Phasing in Sensor Portable Packs and Touring Racks

Question

How are SP Portable and Touring Packs broken out by Phase?

Answer

Below are breakdowns for each portable pack ETC makes. In the newer Touring Packs the phasing is also detailed by the color coding in the patch bay. Black For Phase A, Red for Phase B, and Blue for Phase C.  Note that these dimmer #s assume each module holds two dimmers and takes up only one module space in the rack (e.g. a rack populated with D20 modules).

Legend for Images:

Single Slot Module: Refers to modules that take up a single slot in the rack (ex: D20, R20, CC20, D20AF, etc)

 Dual Slot Module: Refers to any module that takes up two slots in the rack (ex: D100AF and D50HR)
