Aurora Sidecar Maintenance:
The channel section of the Aurora Sidecar is modular and modules can be easily
removed and replaced.....
To remove the module, undo the two
captive thrumb-screws and use them to
pull the channel module from its
connector and out of the Sidecar frame.
To replace the module, hold it by the
captive thumb-screws and insert the top,
longer side, into the upper steel guide
rail.
Gently lower the module and engage the lower part of the module into the lower steel
guide rail, lowering the module until the front face of the module is almost level with the
neighboring channels. Move the channel module gently from side to side until you feel
its connector engaging with the connector in the sidecar frame. Then push fully down.
Tighten the captive thumb-screws to secure the channel module firmly into the Sidecar
frame.
Under no circumstances should the module be allowed to drop into the frame as it
will most likely damage the module connectors!
The Aurora Sidecar channel is all-
steel construction and the rear of the
module forms a shield to prevent
cross-talk between adjacent
channels. The open frame
construction also allows heat from
the Class A circuitry to circulate and
dissipate.
The combination of steel thumb-
screws and steel full-length guide
rails hold the modules very firmly
in position and the Sidecar can be
moved with the modules in situ.
