Page 6: Warnings And Safety
Warnings & Safety Do not remove the covers without first completely disconnecting Chilli Pro from the mains supply. This product must be earthed. This equipment is designed for professional stage lighting control and is unsuitable for any other purpose. It should be used by, or under the supervision of, an appropriately qualified or trained person. -
Page 7: Installation
Installation The unit should be installed in a dry ventilated location, where ambient temperature and humidity are within the operating range of the unit. The units have ventilation slots / heatsink on all sides to allow convection cooling and under no circumstances should these be blocked. - Page 8 Chilli Pro 12 & 24 are designed to run on a nominal 230V 50Hz 3-phase supply, with a maximum 100A per phase. However, all variants of Chilli Pro without RCDs can be converted to single phase operation. This results in a total 100A maximum input.
- Page 9 Chilli Pro 12 The Chilli Pro 12 has the following knockouts: Top 2 x Ø50.0mm,1 x Ø32.0mm Bottom 2 x Ø25.5mm Appropriate cable glands should be fitted to the knockout holes provided to protect the mains cables from damage. The channel (load) cables are connected to the terminal strips located on the top right of the unit. The outputs will accept a maximum 6mm cable.
-
Page 10: Alarm Input
There is a dedicated terminal for the live and neutral of each output circuit. Channels 1 to 12 are on the left hand side, and channels 13 to 24 are on the right hand side. A shared Earth bus bar is mounted on the chassis of the dimmer for channels 1-12, and a separate bus bar for 13-24. - Page 11 Network Connection All network and control cables should enter the dimmer through the segregated route at the bottom of the dimmer. Segregation between control data cabling and power wiring should be maintained for reasons of safety and noise immunity. Control data cabling should be run in separate or divided metal trunking or conduits. Where cables are run outside trunking or conduits there should be 300mm separation between them and where they cross they should do so at right angles.
