Inside the Module 

In This Section 

There are no serviceable items inside the SoundPals ADLY-4/A module.  

Before You Begin 

Check the following items before opening the module and attempting to remove the internal 
circuit board: 

  If required, remove the SoundPals module from the rack tray. 
  Disconnect the power supply from the front of the product. 
  Disconnect all input and output cables. 
  Perform the remaining steps 

only 

in a static free environment.  Make sure that 

you and 

the product 

are both grounded. 

The following tools are required: 

 

#2 Philips screwdriver 

Opening the Module 

Use the following steps to open the ADLY-4/A module: 

1.  On the front panel, remove the four knobs from the Frame-Delay and FPS Switches.  

2.  On the front panel, remove the four Phillips screws from the four corners of the 

SoundPals module using the #2 Phillips screwdriver.   

3.   On the front panel, remove the one Phillips circuit board mounting screw. 

4.  On the rear panel, remove the four Phillips screws from the four corners of the 

SoundPals module using the #2 Phillips screwdriver.   

5.  Pulling the rear panel, carefully draw the internal circuit board and front panel assembly 

from the housing. 

6.  Set the housing and all mounting hardware in a safe place. 

 

Closing The Module 

Use the following steps to close a SoundPals module: 

1.  Ensure that the product label is on the bottom.  

2.  Carefully slide the internal circuit board and rear panel assembly through the housing.   

3.  Start all five screws on the front panel.
