Rack Setup First Time Setup CEM3 backplanes include a dipswitch field, which is set in the factory during the manufacturing process of the Sensor3 rack. There is a dipswitch map located on the underside of the CEM3 processor for easy reference. Several items are determined by the dipswitch settings on the backplane: System Voltage: 120v or 230/240v Rack Size: 6,12,24,36, or 48 (based on the number of dimmer modules) Advanced Features Quick Setup In quick setup, you can set the rack number, first dimmer number, & straight or phase based num- bering. This will result in a rack filled with a default module type. Service and Troubleshooting General Maintenance Make regular backups of your configuration to an USB drive or over the network as detailed in the Configuration Backup & Restore section of this document. Your rack has filters fitted into the door. Every 6 months or as needed, remove and clean the filters with a vacuum cleaner. Do NOT use water or chemical cleaners in your rack or modules. Troubleshooting Display of the CEM3 is not lit up Check that power is connected to the rack. If an installed rack, check that the power disconnect is turned on. If a portable pack, check that power is connected and turned on. Check that the CEM3 is fully seated in the rack. The black latches on either side of the CEM3 should be pushed up and the CEM3 should be flush with the front of the rack. Dimmers not turning on Check that there is power to the CEM3 as described above. Check that your control source (Network or DMX) connections are ok. There may be an error message on the CEM3 display. Common error messages that might prevent dimmers from turning on include: Fan Fail - check that the fan is running & clear of obstructions. CPU Overtemp - check the temperature in the dimmer room. Voltage Too High / Too Low - check the incoming power supply to the rack. Dimmer Overtemp - check that the specified dimmer is not overloaded and check cooling. Controller Replacement The configuration for the CEM3 is automatically stored in two places: the backplane of the rack & in the CEM3. If you have to replace the CEM3, you can simply pull out the CEM3 & insert the new one. If you have to replace the backplane as well, you can reload the configuration from an USB drive as detailed in the Configuration Backup & Restore section of this document. Configuration Backup & Restore There is a USB key slot on the front of the CEM3. This is for saving the rack configuration to a USB drive for safe keeping, & for reloading the configuration if needed. To Save a Configuration 1. Press [Setup]. 2. Scroll to {Media/Backup}. 3. Press [Check]. 4. Scroll to {Save Cfg to USB}. 5. Press [Check]. The configuration will be saved with a name based on the date & time. To Load a Configuration The configuration must be in the root directory of the USB device. 1. Press [Setup]. 2. Scroll to {Media/Backup}. 3. Press [Check]. 4. Scroll to {Load Cfg to USB}. 5. Press [Check]. Panic (Setup>Panic) Panic allows dimmers to be turned on via a contact closure. Typically this is used to connect to a fire alarm system, or a simple switch system to turn on houselights. Panic is generally configured at installation. If you need to change the dimmers in thei panic preset, please contact ETC Technical Services at the office nearest to you. A list of ETC offices is given at the bottom of this page. When panic is active, the red panic LED on the front of the CEM3 will be lit and ‘Panic Active’ will be displayed. For advanced setup options and additional information, please see the CEM3 wiki at www.etcconnect.com/Sensor3help.
