Initial settings
Some settings for the Matrix rack are made during installation only, and many of the
channel configuration settings may only rarely be changed after the commissioning
period. Some other settings may be changed regularly on a show-by-show basis
(e.g. non-dim operation).
The initial settings required are to program the processor to search for a particular
number of Matrix ‘devices’ in each rack, and to choose the power ratings for each
Matrix device.
To check the number of modules (devices) programmed for use in the rack:
This menu defines the number of modules in use in the rack, and is set at the time of

adjacent channels operating as one.
This function is only available for the modules 4x3kW and 2x5kW sine wave
