Getting Started
3.1
Positioning the Unit
Correct positioning and adequate ventilation are essential for reliable operation. Ensure
the transportation bag or road case is totally removed before use. The HUB24 must be
upright when in use, with clearances of 100mm behind, 200mm above and 100mm on
each side. The unit’s feet provide air intakes (front, back & 2 sides), these openings
must not be obstructed.
See section 6.2 for wall mounting details. See your Jands distributor for other mounting
options.
3.2
Connecting power
The three phase cable must be completely removed from the cable tray before applying
power to the unit.
The mains supply to the HUB24 dimmers must be protected by upstream circuit
breakers or fuses (see sections 8.2.3 & 8.2.4). If the supply cable is damaged, it must be
replaced with a cable available from JANDS or its service agents.
The power plug must be connected to an appropriately rated socket outlet. The plug’s
retaining lock ring (if present) must be screwed home.
WARNING
DAMAGE MAY OCCUR IF THE RETAINING LOCK RING IS NOT
PROPERLY SECURED.
Ensure adequate mains socket access once the dimmer is installed, to allow for
switching the HUB24 on and off.
Turn on the power and check that the three PHASE indicator LEDs are on. Check the
large display is on and not showing any faults before connecting any loads. If the
PHASE LEDs or the display indicate a fault condition, power down and remedy the
fault before trying again. See section 5.5 regarding phase faults.

The HUB24’s dimmer outputs respond to 15 DMX channels. The first channel can be
set anywhere from channel 1 to channel 512, the remaining channels will follow in
