2. Module Installation
As you will have no doubt noticed, the rear of
Mob of Emus is a circuit board with exposed
parts and connections. When handling
Panharmonium, it’s best that you hold it by
the edges of the front panel or circuit board.
It’s not particularly easy to blow up, but why
take chances?
More specifically, the biggest risk (to the
extent that there’s a risk), is damage by static
electricity. Particularly on dry, cold days (or if
you’ve just shuffled across your shag carpet
in fuzzy slippers), make a point of touching
the metal panel first, before touching any
other part of the module.
While all Rossum Electro-Music modules are
protected against reverse polarity damage,
both to your module and your system, care
should still be taken to connect the power
cable correctly. (For more detail on our
unique protection method, check out Dave’s
discussion of Circuit Protection in Chapter 17.)
Plug the included 16-pin connector into the
header on the rear of the module such that
the red stripe on the cable (the -12V side) is
on the same end of the header as the “Red
Stripe (-12V)” text on the PCB.
Mob of Emus requires, at most, 140mA of
+12V and 30mA of -12V.
We have included both M3 and M2.5 (for
vector rails) mounting screws. Use what fits
your system.
If rack rash is of concern to you, use the
included nylon washers when mounting Mob
of Emus in your case.
