping container for physical damage.

Step 2: If you find damage, document it 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, contact your dealer or nearest ETC office.

Main Circuit Breaker Protection

Before beginning installation of your Sensor3 dimmer rack(s), make sure you have installed
a main circuit breaker cabinet or other readily accessible input power disconnect device.
See Appendix A: Sensor3 CE Rack Specifications, page 34, for individual rack power
requirements.

WARNING:

Dimmer racks installed without an accessible power disconnect device
cannot be serviced or operated safely.

Energising the System

Sensor3 racks should only be energised by an authorised ETC representative. Wiring
errors in unauthorised installations may endanger personnel or cause system damage and
failure.

WARNING:

CAUTION:

Do not attempt to energise the system without proper approval. Energising
the system without correct inspection may result in serious injuries.

Energising your system without proper inspection may result in equipment
damage that may not be covered under your warranty!

Use 90°C Copper Wire

Use only 90°C-rated copper wiring installed in accordance with all applicable electrical
codes.

CAUTION:

A two-wire circuit with separate phase and neutral conductors is required for
every branch circuit that will be connected to the dimmer rack. Shared neutral
circuit arrangements are not recommended for phase-control dimming systems
due to harmonics and potentially elevated neutral currents in a shared neutral
arrangement.

For retrofit installations where shared neutral circuits are already installed, or track
lighting installations where the track has a shared neutral, consult ETC Technical
Services for rack installation guidelines.

The Neutral of the supply to the dimming system should have at least the same
cross-sectional area as the phase conductors

Where to Mount the Rack

Sensor3 dimmer racks require 25cm of top clearance
for proper airflow through the cabinet. To allow the door
to open sufficiently to install and remove modules,
install the rack with 41cm of front clearance and 15cm
clearance to the left of the door hinge from walls or
other equipment.

Note:

Additional Sensor3 racks of the same size are
the single exception to the 15cm left clearance
rule. They can be installed side by side without
problems.

Dimmer Room Requirements

• A main circuit breaker cabinet or other readily
accessible input power disconnect device.

• A clean (not dusty) temperature-controlled
environment

• Restricted public access to prevent tampering

• Soundproofing or performance area separation to
muffle ventilation fan noise

Please see Appendix A: Sensor3 CE Rack

Specifications, page 34, for environmental details.

Wire Routing

ESR3-12 racks are normally wall-mounted. ESR3-24
racks can be wall or pedestal mounted. ESR3-36 and
ESR3-48 racks are designed to be free standing.

Install racks with the CEM3 about 100cm from the floor. In ESR3-12 and ESR3-24 racks,
the CEM3 is in the bottom slot. In ESR3-36 and ESR3-48 racks, the CEM3 slot is in the
middle.

Sensor3 racks have access panels at the top and bottom, and conduit knockouts at the
side. Line and load wiring can enter from the top or bottom. Control cables can enter from
the top, bottom or side. Signal and power wiring must be run in separate conduits.

Installation of Racks

Mounting the Rack

• ESR3-12 racks are normally wall-mounted.

• ESR3-24 racks can be mounted to a wall or floor-mounted on an optional pedestal.

• ESR3-36 and ESR3-48 racks are floor standing.

Mounting Racks on a Wall (ESR3-12 and ESR3-24)

The wall must be strong enough to hold the racks. Please see Appendix A: Sensor3 CE

Rack Specifications, page 34 for rack and module weights.

Step 1: Determine where your rack will be installed using Figure 1: Sensor3 rack

clearances on page 4 and use the appropriate diagram from Figure 2 to mark

your mounting holes.

Step 2: Use the mounting slot dimensions to mark the hole locations. You must supply

your own M10 mounting hardware.

Step 3: Drill the holes and install the hardware.

Step 4: Attach the rack to the wall.

Figure 2: ESR3-12 and ESR3-24 wall mount hole diagrams

2 Installation of Racks 5

Installing ESR3-36 and ESR3-48 Racks on the Floor

Step 1: Determine where your rack will be installed using Figure 1: Sensor3 rack

clearances on page 4 and use the appropriate diagram from Figure 3 to mark

your mounting holes.

Note:

Step 2: Drill the holes and install your own M10 mounting hardware.

Step 3: Position the rack in the desired location.

Step 4: Adjust the leveling feet with an open ended 12mm spanner until the rack is level

Note:

Step 5: Secure the rack to the floor using your mounting hardware.

Sensor3 racks of the same size are the single exception to the 15cm left clearance
requirement. They can be installed side by side without problems.

and vertical.

Sensor3 installation racks are tall, narrow, and heavy. Use caution to keep racks
stable until the rack is secured to the floor or wall.

Pedestal Mounting an ESR3-24 Rack

Step 1: Use Figure 3 to mark the location of the ESR3-24 mounting holes. The ESR3-24

pedestal has the same floor mounting dimensions as the ESR3-24 rack.

.

Note:

Step 2: Drill holes or mount floor hardware and position the pedestal on them.
Step 3: Secure the pedestal base to the floor.
Step 4: Position the rack on the pedestal and align the mounting holes.

Step 5: Bolt the rack into place.

You must supply M10 mounting hardware. The pedestal has four mounting holes
into the floor and four securing the rack.

Racks installed on the floor or a pedestal can also be secured to a wall for greater stability.

Step 1: Prepare the rack for floor or pedestal mounting (Installing ESR3-36 and ESR3-

48 Racks on the Floor, page 6 or Pedestal Mounting an ESR3-24 Rack, page 6).

WARNING:

Note:

Make sure the holes for the mounting hardware are located where the
hardware cannot come into contact with electrical wiring. Make all
modifications in accordance with your country’s electrical codes.

Step 2: Mark the locations for your securing hardware on the wall.

• For ESR3-12 or ESR3-24 racks, use the diagram in Figure 2 to determine
where you need to install your hardware.

• For ESR3-36 and ESR3-48 racks, put the rack in position and mark the holes
directly.

Step 3: Drill holes or install mounting hardware in the marked locations.

Step 4: Finish mounting the rack to the floor or pedestal.

Step 5: Attach the rack to the wall with your securing hardware.

Be sure to level your racks before marking the hole positions.
