Chapter 5 Installation preparations
Different versions of terminals and pins
In the summer of 2008, a new terminal type was introduced in the Regio controllers. The old
terminal type is dark grey and intended for 1.3 mm pins. The new terminal type is light grey
and intended for 1.1 mm pins. Confusion between a new and old bottom plate may lead to
deficient contact. Therefore, it is important to use an old electronics unit together with an old
bottom plate and a new electronics unit together with a new bottom plate. From the end of
2017 the bottom plate will be white instead of grey.
Figures 1 and 2 show an example of the difference between the old and current terminal types
(the number of terminals depends on the Regio model).

Using labels
On the back of the electronics cassette, there is a set of labels which makes it easier to install
large numbers of Midi controllers. By using the labels as carriers of information for the
installation engineer, much time will be saved and you can keep wiring errors at a minimum.
Figure 3. Label on the back of the controller
The three-piece label can be split and the parts can be fastened to the installation drawing and
the bottom plate of the controller. The label carries information on the communication address
etc., and has a note area where you can enter a reference number to the connection diagram.
The address on the sticker has a different meaning depending on what communication protocol
is used.
