Operating notes
Secure the module using the nuts and rotary knobs
which you previously removed from the potentiome-
ters and switches. Screw the nuts onto the shafts on
the outside of the transmitter and tighten them care-
fully using a suitable box spanner. Socket assignment on the transmitter circuit
board
You will fi nd on a sketch of the transmitter circuit
board on page 19.
Additional transmitter controls can be connected to
function sockets CH5 ... CH10 on the transmitter cir-
cuit board; these include rotary controls, sliders and
switch modules (see Appendix).
Note:
Two additional inputs can be assigned to controls
such as external switches by software, so that up to
twelve separate control functions are available at the
transmitter when using the DS 24 FM S receiver.
In its standard form the transmitter features two 2-
channel sliders installed in the centre console; the-
se controls are connected to sockets CH6 and CH7
as standard. If you wish, you can reverse the direction
of operation of the transmitter control “mechanical-
ly” by turning the connector through 180° at the trans-
mitter circuit board. However, a more elegant method
is to use the »
Control adjust « menu, where you can
reverse and adjust the transmitter controls using the
system software.
The external switch sockets can be assigned in any
arrangement you wish, as you defi ne the external
switch for software assignment simply by operating it,
which means that the number of the socket is irrele-
vant.
However, in the interests of clarity and comprehensi-
bility we do recommend that you assign the sockets
in numerical order, and install the corresponding swit-
ches in the proper sequence – from 0 to max. 7 – in
the transmitter case, insofar as that is possible.
The NAUTIC module (Order No. 4141 or 4108 ) or the
Teacher module (Order No. 3290.2 or 3289 ) can be
connected directly to the 14-pin connector using the
mc-22(s) / mc-24 adaptor (Order No.
4184.1 ). If you
install the mc-22(s) interface distributor, Order No.
4182.3 , you can connect both modules to the trans-
mitter in parallel. A full description of the individu-
al modules is included at the appropriate point in this
manual.
The last step is to fi t the rotary knobs on the potenti-
ometer shafts, line them up with the graduated scale,
and tighten the grubscrews.
External switches, rotary modules and switch modu-
les are installed in a similar way.
Take great care not to touch the solder pads on the
transmitter circuit board with any metallic object.
We recommend the use of the special box
spanner, Order No.
5733 , for tightening the
decorative nuts which retain the external swit-
ches.
