Installing   The   Module   

Connecting   Power   

The module is supplied with a 12-inch ribbon-cable to connect it to 
the power distribution bus in your cabinet. The keyed socket on the 
module ensures that the cable can only be installed one way, with the 
red stripe of the cable towards the bottom of the module. The 16-way 
plug on the far end of the cable should be orientated with the red 
stripe on the cable connecting to the -12-Volt pins on the distribution 
board. 
It is advisable to power the module briefly before fixing it in the 
cabinet to confirm that the cable is fitted correctly. When doing this 
ensure that the module is not placed on a conducting surface. The 
internal protection circuits will prevent any damage to the module 
should the cable be connected incorrectly. 

 

Selecting   CV   Source   

When fitted, the Bus CV jumper connects pins 13 and 14 of the power 
connector to the CV summer. The VCO will then track the CV on the 
power bus without patching, simplifying the connections to the 
module. If this feature is not wanted then removing the jumper 
isolates these pins and the user can patch the required CV through 
the front panel jacks.
