Accessing the Mounting Holes
The mounting holes are located within the rear panel of the
Source Controller. To access the mounting holes (and circuit
wiring terminals) it is necessary to remove the front panels.
To Remove the Front Panels
CAUTION: If removing panels on a previously installed Source
Controller, ensure that all power inputs are isolated first.
1. Open the main panel door.
2. Remove the two upper and two lower screws that hold
the main panel in place and carefully lift off the complete
panel.
3. Now remove the single upper and single lower screw
holding the right side panel in place. Carefully lift off the
panel.
4. For 24 circuit models, repeat step 3 for the left side panel.
To Replace the Front Panels
1. Replace the side panel(s) first. Place the right side panel
onto the chassis and replace the upper and lower fixing
screws.
2. For 24 circuit models, repeat step 1 for the left side panel.
3. Place the main panel onto the chassis and open the door.
Replace the two upper and two lower fixing screws.
Supply Wiring
Wiring Flow
The Universal Source Controller range has been designed to
provide a clear layout and logical progression for all power
circuits.
The main supply conductors enter at the top panel and connect
directly to the input lugs. Input power is then fed to a central
bank of breakers and distributed from there to each of the
individual circuit cards.
Two vertical wireways (one for 6 and 12 circuit models) provide
clear routes from the circuit card outputs up to the earth
terminals and the exit knockouts within the top panel of the
chassis.
The diagram shown below indicates a typical wiring flow with
the high voltage load wiring from the various channels (and
their earth connections) exiting from the top panel.

Supply to Internal Circuitry
The internal power supply that feeds the control panel and
associated circuitry can draw its power from any and all phases
so that it will still operate in the event that not all supply phases
are available.
Load Wiring
High Voltage Load Wiring
Each load channel is served by a dedicated control card
fed from a designated circuit breaker. For each card, load
connections are made using a four-way rapid connection block.
Available at the connection block are a permanent Hot (subject
to circuit breaker status), Switched hot (via relay control),
Dimmed hot (via triac control) and Neutral - see diagram below.
ote: N Earth connections for each channel are made using the
connector blocks located at the top of each
wireway.
When supplied, a red 3-way bypass jumper is installed within
each connection block to serve three purposes:
• To bind the three outputs in order to protect each channel
card from load faults during installation
• To energize each channel output (subject to the status of the
associated circuit breaker) for use as work lighting control
during installation and
• To assist with circuit testing during commissioning
IMPORTANT: The bypass jumper must remain in place on each
channel until the commissioning process is complete.
