Magnetic Fader Maintenance

The faders and crossfader in the Sixty-
Two are designed with materials highly
resistant to corrosion and most chemicals.
While they will handle millions of
operations, they may become dirty over
time. Bad things may be spilled into a
fader, but in many instances the fader may
not be damaged and the sound quality
thus unaffected. Cleaning is only required
to maintain the feel of the fader.
In order to maintain the feel of your
faders, they may occasionally require
cleaning and lubrication. The bearings in
the fader work best with DuPont Teflon
Multi-use Lubricant (part # D00040101).
Make sure to follow the instructions and
warnings on the bottle.
This lubricant goes on wet to deeply
penetrate moving parts, but sets up with a
clean, dry, long-lasting film which will not
attract and absorb dirt and grime. Wet or
oily lubricants may feel good at first, but
will attract dirt and evaporate or become
dry over time. See the fader cleaning
instructions below.

Fader Assembly Removal

1. Remove all three fader knobs.

2. Remove all six screws holding the fader

panel face plate.

3. Lift up the fader panel face plate and

set it aside where it can’t get damaged.

4. Remove the two screws at each end of

a fader, holding the bottom of the fader
in place with your other hand.

5. Take out the fader assembly completely.

6. Note the left connector goes to the left

fader, the center connector goes to the
crossfader, and the right connector goes
to the right fader.

7. Unplug the connectors of the white

wires at the fader assembly without
pulling the wires.

Reverse this procedure to re-assemble.

• Plug in the connector before re-installing

the fader. Note the connector only will fit
one way.

• Test all the faders before installing the

fader panel face plate and fader knobs.

Fader Cleaning

1. For a light cleaning, move the carrier to

one side and wipe rails with a lint-free
cloth. Move the carrier to the other side
and repeat.

2. If a heavier cleaning is required to

remove oily lubricants or grease,
first take the carrier off of the rails by
removing one of the endblocks. Clean
the rails using a lint-free cloth and
alcohol. Use a cue-tip and alcohol to
clean the carrier bearings.

3. With the fader clean, dry and

assembled, add a couple of drops of
Teflon Multi-use Lubricant to each rail of
the fader.

Move the carrier back and forth to

distribute lubricant.

Do not disturb the position of the small

sensors at each end of the fader. If you
accidentally do, make sure the parts are
standing straight before re-installing.

Sensors

Fader Calibration

After cleaning or replacement, the sensors
may get moved, affecting the contour.
After any fader service, perform this
procedure to re-calibrate the faders and
crossfader.

1. Power off the Sixty-Two.

2. Move all faders to the center-most

position.

3. Push down both

PGM 1 CUE

and

PGM 2 CUE

buttons at the same time.

4. While holding these buttons down,

power on the Sixty-Two.

5. Immediately after fading up, the
