Right - when facing the front of the rack, this is the side to your right.

Preparation

Step 1: Use Sensor Configuration Editor and a SLTA if you wish to download and save

the current Sensor configuration out of the rack for later reference. For

information on this process contact ETC Technical Services (see page 1).

Step 2: Turn off the main breaker and disconnect all of the Cam-Lok

connectors from

the touring rack.

Step 3: Remove the top eight or more dimmer modules from the rack. Note and

document the modules’ order/positioning in the rack for proper insertion and

configuration later.

Step 4: Use a digital voltmeter to VERIFY that power is off by checking voltages for all

combinations between the phase bars, neutral and ground.

Step 5: Remove the CEM from the rack.

Step 6: Remove the rack door in front of the CEM

by pushing down on the tab in the top

hinged corner.

Step 7: Remove the left side panel of the touring

rack (10 Phillips head screws) and set it

aside.

Note:

You may find it necessary to remove the right side panel as well, depending on

your preferred method of performing some of the following steps. Feel free to do

so as needed.
