4 GETTING CONNECTED
4.1 Input Supply
Australian models have 3 options for input
power;
• Two 2m cables, each fitted with a
Clipsal style 32A 5-pin three phase plug.
• Two 2m cables, each fitted with a
Clipsal style 40A 5-pin three phase plug.
• One set of 5 x 400A Powerlocks.
Export (non Australian) models have 3 options
for input power;
• One 63A 5 pin CEEform connector.
• One 125A 5 pin CEEform connector.
• One set of 5 x 400A Powerlocks.
The incoming power is internally terminated to 2
three phase 63 Amp Residual Current Devices
(RCD’s). These devices are set to trip if the
residual current reaches 30mA.
RCD’s are also known as “Safety Switches”,
“Earth Leakage Breakers” or “Core Balance
Units”.
Three indicator LED’s next to each RCD show;
• Green = power available.
• Red = bad neutral connection.
• Red = fault or bad earth connection.
Connection is Three Phase Star and frequency
is automatically selected between 50Hz and
60Hz.
4.2 Control Input
The dimmers of the e24V3 can be controlled by
various sources:
• DMX 512 from a lighting controller or
console. The “DMX Input” connector is
located on the front panel. A “DMX Thru”
connector located next to the DMX Input
allows the DMX signal to be connected to
other DMX512 devices downstream. If the
“DMX Thru” is not used, the DMX signal must
be terminated by switching on the “DMX
Terminate” switch. See DMX Explained for
more details.
• Wireless DMX from the optional wireless
DMX receiver. If both cable DMX and
wireless DMX are being received, dimmer
control will be by cable DMX.
• ePlate wall controllers connected via
LSCnet can be used to recall any of the 80
memories saved in the e24V3.
See ePlates and LSCnet for details.
• The front panel LCD Touch Screen. See
Section 6.2.2: Channel Test for details
4.3 DMX Splitter
There are 5 isolated DMX outputs available from
the DMX splitter.
The DMX signal from the splitter outputs will be
the same as is currently controlling the e24V3
dimmer channels.
• If cable DMX is available, the splitter will
output cable DMX.
• If only wireless DMX is available, the
splitter will output wireless DMX.
• If BOTH cable and wireless DMX are
available, the splitter will output cable
DMX.
4.4 Load Connection
The e24V3 offers a wide selection of output load
connectors to suit many applications and
markets. See the previous section for details on
the output connector options.
Use the captive patch leads to “patch” your load
circuits to the required channels dimmer or
HOT-Power.
The maximum load of Dimming and Hot-power
on each of the 24 channels is 3,000 watts
(13Amps @ 230VAC).
4.5 Overload Protection
The e24V3 is fitted with twenty four fast acting
Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCB’s), one for
every output channel. Under normal operating
conditions the MCB’s pass the rated current and
will only trip when there is an overload through
the channel.
The MCB’s are located on the front panel of the
dimmer allowing quick visual access to which
channel has a fault or overload condition.
Channels can be manually disabled by switching
off the MCB for that particular channel.
The auxiliary single phase outputs are protected
by three RCD’s also located on the front panel.
