Mechanical Considerations

LOCATION
The rack should be installed on an industrial grade floor with sufficient load capacity to support it. For rack weights and dimensions,
see "Specifications" on page 51. The room must be dry and must have sufficient volume to allow exhaust air to circulate and cool. If
an undersized room is used, it must have air handling which is adequate to maintain the specified ambient temperature range (see
"Specifications" on page 51).
WARIG! Rated for indoor use only.

CLEARANCES
The rack must have a minimum of 18 inches of clear space above it for exhaust air and a minimum of 36 inches of clear floor space
in front of it. Single racks or the right-most rack of bused racks require 2 inches of space to the right. See Figure 1 on next page for
rack clearances. Refer to the National Electrical Code and local electrical codes to determine whether additional clearance around
the rack is required.

ROUTE LINE AND LOAD WIRING


Line Power wiring may enter the rack through removable plates on the top or bottom. See Figure 1 on next page.

ROUTE CONTROL WIRING


DMX512 and/or Ethernet control wiring may enter the rack through knockouts in the top or bottom of the rack. Please note that the
low-voltage wiring compartment is located at the top of the rack. If control wiring enters the rack through the bottom, it may be run
through either of the hollow sides of the rack to the top compartment. See "Control Wiring" on page 21 for details.
Control wires may also enter through side knockouts (see Figure 12 for knockout placement.) Load and Line wires should always
enter the dimmer rack through a knockout via conduit. Check your local electrical code for more information.
You must have access to a main circuit breaker or other power disconnect device before installing any wiring. Failure to disconnect
power before installing or servicing your dimmer rack may result in injury or death.
: You must have access to a main circuit breaker or other power disconnect device before installing any wiring. Be
sure that power is disconnected by removing fuses or turning circuit breaker off before installation. Installing the device with
power on may expose you to dangerous voltage and damage the device. A qualified electrician should perform this installation.
: This product is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local or Federal
code specifications. To ensure full compliance with all codes and regulations, check with your local electrical inspector prior to
installation. To prevent electrical shock, turn off power at fuse box before installation.
: Capio Plus IGBT Dimmer Rack electronics operate at line voltage potential! They are electrically isolated by
optically coupling the input and output data streams. DO NOT connect non-isolated test equipment to the circuit common point
in the dimmers. Destruction of the dimmer and test equipment and possible injury to personnel will result. Measurements of
input and output voltages must be referenced to Power Line Neutral only.
: This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with this instruction manual may cause interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide

Line Power Wiring

C ONNECTION O RDER
The Capio Plus IGBT Dimmer Rack is designed to be wired from the front. For this reason it makes sense to complete the connections at the back of the rack first, and the ones at the front last. We recommend connecting the Line Power wiring and Grounds (if
applicable) first, and the Load Neutral and Load Hot wires last.
Important: Dress wires neatly. Extra wire inside the rack can restrict airflow.

C ONNECTING L INE P OWER W IRING (S INGLE R ACKS )


You must have access to a main circuit breaker or other power disconnect device before installing any wiring.
Failure to disconnect power before installing or servicing your dimmer rack may result in injury or death.
1. Run line power wiring from the power source to the top or bottom of the rack. See "Mechanical Considerations" on page 4 for
feed routing.
2. Remove the wire access panel (Figure 16).
3. Punch holes and install conduit fittings <OR> insert lining materials in the access panel opening.
4. Replace the wire access panel if using conduit.
5. Pull the line power cables through the prepared openings.
: Wire openings must have fittings or linings to protect wire and cable insulation and to prevent air leaks.

6. Strip 1-3/8" of insulation from the end of each cable.


7. Terminate the Phase, Neutral, and Ground wires to their lugs. Line connections are labeled A, B and C (Figure 16). If necessary,
the main lugs may be re-oriented for the direction of feed.
8. Tighten the main lug set screws to the torque termination shown on the label inside the right wall of the rack (shown in part
below).

Busing Racks

Capio Plus IGBT Dimmer Racks may be bused together using the optional busing kit. To bus racks, you will need to remove the panels as described below before the racks are bolted together or secured to a wall.
To bus two or more racks together:
1. Determine which panels need to be removed. (Example: If you are busing two racks, the panel on the right side of the left-hand rack
and the panel on the left side of the right-hand rack need to be removed.)
2. Remove the eight screws as shown in Figure 17 from each panel you are removing. Save these screws - you will need them in Step
8. Remove the panels and properly recycle the material.
3. Level the racks and bolt them together (see "Mounting Several Racks Together" on page 12).
4. Remove the phase lugs from the rack(s) that will not be fed from the main.
5. Loosely attach the phase A, B, and C bus bars as shown in Figure 18. Leave hardware loose until all bus bars are in place.
6. Loosely attach the Neutral bus bar as shown in Figure 18.
7. Tighten all bolts.
8. Insert the plastic rack divider (Figure 17) between the two racks. Attach it to the left-hand rack using the eight screws and screw
holes from Step 2.

