MODULE INSTALLATION

 

1. 

Remove module, mounting screws, and power cable from their packaging.  Visually inspect all pieces 

to ensure there is no obvious damage, such as broken connectors.   
 

2.

 Power down your synthesizer and disconnect the power cable from the wall outlet. 

 

3.

 Attach the included power cable to the module’s power connector, then connect the other end to the 

power distribution bus in your EuroRack synthesizer case as shown below. 

 

 
4. 

Position the module on the mounting rails in your EuroRack synthesizer case and screw down all four 

mounting screws.  After double checking your connections, power your synthesizer back up.
