Removing Modules
Each Input Module is secured to the D-Mix1000 frame by two screws, the Master
module is secured by four screws.
Remove the screws using a cross-head screw driver.
Turn the console on to its underside, so it is face down. Here the connectors can be
located. Remove the screws holding in XLRs and the nuts holding the jack sockets
in. You may find it helpful to refer to the black sticker on the console to make sure
you are removing the correct components for the module which you require.
Slowly turn the console back over to its original position, the module should now
be free for removal.
Lift the module a few inches out from the desk frame, just enough so the ribbon
cable is exposed. Gently ease off the loom connector from the bottom of the PCB.
The module should now be completely free from the desk.
Replacing modules
Line the module up so it can slot easily into the desk frame and connect the ribbon
cable back onto the PCB.
Turn the console onto its underside and replace XLR fixing screws and Jack socket
nuts.
Turn the console back to its original position and replace the module fixing screws
situated on the face of the module.
The module should now be securely fixed to the console.
It is important to note that the modules may be configured to the users requirements
but caution must be taken not to damage the main wire loom. Be careful not to trap
the loom between any of the modules.
