BEFORE STARTING
1
CONNECTING THE POWER
To connect the power cable, carefully follow these two
rules:
·
the power connector on the module is the keyed one
in the top;
·
the red line on the cable should be placed matching
the −12 V side on your power board: please double check
with your power boar supplier that the marked side is the
−12 V.
Frap Tools may not be held responsible in any way for prob-
lems or damage to persons or property or to the device itself,
if the device is not connected as indicated above.

MOUNTING THE MODULE
After connecting the power as explained in the previous
section, install the module in your case using all the 2 or
4 screws provided. Make sure that the module is safely
and tightly connected to your Eurorack case.
Frap Tools modules use the standard Eurorack orienta-
tion and color-coding: the red line on the power cables is
placed at the bottom and stands for the −12
V. Please
double check with the power system you want to use that
it adopts the same powering system.
Frap Tools may not be held responsible in any way for prob-
lems or damage to persons or property or to the device itself,
if the device is not connected as indicated above.

WARM-UP AND WORKING TEMPERA-
TURE
For best performances, we suggest letting the Frap
Tools modules warm up at least around 20 minutes prior
to use it [tested at 25°C]. It is absolutely normal that they
feel warm when touched.
