  • Page 11 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: Do not attempt to energise the system without proper approval.
  • Page 12 Where to Mount the Rack Sensor3 dimmer racks require 25 cm 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 150 mm 250 mm 41 cm of front clearance and 15 cm clearance to the left of the door hinge from walls or other equipment.
  • Page 13 Chapter 2 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) Appendix A: Sensor3 CE Rack The wall must be strong enough to hold the racks.
  • Page 14 Installing ESR3-36 and ESR3-48 Racks on the Floor Figure 1: Sensor3 rack clearances on Step 1: Determine where your rack will be installed using page 8 and use the appropriate diagram from Figure 2 to mark your mounting holes. Note: Sensor3 racks of the same size are the single exception to the 15 cm left clearance requirement.

  • Page 16 25 cm 25 cm Note: ETC’s wall mount vibration pads (ETC Part# Figure 3: Positioning a vibration pad on a wall HW6111) attach to racks with the provided bolts that are slightly larger than the top of the keyhole slots.
  • Page 17 Step 7: [Optional] If required, secure the rack to a wall using wall mount vibration pads (ETC Part# HW6111). If the vibration pads have been requested for the installation, they are included with the rack.
  • Page 18 Securing Multiple Racks (Optional) Multiple racks can be connected to each other for greater stability. Note: If you want to install the control cable through the side of the racks, you should remove the side cable knockouts before connecting the rack. Step 1: Use M8 spin lock bolts and lock nuts in the front and at the back to bolt the racks together at the bottom.
  • Page 19 Rack Cabling Access ESR3 racks have removable top and bottom access panels. Top access panel Bottom access panel Figure 7: ESR3 access panels Conduit Connections Step 1: Remove the desired access panel from the rack. Step 2: Cut access holes in the top and bottom access panels. Step 3: Install your cabling into the holes.
  • Page 20 Connect Line Power Wiring ETC recommends routing line (feeder) cables first, load neutral and load earth wires next, and load phase wires last. CAUTION: Line and load wires used with Sensor3 dimming systems must be copper. Do not connections use wire containing aluminium or other metals.
  • Page 21 Chapter 3 Land Load Wires Land Load Wires Dress and connect load wires neatly without leaving extra wire in the rack. Each dimmer has three sets of lugs connected to phase, neutral and earth. Phase and earth lugs are on the right side of the rack, neutral lugs are on the left.
  • Page 22 Step 1: Route the load wires to the rack(s). Step 2: If using Multicore cable, strip back the sheath so that phase, neutral and earth can be corrected to the relevant lugs as shown. Load Neutral (blue Load Phase wires) are landed on (brown wire) load neutral lugs attached to the main...
  • Page 23 Modules with current capacities higher than 15A are prevented from fitting into incorrect slots by the module cutout bar to the left of the rack. If you have supplied a configuration chart to ETC these should be cut out correctly for you; otherwise you will have to cut the bar on site.
  • Page 24 RCD or ND modules, and single pole modules that do not. Normally your rack will be configured by ETC at the factory for the correct module types, however if you have a mixture of modules or you have not been able to supply details of slot allocations you may need to configure some slots on site.
  • Page 25 Installing Three-Slot Dimmer Lug Strips Step 1: Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws securing the lug strip to the left side of the rack. Step 2: Remove the lug strip and replace it with one containing a three-slot Neutral jumper. Step 3: Secure the strip to the rack with the screws you removed in Step 1.
  • Page 26 Chapter 4 Control and Data Connections Sensor3 racks support a variety of control and data connections on the CEM3 backplane.

  • Page 27 Running DMX Cable to Racks Note: If the system includes a Panic circuit, stations or Remote Tracking Selection, pull the necessary wires with the data cables to all required racks. Step 1: Remove the desired top, bottom or side conduit knockout from the Figure 3:Side first rack on the left or right of the group of racks.
  • Page 28 • If the connection ends at the rack, turn termination On. • If a data connector is not used, either setting is acceptable. Note: The termination switches should not be set to the “RDM” position unless recommended by ETC. Sensor3 CE Rack (ESR3) Installation Manual...
  • Page 29 Running Ethernet to Racks Sensor3 racks use Ethernet for communication with each other and sometimes for communication with the lighting console. It is therefore important that all racks are linked via Ethernet. This may either be done using an NEFM (Network Electronics Filler Module - A network switch built into the lower slot of one of the racks) or using an external network hub or switch.
  • Page 30 Ethernet Network Termination - RJ45 Connector Step 1: Follow the directions provided in the Ethernet Termination Kit to terminate the incoming CAT5 cable in the RJ45 UTP connector in the surface mounting box. The kit is included with the dimmer rack door. Use the instructions provided with the kit for proper Category 5 cable termination.
  • Page 31 Dual Tracking Remote Select Switch connection (Optional) If desired, a remote switch can be wired to the CEM3 backplane to control CEM3 selection in racks equipped with ETC’s Redundant Tracking CEM3 option. Note: You must supply your own enclosed single-pole double-throw center-off switch to install a remote select switch.
  • Page 32 Station Connection (Optional) Sensor3 racks support ETC’s range of stations. The station network should be wired in Belden 8471 or an equivalent cable. Stations are topology-free. Wiring may be bus, star, loop, home run or any combination of these. To stations...
