: You must have access to a main circuit breaker or other power disconnect device before installing any wiring. Be
sure that power is disconnected by removing fuses or turning circuit breaker off before installation. Installing the device with
power on may expose you to dangerous voltage and damage the device. A qualified electrician should perform this installation.
: This product is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electrical Code® and local or Federal
code specifications. To ensure full compliance with all codes and regulations, check with your local electrical inspector prior to
installation. To prevent electrical shock, turn off power at fuse box before installation.
: Capio Plus IGBT Dimmer Rack electronics operate at line voltage potential! They are electrically isolated by
optically coupling the input and output data streams. DO NOT connect non-isolated test equipment to the circuit common point
in the dimmers. Destruction of the dimmer and test equipment and possible injury to personnel will result. Measurements of
input and output voltages must be referenced to Power Line Neutral only.
: This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accor-
dance with this instruction manual may cause interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide
reasonable protection against such interference when operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause interference in which case the user, at his own expense, will be required to take whatever
measures may be required to correct the interference. If you need help, consult your dealer. You may also find the following

OCATION
The rack should be installed on an industrial grade floor with sufficient load capacity to support it. For rack weights and dimensions,
see "Specifications" on page 51. The room must be dry and must have sufficient volume to allow exhaust air to circulate and cool. If
an undersized room is used, it must have air handling which is adequate to maintain the specified ambient temperature range (see
"Specifications" on page 51).
WARIG!
Rated for indoor use only.
C
LEARANCES
The rack must have a minimum of 18 inches of clear space above it for exhaust air and a minimum of 36 inches of clear floor space
in front of it. Single racks or the right-most rack of bused racks require 2 inches of space to the right. See
Figure 1
on next page for
rack clearances. Refer to the National Electrical Code® and local electrical codes to determine whether additional clearance around
the rack is required.

OUTE LINE AND LOAD WIRING
Line Power wiring may enter the rack through removable plates on the top or bottom. See
Figure 1
on next page.
R
OUTE CONTROL WIRING
DMX512 and/or Ethernet control wiring may enter the rack through knockouts in the top or bottom of the rack. Please note that the
low-voltage wiring compartment is located at the top of the rack. If control wiring enters the rack through the bottom, it may be run
through either of the hollow sides of the rack to the top compartment. See "Control Wiring" on page 21 for details.
Control wires may also enter through side knockouts (see
Figure 12
for knockout placement.) Load and Line wires should always
enter the dimmer rack through a knockout via conduit. Check your local electrical code for more information.
You must have access to a main circuit breaker or other power disconnect device before installing any wiring. Failure to disconnect
power before installing or servicing your dimmer rack may result in injury or death.
Mechanical Considerations
Do not energize the Capio
Plus IGBT Dimmer Rack until the wiring has been approved by a technician from Philips Lighting Controls. Contact Technical Support at
+1-800-526-2731 to arrange for approval. Refer to page 53.
