Important safety information
This system uses 3-phase power and can be a serious hazard to
health.
This manual is however not a safety manual.
The system should be installed and operated only by a competent person.
When installing you should check local regulations regarding the
separation of lighting fixtures on different phases (see also section 6 One
Phase per multipin Outlet). If you are in any doubt as to the safe
installation of the system you should employ the services of a qualified
electrical contractor.
Do not operate the system with any dimmer modules missing because this
makes live parts accessible.
Blanking plates are available from avolites to allow modules to be removed
and the rack used. If you do want to use the system with a module
removed fit the blanking plate (Avolites part number
17-80-0129)
If Cam-lok
loop-out terminals are fitted, ensure that cables or covers are
fitted to the loop-out terminals before turning on the power, as live parts
are otherwise exposed.
Before turning on the ART2000 rack, ensure that the neon power
connection lights on the control panel are correctly illuminated. These
lights will indicate most connection errors. The system may be damaged if
it is turned on with the power feed connected incorrectly.

Quick start instructions
When connecting the power feed to the system, ensure EARTH is
connected first, then NEUTRAL, then the PHASE conductors. The system
requires a 3 phase (TN-S) mains supply.
Ensure that the Bay and utility breakers are turned off and the optional
RCD breakers are turned on before you turn on the power feed.
Turn on the dimmer feed and check that the “Connection” neons are
correctly illuminated (top 5 on, bottom 2 off). Check that the voltage is
what you expect using the voltmeter. If not OK, correct the fault before
going any further.
Power up the control module by turning the rotary switch below the
Connection neons to R, Y or B to select the phase you want to feed the
electronics from (normally phase R).
You can now turn on the Bay and Utility breakers and use the ART2000
system.
To turn the system off, reverse the above procedure.
It is preferable not to use the RCB as an ON/OFF switch, as arcing may
reduce the RCB’s protecting ability.
