Page 9 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.
Page 10 Matrix II. Power Supply Requirements Matrix II is designed for operation with a 3-phase star 380V – 415V RSTNE supply. Only one main supply per rack is permitted as standard. Special order delta wired racks and multiple feed racks are outside the scope of this manual. Contact your local ETC distributor for more information.
Page 11 Floor Surface Matrix II racks require a flat, stable and solid floor surface which can accommodate a load of 1000 kg/m [230lb/ft ]. If cable entry is required from beneath, a plinth with a suitable load carrying capacity is required in advance of the introduction of the racks to the dimmer room.
Page 12 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.
Page 13 Remove intermediate blanking plates to allow for free cable access. Extreme care is required when lifting Matrix II racks into position. Bolt the racks to their plinths when they are in place.
Page 14 RACK DURING THIS INSTALLATION PROCESS. Matrix II racks may be ordered with either a 400A or 600A internal busbar/fuse assembly which is located on the right side of the rear of the rack (rear access racks) or on the left side from the front (swing frame racks).
Page 15 To install main supply cables with bolt lugs fitted (bottom cable access) Remove the fuse cover panel (rear access rack) or the busbar termination cover (swing frame rack). Dress cables neatly in the rack and support the conductors using the perforated strap bars in the side of the rack to reduce mechanical stress on the busbar clamp terminations.
Page 16 Simplified schematic diagram of the circuit protection route from main supply breaker through the Matrix II busbars to a module RCBO and channel fuse to the output load. Any custom module with 4x5kW capacity is restricted to the module maximum capacity rating of 80A.
Page 17 Section 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.
Page 18 Routing load cables (Swing Frame Racks) When drawing load cables into the rack, ensure that no insulation is damaged by edges of trunking or access apertures. If the wiring has been pre-designated and includes temporary labelling to identify circuit numbers, be careful not to dislodge labels during the wiring process.
Page 19 Section 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.
Page 20 Before installing any electronics modules, ensure that the rack is free from dust, any building debris. ETC recommends that the inside of the rack is vacuum cleaned to remove any debris from the wiring installation process. Special attention should be paid to the multi-pin sockets used to connect to the processor and modules.
Page 21 Section Check Power Installation Checking main power wiring WARNI NG: Power must be turned OFF when you perform this procedure. Check resistance between phases, neutral and earth busses with a digital voltmeter (DVM): Phase to phase; resistance should be 10MΩ or higher Phases to earth;...
Page 22 Step 3: Open the rack door and check voltage between phases, neutral and earth: • Phase to phase; voltage should be between 380 and 415VAC on three phase racks and between 220 and 260V AC for single phase • Phases to neutral; voltage should be 220 to 260V AC •...
Page 23 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.
Page 24 Step 3: Observe the module powering up which, after a short time, will show a single blue power on LED if all channels are at zero (details are given in the Matrix II Module Operator manual). Step 4: Use the screw supplied with the module to fix it in place.
Page 25 Preventative Maintenance Regular 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.
Page 26 Single or dual phase failure Due to Matrix II’s distributed fusing design within the rack, a loss of one or two phases could be caused by several different faults.
Page 27 4-channel 16A sockets (for 4 channel, max 3kW modules) 6-channel 16A sockets (for 6 channel, max 3kW modules) 4-channel 32A sockets (for 4 channel, max 5kW modules (custom), 12kW etc) The 3kW (16A) and 5kW (32A) versions of the multipin sockets have standoff pillars on opposite sides to prevent incorrect modules being inserted.
Page 28 Ch 4 - N Fan not working With Matrix II, the ventilation fans are located in each module. They are activated only when the module reaches a pre-set internal temperature of 35degC, and they increase in speed in proportion to the amount of heat present.
