OMEGA Mk2 dimmer system specificati n
Setup
Omega Mk2 dimmer is designed for installation in the 19' rack or all mount. Dimmer can be
installed on the stage as ell as it can be used in touring. It is not advisable to install the system in a public
place here there is no possible access to the equipment ithout disturbing the sho . It is not advisable to
place these devices close to the sound hard are.
Like any other dimmer, the Omega Mk2 emits heat, so it must permit normal air circulation on site. The
maximum operating temperature for Omega is +40 º C.
P wer supply
Omega Mk2 dimmer system must have 3 phase, 5 core supply the place of installation of the
follo ing: 3 phase, 5 core phase to phase supply to the TN-S iring system (connection scheme L1 + L2 +
L3 + N + E). Connection cable size depends on the dimmer fuse size (cutting size) and it can be up to
35mm2 copper ire (see: the po er cable characteristics). Neutral cable should be large enough to lead the
neutral current resulting from a phase shift as a result of the dimmer is used part-intensity (typically up to
130% of the maximum possible po er phase). Strongly not recommended for smaller neutral cable, as it
requires a dimmer system for feeding.
Maximum fuse (switches) dimensi ns:
Mono frame, ith or ithout mains
isolators
125A D-type auto fuse or equivalent
( hich may be a fuse s itch)
Double frame system ithout mains
isolators
250A D-type auto fuse or equivalent
( hich may be a fuse s itch)
Double frame system is equipped ith
mains isolators
160A D-type auto fuse or equivalent
( hich may be a fuse s itch)
P wer requirements
Wire size and load to the circuit iring should comply ith the rules. Dimmer fuse (s itch) size must
comply ith local cable overall dimensions (16A C-curve, or the 32A C-curve). If the run size of one channel
is up to 6mm2, the dimmer system is used to 16A C-curve fuse on one channel, but if the run size is 10mm2,
the system is used dimmers 32A C-curve fuse for each channel.
C ling
To provide proper cooling solution, Omega Mk2 dimmer is equipped ith t o-high speed internal
fans, casing on the left side of unit case. Fresh air is injected through holes in the left side of case, but arm
air is discharged through holes located on the right side of case.
On the fan flo -in side there are also dust filters inserted hich can be removed for cleaning.

Installati n
Preparati n f the necessary c mp nents
Omega dimmers are shipped ithout any attached cables. In order to properly carry out the
installation of a dimmer, prepare the details mentioned belo :
● Remove the ire connecting terminals by unscre ing t o scre s and at the same time holding
the DIN cable path. Then remove the ire connecting blocks.
● Disconnect the cable from the main arrivals cable connecting the frame (to move the cable to the
fuse side of 15mm, and move horizontally on 20mm)
● If the input cable is provided for detachable cable to the plate, remove it no .
Assembly f main cable
Mains po er cable attach to a cable input terminal at the rear of the hull. The main po er cable
assembly can be connected to a five-strand copper cable ith conductor sizes up to 35mm2. To do
so requires a straight blade scre driver ith a idth of 4mm. Insert the scre -blade main po er
cable assembly and press it. No may be removed and a scre driver ith both hands, insert the
main po er cable to connect the strands in the block hole. Make sure the ires are placed correctly
and outside the conductor connecting clamps are not visible purified cable conductor parts.
Omega phase ires are marked by their color:
red yello blue black green/yello
Phase L1 Phase L2 Phase L3 neutral earth
Starting the system
Check inc ming p wer c rds
Check that incoming ires are connected properly and securely tightened.
Check hether the ires have the correct contact sockets.
Check the short circuit bet een phases, neutral and earth, using a multi meter.
Check p wer c rds
Make sure all cables are properly connected and isolated and complies ith both ends of the
connection.
Make sure all ground ires are connected properly.
Using a multi meter check short circuit bet een phases, neutral and earth.
