DIP switches in the 

APP

  (PPM) unit are only accessible by removal of the top cover.  Each DIP

switch is physically located on the inside front panel above the level meter to which it is dedicated. Each meter can be independently set with
a possibility of four settings; -6, 0, +4, or +8 dBv.  Factory setting is +4 dBv.  See the diagram below for DIP switch settings.

Level Gain Calibration

 adjustment for the 

AV

 (VU) unit is done by adjusting two trim pots (

P1

 and 

P2

) on the level meter driver

PCB (

919036V

).  The units top cover must be removed to access this PCB, which is mounted in the center of the chassis bottom.

P1

 adjusts the 

left

 meter; 

P2

 adjusts the 

right

 meter.  Clockwise rotation of either meter will 

increase

 the level of the associated

meter.  Adjustment range for each meter is 0 to +8 dBv.
