We often get asked about wire temperature ratings and how they relate to dimmer rack wiring and the allowable number of circuits in a conduit or wireway. While the ultimate authority on wire size, temperature ratings, and conduit fill is the project electrical engineer, and then the local inspector,...

If your relays are chattering or not firing in your Sensor, Sensor+ or Unison rack there may be a problem with the neutral wire on your signal distro card. Make sure that the neutral wire is present and connected on both ends. This problem can also cause ELV10 modules to not work correctly in test mode...

When equipment goes bad out in the field, it's often extremely helpful if the owner/end user can keep track of the circumstances of the failure. This is especially true when the problem is intermittent and might not occur when the technician is present. Service Technicians are exceptionally skillful...

Most likely the rack has been configured for advanced feature dimmers and you are not using advanced feature dimmers. Call ETC Technical Service or refer to the article in this database regarding generating defaults for a Sensor rack.

Verify that the Max Scale setting for each dimmer on the CEM+ is set to about 118. Verify that the Curve setting for each dimmer on the CEM+ is set to Mod Square. If this doesn’t work, try Sensor 2.0. Make sure to check the voltage readings with an RMS meter.

The control modules for Sensor and Unison are approved as Class 2 Devices. Please contact ETC Technical Support, at 800-688-4116 , if supporting documentation is required.

Yes. Please contact your local ETC dealer to order ETC Part Number: PT143. This is a small can of beige spray paint. It is important to note that the original paint that was used to paint your racks at ETC was applied through an electro-static powder coat process and is not a liquid paint. The paint...

In non-dimmed applications, branch circuits are often installed with three circuits sharing a common neutral conductor, where each of the three circuits is on a different phase. This is known as a “multiwire” branch circuit arrangement. It is used to save costs because only four total conductors...

On ETC submittal drawings there is a line that states: Dimmer rack generates approximately 4% of connected load as heat output. Dimmer Room must have climate control. Maintain between 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Centigrade) to 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Centigrade), humidity between 30%...
