ETC Matrix MkII Rack - Manual (Page 10)

Matrix Mk.II Rack Installation Manual
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. Special order delta wired racks and multiple feed
racks are outside the scope of this manual. Contact your local ETC distributor for
more information. Please see
Appendix B: Matrix Mk.II+ Rack Specifications , for
electrical specification details.
Supply Cable Requirements
Main power supply cables must be suitable for the type of dimming installation, the
anticipated load (with diversity factor) and to meet local regulations. Single
conductor or stranded conductors in either copper or aluminium may be used with
suitable terminations. Phase bars include 10mm (M10) bolts for termination of
mains power.
Load Cable Requirements
Cables connecting the dimmer outputs to load sockets must be suitable for the
type of dimming installation, for the anticipated maximum load and to meet local
regulations. Matrix II is designed for 3-wire per circuit load wiring (phase, neutral
and earth). Installations with shared neutral connections cannot be used with
modules incorporating RCD protection.
Data Cable Requirements
Ethernet data cables should be at least CAT5 rated, and CAT6 is recommended
for dimming installations due to its increased bandwidth and future upgrade
potential.
