The Matrix C16™ can be mounted in a 19in or 23in rack conguration, in a front ush

or oset mid-mount orientation (see Figure 1).

Step 1. Depending on the size of the rack, select one of the following sets of mounting

ears:

y For 19in racks, use (2) 590-1936-10

y For 23in racks, use (2) 590-1937-10

Step 2. Attach the two (2) front mounting ears in the appropriate conguration using

the included #10-32 hardware (see Figure 1).

Step 3. Attach the lacing bar to the rear of the panel using the included #10-32

hardware (see Figure 2).

NOTE: Installation of the rear cable lacing bar is optional but highly

recommended to provide strain relief for connected cables.

Step 4. Insert the panel into the rack and secure the front mounting ears to the rack

using the included #12-24 hardware.

Once all breakers are installed and power is present on the inputs, remove the

breaker compartment door and slide the power switch to the on position. The power

switch is located on the front right side of the SmartSwitch™. The display will turn on

and display the Comm/net logo followed by the rmware version.

5.3.1 5.3.1 Breaker Inventory ProcessBreaker Inventory Process

Before the monitoring features of the Matrix™ panel can be used, a breaker inventory

must be taken.

Step 1. Upon rst power up, the system will prompt “TURN ON THE BKRS HOLD 3S.”

Step 2. Turn on all breakers to be inventoried. Press and hold the SmartSwitch™ as

prompted.

Step 3. The SmartSwitch™ will now display the number of breakers installed in the

panel. If the number of breakers displayed is incorrect, ensure that all installed

breakers are fully seated, in the correct orientation, and turned on.

Step 4. If the number of breakers is correct, press and hold the SmartSwitch™ for 3

seconds to continue.

Step 5. The SmartSwitch™ will now display “STORED PRESS TO CONT.” Tap the

SmartSwitch™ to continue and set the breaker ampacity.

5.3.2 5.3.2 Setting Breaker AmpacitySetting Breaker Ampacity

The SmartSwitch™ will now display “SETUP BKR AMPS HOLD 3S.”

Step 1. Hold the SmartSwitch™ for 3 seconds to enter the menu to set breaker

ampacity.

Step 2. The rst breaker in inventory will be shown, along with its currently set

ampacity. If the ampacity is incorrect, press and hold the SmartSwitch™ for 3

seconds to enter the menu.

Step 3. Tap the SmartSwitch™ until the correct ampacity is displayed (the display will

advance through standard Slimline breaker ampacities: 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50,

60, 70, 80, and 100), then press and hold for 3 seconds to save the value.

Step 4. The next breaker in inventory will now be displayed. Repeat Steps 1-3 for each

breaker in inventory.

Step 5. Once all of the breaker ampacities are set correctly, advance to the screen that

says “EXIT HOLD 3 S” and hold the SmartSwitch™ for 3 seconds to exit the

menu and save the values.

This completes the initial SmartSwitch™ setup.

This section applies to the Matrix™ family products with the optional embedded web

server installed. If a panel does not have an Ethernet web server but you would like to

add one, or if you are unsure if this option is installed on your panel, contact Comm/net

The optional embedded Ethernet module provides remote monitoring via IP-based

Ethernet networks and a web browser. To view the system status, you will need to

connect the Ethernet port on the rear of your Matrix™ to your network. See "4.7 Installing

the Network Cable" on Page 13 for information on installing the network cable.

By default, the Ethernet module is congured from the factory with a static IP address

and network settings, as dened below.
