Introduction Welcome to the installation manual for Matrix® Mk.II dimmer racks. This manual contains the procedures for safe and efficient installation of Matrix Mk.II rear access racks and swing frame racks and includes information on electrical wiring installation and the complete dimming system checking. It does not include programming and commissioning as these subjects are described in the relevant ETC operational manuals. How To Use This Guide Use this guide during system installation.

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 transit boxes. Each rack has an identification label mounted inside the rear door with a serial number and CE mark.
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.
Dimmer Room Requirements Location o A clean (not dusty) temperature-controlled environment o Restricted public access to prevent any unauthorised tampering with the dimmer settings o Soundproofing or performance area separation to muffle ventilation fan noise. Please see Appendix B: Matrix Mk.II+ Rack Specifications, for environmental details.
Accessibility Allowing space around the rack (Rear access racks) o Rear access racks require adequate space in front to remove and replace modules (minimum 80cm, 150cm recommended) and rear access to allow the rear door for ventilation purposes and so that the door can be opened fully for installation and maintenance access (minimum 100cm, 180cm recommended). o Racks may be positioned with their side to a wall surface, and may be located side to side as required.
Section 2 Positioning of Racks Description (Rear Access racks) Rear access racks are available in 160cm or 200cm high versions and are available in 4 standard module configurations for each version. Both height versions are 60cm wide and 80cm deep. Each rack is supplied with two side covers. The supplied intermediate side panels may be discarded between racks.
Positioning Racks The racks are heavy, so it is advisable to prepare carefully before moving the racks into their final position to avoid having to reposition racks if something is not ready, or the racks are not positioned in the correct order.
Section 3 Installing Main Supply Cables WARNING: Ensure that it remains impossible to apply power to the main supply cable while installation of the main supply rack connections are being made. Ideally, connect the main supply cables to the dimmer racks before making connections to the supply switchgear. IT MUST NOT BE POSSIBLE TO ACCIDENTALLY APPLY POWER TO THE RACK DURING THIS INSTALLATION PROCESS.
Fuses The fuse protection employed in the rack provides a single 63A Siemens type D02 for each module position, and three 25A Siemens type D02 fuses for the processor. The module fuses limit the maximum current available to each module to 63A. The three processor fuses are located at the top row of the fuse panel on both the 1.6m and 2m high racks. In addition, each module incorporates a 15A 32mm A/S fuse per dimmer or switch power section.
Section 4 Installing Load Cables Terminations Terminals for the load wiring are located to the left of the rack at the rear and are accessible when the rear door is opened. The terminals for 3kW circuits are arranged in groups of three (L, N, E) corresponding to the number of channels in each row (3 modules) of the cabinet. Terminals for 5kW and 12kW circuits are located in pairs with the earth terminals located separately but adjacent to the L and N terminals.
Section 5 Installing Data Cables All Matrix II dimmer racks accept data in Ethernet and discrete DMX formats. All control connections are made at the rear of the processor module, on the data PCB that can be identified by the attached ribbon cable. There is one data PCB per rack. Use provided lance and forms as a tie off for DMX and Ethernet cables in the swing frame racks. Data PCB at the rear of the Matrix II Processor tray.
Section 6 Finishing Installation Visual inspection After the supply, load and data terminations are completed, the rack should be checked as follows: o Check all terminals and fuses have been tightened, especially the earth bonding points o Tidy all internal cables and add cable ties where needed o Remove excess or unwanted wiring o Fit the bus bar cover panel o Secure all removable panels o Remove all temporary protective covers Cleaning Before installing any electronics modules, ensure that th
Section 7 Check Power Installation Checking main power wiring WARNING: Power must be turned OFF when you perform this procedure. Check resistance between phases, neutral and earth busses.
Section 8 Installing the Processor and Modules CAUTION: Before unpacking and installing the electronic modules into the Matrix rack, ensure that all terminals have been correctly tightened, the rack is clean and any protective plastic has been removed. Identify the modules used in the system and separate the processor from the Matrix II modules. Locate the operator manuals from the processor and modules as these will be required during the installation process.
Installing the modules WARNING: Do not force any module into a connector if resistance is felt. This could mean that the wrong module is being inserted into the slot, or that the connector has a damaged pin. CAUTION: SWING FRAME RACK Before installing any modules, close the swing frame and lock it. Step 1: Locate the correct module for each slot and check that the MCBs / RCBOs on the front panel are switched off. Note that any blank spaces in the rack should be fitted with ‘airflow’ modules.
Section 9 Preventative Maintenance ETC Matrix II dimming systems are designed for long and reliable service, but will benefit from annual checks of parts of the system. This section outlines the sort of checks which should be part of any regular maintenance regime.
Appendix A Troubleshooting Power loss Total power failure If all power to the rack fails (if it is not already obvious, the processor’s three phase indicators will be off when there is a total power loss) initially check if the main supply breaker has tripped. If not, check if there is any other equipment supplied from the same source and whether or not that is working correctly.
To check module power and data WARNING: The Matrix rack has inherent safety from electrical shock if a module is removed with power on. However, the following checks on the rack socket connections should only be attempted by a qualified technician, It is possible to access the module sock from the front of the rack to aid fault finding.