: Do not operate bused racks without the plastic divider in place. Air leaks can inhibit rack ventilation, causing
dimmers to overheat and shut down.

Load Wiring
To connect load wiring:
1. Run load wiring to the top or bottom of the rack. If your rack has the optional Ground Bus, separate the load ground wires and route
them to this bus.
ote: Load wires should not be fed through the sides of the enclosure.
2. If you have ground wires from your loads, strip 3/8" of insulation from them and connect using the torque values shown in the table
at right.
3. Separate the load neutral wires and route them to the load neutral terminals located on the neutral bus bar in the center of the rack
(see Figure 2 on page 6). Strip 3/8 of insulation from the wires and terminate them using the torque values in the table below.

CAUTIO: Use a separate wire for each neutral. Do not use common neutrals.

4. Route the load hot wires to their individual connections. The load hot terminals are located on the dimmer back plane on the left
side of the rack (see Figure 2 on page 6 and Figure 19 on the following page). If the load wires are top fed, work from top to bottom on the dimmer back plane as you connect the hots for each circuit in turn. If they are bottom fed, work from the bottom up.
Important: Follow the circuit numbers printed on the load terminal connectors. The load terminals are not sequential from top to bottom! When wiring more than one rack, remember to add 96 to the numbers in the second rack, 192 to the third, etc.
5. Strip 3/8" of insulation from the load wires. Do not exceed the bend radius shown in Figure 19 when inserting load wires.
6. Tighten all terminations to the torque values shown in the table below.
7. Dress load wires to the back of the rack.

Guardian Overview
Capio Plus IGBT Dimmer Racks can be configured using a Windows compatible personal computer running Guardian software.
Only the Guardian method provides an interface for configuring all system options. Guardian software is available in two versions:
Guardian SE (Setup Edition)
Guardian SE is used to configure Capio Plus Systems. A Guardian SE computer can be connected to the RCM several ways depending
on the type of RCM :
1. Through the RCM serial port (non-Pathport RCM).
2. Directly through the RCM Ethernet port with an Ethernet turnaround (crossover) cable (Pathport Enabled RCM only).
3. Through the RCM Ethernet port over an Ethernet network (Pathport Enabled RCM only).
Guardian NT is used to configure, monitor, and report errors for the Capio Plus System. A Guardian NT computer can be connected via
an Ethernet network, or connected directly to the Pathport Enabled RCM Ethernet port.
Guardian NT is sold as a separate upgrade to the standard Guardian SE program, and cannot be used by non-Pathport RCM systems.
Contact your Authorized Philips Lighting Controls Dealer to upgrade to Guardian NT.
If you have already purchased the upgrade to NT, it will need to be enabled by the registration process. Refer to "Registering Guardian"
below.

Connecting a PC to the Capio Plus System


A Pathport system is a data manager that utilizes a distributed network of devices that are capable of adding data to, or reading data
from the network. Because the system is distributed, every device has access to all of the information being carried on the system, and
can be configured to use the data differently than any other device on the system. The ability of every device to individually process
data provides the amazing power of Pathport.
By distributing the processing of network data, a Pathport system is able to grow and re-configure to meet the changing needs of a
facility with the minimum possible effort and expense.
Guardian software and the Capio Plus System use the industry standard Pathport network licensed from Pathway Connectivity.
Pathway Connectivity is the leading data communications company in the entertainment lighting industry. Basic setup of the Pathport
network requires the Pathport Manager application, which can be downloaded at: http://www.pathwayconnect.com

For Pathport Enabled Capio Plus Systems, the PC may be plugged into any Ethernet control port (including the Ethernet port) in the
control system using a CAT5 patch cable.
Connecting to the Control Module (Pathport Enabled RCM):
For Pathport Enabled Capio Plus Systems, to connect directly to the RCM, you will need an Ethernet turnaround cable (also know n
as a crossover cable).
Connecting to the Control Module (non-Pathport RCM):
For non-Pathport Capio Plus Systems, the PC must be plugged directly into the RCM through the serial port on the PC and RCM.
When configuring an RCM using this method, the RCM must be configured for RS232 operation.
