Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the ETC F-Drive Series R12. The F-Drive Series R12
LEDpower control solutionprovides a modular, centralized approach for controlling
LEDluminaires. The R12 is a card cage enclosure that can hold up to 12 low-voltage output
cards, providing power and data to multiple circuits per card. By maintaining remote, easy
access to the output cards and power supplies, LED-based systems can be easily installed and
serviced, while ensuring critical components are readily accessible to support staff.

•
One or more F-Drive R12 drivers.
•
One or more 48 VDCexternal power supplies.
•
Up to 12 R12 output cards.
•
B-Boxes (optional). FD-BBOX-4R can connect ArcSystem Navis 100 luminaires in star
topology. FD-BBOX-4M provides a convenient way to connect ArcSystem Pro One-Cell
luminaires. FD-BBOX-4T can be used with third-party loads.
•
Luminaires:ArcSystem Navis 100, ArcSystem Pro One-Cell, ArcSystem ArcLamps, or third-
party fixtures.

Chapter 1 9
Before You Begin Installation
Review the following information before installing the F-Drive R12.
Installation Requirements
•
Ambient operating temperature 0–40°C (32–104°F), 5–95% non-condensing humidity.
•
Dry locations only.
•
The R12 requires a 19-inch equipment rack that must support the weight of an R12 frame,
twelveoutput cards, and any power supplies and accessories.
•
The R12 is a 48 VDC input product that requires an external power supply for operation.
Clearance Requirements
F-Drive R12 Driver
CAUTION: To reduce risk of fire, do not install closer than 3 inches to
cabinet wall.
ATTENTION : Pour reduire les risques d'incendie, n'installez pas plus de 3
pouces au mur de l'armoir.
MEANWELLPower Supply Frame
If you are installing a MEAN WELL RKP-1UI three-bay external power supply frame, the built-in
DCfans require 10 cm (3/8in)clearance around the ventilation holes after mounting the three-
bay frame in the 19-inch equipment rack.
WARNING: RISKOFELECTRICSHOCK! Maintain 20mm (3/4in) clearance
behind the installed MEANWELLthree-bay frame. Equipment mounted
above or below a MEANWELLthree-bay frame must be 35cm(14in)or less
in depth. Equipment with a depth of more than 35cm(14in) mounted
immediately above or below a MEANWELL three-bay frame may cause an
unsafe electrical connection due to mechanical interference with the power
bussing connections.
AVERTISSEMENT : RISQUE DE CHOC ÉLECTRIQUE! Conservez un espace
de 20 mm (3/4 po) derrière le châssis du rack MEAN WELL installé. Tout
équipement monté au-dessus ou au-dessous d'un rack MEAN WELL doit
avoir une profondeur de 35 cm (14 po) ou moins. Tout équipement d'une
profondeur de plus de 35 cm (14 po) monté immédiatement au-dessus ou
au-dessous d'un rack MEAN WELL peut provoquer une connexion électrique
dangereuse en raison d'interférences mécaniques avec les connexions de bus
d'alimentation.
Note: If you are bussing two or more RKP-1UIrack systems together, they must be
installed vertically adjacent in the equipment rack.

10 R12 Installation Manual
Voltage Drop
Voltage drop along load wiring is a consideration for constant voltage loads. Voltage drop
calculations vary by project and are based on the type, length, and gauge of wire. The
CV-150Card and the ArcLamp150Card have an adjustabledial on the front of the output card
to set the 24–28VDC (+/-5%) output. Measure the voltage at the load and adjust the dial to
achieve 24VDC at the load. Contact a qualified electrician and refer to the following resources
for more information:
•
The F-Drive System Design Tool at etcconnect.com/Products/Power-Controls/LED-Drivers/F-
Drive/F-Drive-System-Design-Tool.aspx
•
Configure the CV-150Card and ArcLamp150Card on page29
•
Output Card Wire and Terminal Specifications on page12 for recommended wire gauges
Power Disconnect Device
Before installation, make sure you have an accessible input power disconnect device installed
ahead of your F-Drive R12.
WARNING: RISK OF DEATH BY ELECTRIC SHOCK! Failure to disconnect all
power to the system before installation, maintenance, cleaning, or any
other system modification could result in serious injury or death.
AVERTISSEMENT : RISQUE DE MORT PAR DÉCHARGE ÉLECTRIQUE!
Négliger de débrancher toutes les sources d’alimentation du système avant
l’installation, l’entretien, le nettoyage ou toute autre modification du
système peut causer des blessures graves ou la mort.
De-energize main feed to F-Drive Power Control products and follow
appropriate Lockout/Tagout procedures as mandated by NFPA 70E. It is
important to note that electrical equipment such as breaker panels can
present an arc flash hazard if improperly serviced. This is due to the high
amounts of short-circuit current available on the electrical supply to this
equipment. Any work must comply with OSHA Safe Working Practices.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Circuits that are installed without
an accessible power disconnect device cannot be serviced or operated
safely.
AVERTISSEMENT : RISQUE DE DÉCHARGE ÉLÉCTRIQUE! Il est imprudent
d'utiliser ou de réparer les circuits installés sans qu'un dispositif de
déconnexion de l'alimentation ne soit accessible.

•
Check the box contents received against the packing list to ensure that your order is
complete.
•
If you discover a problem with the contents of the shipment, contact ETC. See Help from
ETC Technical Services on page3 .

Rack-Mount Safety
The R12 and R12ExternalPowerSupply install into a standard 19-inch rack enclosure.
•
Elevated Operating Ambient: If the R12 is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may elevate above the room
ambient. Do not operate the device in an enclosed environment above 40°C (104°F).
•
Reduced Air Flow: When installing the R12 in an equipment rack, the rack must be vented
and have adequate airflow to maintain an operating temperature below 40°C (104°F).
•
Mechanical Loading: The R12 and R12ExternalPowerSupply must be installed in a rack in
a horizontal flat orientation to ensure even mechanical loading in the rack, avoiding
hazardous or dangerous loading conditions.
•
Circuit Overloading: When installing the R12 in an equipment rack, consider the connection
of the equipment to the rack or power source to avoid overloading the rack circuit or supply
wiring. Consider the rack or power distribution in the equipment rack during installation.
•
Reliable Grounding: Maintain reliable grounding of the rack-mounted equipment. Give
particular attention to any supply connections other than direct connections to the branch
circuit (for example, the use of power strips).

Chapter 3 13
Chapter 3
Install 48 VDCPower Supplies
The MEANWELL RKP-1UI rack-mount units are 1U, low-profile power distribution solutions
perfectly suited for providing 48 VDCpower to the ETCF-Drive R12.
The MEANWELLrack-mount unit should only be installed by a qualified electrician or service
technician.
Note: Save these important parts that ship with your MEANWELLthree-bay frame.
Each MEANWELLthree-bay frame ships with:
•
One DB-25 terminator that must be installed in the CN500 port in order for the
three-bay frame to power on. See Final Installation Steps on page17
•
One RJ45 terminator that must be installed in one of the JK1 ports if you are
bussing multiple three-bay frames together. See Bussing Kit Parts Illustration on
