CONNECTION ORDERThe Capio Plus IGBT Dimmer Rack is designed to
be wired from the front. For this reason it makes sense to complete
the connec-tions at the back of the rack first, and the ones at the
front last. We recommend connecting the Line Power wiring and
Grounds (ifapplicable) first, and the Load Neutral and Load Hot
wires last.
Important: Dress wires neatly. Extra wire inside the rack can
restrict airflow.
CONNECTING LINE POWER WIRING (SINGLE RACKS )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
forfeed routing.
2. Remove the wire access panel (Figure 16).3. Punch holes and
install conduit fittings 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).

IGBT DIMMER RACKS Installation& Operation
Capio Plus IGBT Dimmer Racks may be bused together using the
optional busing kit. To bus racks, you will need to remove the
pan-els 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, causingdimmers to
overheat and shut down.

IGBT DIMMER RACKS Installation& Operation
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
bot-
tom 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 bot-
tom! 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

FINISH AND TEST PROCEDURE
Clean Rack Interior
Remove all metal pieces, shavings, and wire scraps. Vacuum out
any dust and dirt.
Seal Air Leaks
1. Replace any access panels removed during installation, or
cover their openings.
2. Seal conduit access holes.
3. Seal any remaining air leaks using urethane aerosol foam.
: Air leaks can inhibit rack ventilation and cooling. Dimmers
may overheat and shut down without proper ventila-tion.
Double-Check All Wire Terminations
Check for misconnected wires, improperly torqued terminations,
bare wires, loose connections, and damaged insulation.
Check Line Power Wiring
Use a digital voltmeter to check resistance between phases. The
following results are typical:
Resistance phase to phase should be 10 M or higher. Resistance
all phases to ground should be 10 M or higher. Resistance neutral
to ground should be 0 . Resistance phase to neutral should be 10 M
or higher.
Check Load Wiring
Use a digital voltmeter to check resistance between the load
terminals and the neutral bus. The following results are
typical:
1 M or higher is normal when no loads are connected. Between 1
and 1000 is normal when loads are connected. Below 1 indicates a
short in the load wiring.
: Energizing the rack prior to approval will void the warranty
and may result in serious injury to yourself or dam-age to the
equipment!

IGBT DIMMER RACKS Installation& Operation
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 dependingon 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
viaan 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

IGBT DIMMER RACKSInstallation & Operation
31
A Pathport system is a data manager that utilizes a distributed
network of devices that are capable of adding data to, or reading
datafrom the network. Because the system is distributed, every
device has access to all of the information being carried on the
system, andcan be configured to use the data differently than any
other device on the system. The ability of every device to
individually processdata 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 afacility 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 Pathportnetwork
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
thecontrol 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 nas 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.
