Panel Construction
Each control panel consists of separate plastic buttons sitting on a conductive plastic contact sheet. The
switchboard PCA is fastened to the metal faceplate, with a plastic inlay, to hold the contact sheet and
buttons in place.
Control panels are not a readily field-serviceable assembly, but they can be disassembled, with care, to be
cleaned in case of a spill into the panel. Table 5-1 lists all available replaceable parts (10-character display
and lens, rotary and fader knobs, and fader).
Control panels can be removed or installed while the console is powered, and on-air, without causing any
audio interruption or noises in the program audio. The new panel assumes the removed panel’s button
settings when plugged in. The fader setting controls the levels. If the faders on the replacement panel are
not set to the same position as the removed panel, the level may change when the new panel’s fader
settings are detected as the panel powers up. To prevent abrupt level changes if you replace a panel while
the console is on-air, you must set the replacement panel’s faders/pots to the same settings as the removed
panel.
Generally, it is best to turn off both channels prior to unplugging the Dual Fader panel. Before you remove
the Monitor Control panel, you should turn off the monitor speaker power amplifiers and unplug the
headphones.
Control Panel Removal and Installation
Removal
To remove a control panel from the frame, perform these steps:
1.
Using a 2mm hex tool (70-57 or equivalent), remove the four or six silver hex screws (38-307A). There
are two screws top and bottom on each Dual Fader panel. There are three screws, top and bottom, on
the Monitor panel.
2.
Move the faders to the bottom of their travel.
These LEDs display the
fader output in binary
code. Typically, all are on
when the fader is at full
on, and all are off when
the fader is at full off.
The red LED above the
fader (B or INC ALL)
lights to indicate which
fader is being tested.
These LEDs display the
binary output from the fader
or pot under test. Typically,
all light up when the
fader/pot is at full on, and
all are off when the
fader/pot is at full off.
The label directly above the
fader or pot lights to
