Connecting Power Supply
Plug the motor and power supply plugs into the
matching sockets at the rear of the control box.
1.
Plug the smaller male DC connector from the
motor into the left hand of the two holes at the
back of the control box Page 4 (see diagram).
2.
Plug the male DC connector from the
transformer (low voltage input) into the right hand
socket (when looking at the back of the box)
another way of describe it is the socket directly
behind the LED.
3.
You will know that the motor kit is connected up
correctly when the LED comes on (This light will
remain lit all the time that the motor kit is plugged
in at the mains supply). The location of the control
box should preferably be kept away from strong
electromagnetic fields such as those generated
by transformers, amplifiers, power supplies etc.

Rotary Speed
Control Switch
You can tension the belt by pivoting the motor
plate about the bolt and relying on the bolt
friction to hold the motor in position. You should
aim to have at least the belt tension required to
prevent the platter running slow or incurring speed
variation due to slippage. To this end it is best
to have it relatively tight when setting the motor
speed and then slacken it off fractionally without
any loss in sound quality once you know the
speed is correct. There will be an optimum tension
although it is not always easy to tell by listening
and the tension is not that critical.
Upgrade Transformer
To upgrade to the Origin Live Upgrade transformer you simply need to unplug your existing transformer
(mains connection) and plug in the upgrade transformer.
Note: You will need to set/reset the speed if you are changing up to the upgrade transformer see
setting speed below
