All terminations are accessible from the front of the enclosure with the covers removed. The left side
of the enclosure provides conduit entry for high voltage wires and the right side provides conduit entry
for low voltage wires.
Note:
Low voltage control cables must run in separate conduit from input power wires. To
maintain the integrity of the voltage separation inside the enclosure, a cover over the
high voltage terminations serves as a mechanical voltage barrier, separating the low
voltage power wiring from the high voltage power inside the enclosure.
WARNING:
RISK OF DEATH BY ELECTRIC SHOCK! Before installing input power to the
Mini Panel, make sure the upstream source of power is off or isolated. Follow
appropriate Lockout/Tagout procedures as described in NFPA Standard 70E.
CAUTION:
Connecting to and configuring the Mini Panel requires contact with the
printed circuit board inside the enclosure, which has electrostatic discharge
(ESD) sensitive components on it. To avoid risk of damage to the equipment,
ensure body static is discharged first by touching a grounded surface or
wearing suitable ESD grounding equipment while terminating cables.
High Voltage Wiring
High voltage wire terminations are located in the left side of the enclosure, separated from the low
voltage terminations with a high voltage cover. An additional voltage separator is available to separate
normal power and emergency power circuits within the high voltage wiring in the enclosure (as
needed).

Bridging Relays with
Normal/Emergency Power and
Discrete Fed Breakers
In this installation scenario, a single
Normal/Emergency input power
connection (line, neutral, and
ground) is bridged between the
control input and one or more relay
inputs. Additional relays can be
discretely fed from circuit breakers.
Because the input power is
Normal/Emergency, a Normal
sense feed has been added to drive
the Mini Panel to its emergency
control configuration on loss of
normal power. This circuit does not
feed a load from the Mini Panel.
Voltage separators are available
and sold separately for separating
between mixed voltage or normal
and emergency loads.
When bridging the input power,
the total load is limited to 20A
across all connected relays.
The following are sample termination scenarios for Mini Panel installations. Use these scenarios only as
a reference, and refer to your electrical and wiring plans for your specific installation requirements.
Note:
The In and Thru terminals are electrically connected on the circuit board.
10 Unison Foundry Mini Panel Installation and User Operation Manual
Note:
Note:
If any emergency circuits are fed or controlled from this panel, the panel must be
located electrically where fed from a UPS, generator, or other guaranteed source of
power during emergency and power outage situations.
Voltage barriers between normal circuits with different voltage inputs are only
required if the wiring used for 120V circuits is not rated for 277V.

About DMX Control Wiring
The Mini Panel connects to a DMX512-A source (provided by others) for control.
DMX wiring runs can be daisy chains of up to 32 devices with no Y’s or loops. Each DMX daisy chain
must be terminated for proper control performance (see
ETC recommends using Belden 9729 (or approved equivalent) Class 2 wire. Belden 1583A or
equivalent Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat 6 UTP wire is also acceptable when properly shielded or installed in
grounded metal conduit and connected using the Cat5 IDC termination kit (ETC part number
4100A1013). This termination kit is not provided with the Mini Panel. Contact ETC to purchase
termination kits if required.
The total combined length of a DMX wire run (using Belden 9729 or equivalent) may not exceed
1,000 ft (305 m).
Note:
All control wiring should be installed and terminated by a qualified installer and
should follow standard wiring installation practices.

the Emergency UL 924 Configuration
switch to one of the following options:
• NO (normally open [default])
• NC (normally closed)
• Off (disabled).
Set the Emergency UL 924 Load Shed Switch
The Emergency UL 924 Load Shed switch provides configuration to enable or disable load shedding
when an Emergency Contact input is activated (opened or closed depending on the state of the
Emergency UL 924 Configuration switch). By factory default, this switch is set to On (enabled).
Load shedding functions in conjunction with the Emergency UL 924 Inclusion switch for each output

Each output in the Mini Panel has an Emergency
UL 924 Inclusion Switch, which configures the
circuit to be included or excluded from the
Emergency UL 924 configuration. By factory
default, all outputs are set to On (included) in
Emergency.
• An output that is included in Emergency
(switch is set to On) will turn the load on to
full when the Emergency Contact input is
activated.
• An output that is excluded from Emergency
(switch is set to Off) will behave according to
the UL 924 Load Shed switch. See

Set the Demand Response Levels
When closed, the Demand Response contact input limits the maximum 0–10V level of each output to
the configured level that was determined by the Demand Response rotary fader corresponding to each
zone.
Use a precision screwdriver to change the rotary fader level to any value between 0–100%. A Demand
Response rotary fader setting of 0 turns the relay off when Demand Response is triggered. The
Demand Response rotary faders are set to 50% as a default.
Set the Data Loss Behavior
Use RDM to set the behavior of the Mini Panel when DMX is lost. The Mini Panel has three options for
data loss behavior:
• Hold last look
• Wait and fade
• Go to full (default data loss behavior)
Update the Software
You can update the software for the Mini Panel using ETC UpdaterAtor software and an ETC Gadget II
or Gateway. The SIGNAL/ERROR and POWER LED indicators, located on the low voltage side of the
enclosure, blink rapidly during software updates. See
about the LED indicators.

WARNING:
CAUTION:
1: Clean out dust, metal scraps,
or other debris from the
enclosure.
2: Check for loose connections,
bare wires, or damaged
insulation on both the low
voltage and high voltage sides
of the enclosure.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Power must be off when you perform this
procedure.
Checking the Mini Panel installation requires contact with the printed circuit
board inside the enclosure, which has electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive
components on it. To avoid risk of damage to the equipment, ensure that
body static is discharged first by touching a grounded surface or wearing
suitable ESD grounding equipment while terminating cables.
