Installing the Processor and Modules
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. If different styles of module are planned for racks within the system, refer to the
installation documentation to identify which modules are to be used in each rack.
Installing the Processor
Step 1: Locate the processor module and check that the MCBs on the front panel
Step 2: Slide the processor into the appropriate wide slot in the front of rack. This
Step 3: Switch all MCBs on (levers to the up position).
Step 4: Observe the processor powering up which, after a short time, will be
Step 3: Use the screws supplied with the processor to fix the unit in place.
Identifying modules
There is a wide range of modules available with the Matrix II system
is important to fit them in the correct slot if a selection of modules has been specified with the system.
Each type of module sharing the same capacity and quantity of channels will fit the same appropriate
slot in the rack, but modules of different capacity and quantity of channels are prevented by keyways
in the multipin sockets.
In mixed installations where, for example, sinewave dimmers are specified for particular circuits and
SCR dimmers for others, it is important to ensure they are in the correct slot for operational reasons.
Before starting to install the dimmer modules, check system schematics and design documentation for
a schedule of which module fits in each slot.
