is
“Hot

be
replaced
at
any
time,
even
when
power
is
applied.
Replace
with
American

VMS4™
crossfader
(part
#
Z
‐
FF
‐

If
you
wish
to
upgrade
to
an
Innofader,
please
order
the
Innofader
model
which
comes
with
the
VMS4™
plade
cover
to
protect
the
Innofader
from
damage
during
handling
of
the
VMS4™.
If
you
upgrade
to
the
Innofader,
please
make
sure
the
power
is
off
before
upgrading
to
limit
the
chance
of
damage
to
the
Innofader
and/or
VMS4™
during
installation.
Replacing
with
any
other
model
fader
may
seriously
damage
your
mixer.
Replacing
the
Crossfader:
•
Disconnect
the
mixers
main
power
supply.
•
Using
a
Phillips
screw
driver,
unscrew
the
two
outside
screws
on
each
side
that
hold
the
crossfader
assembly
in
place.
•
Gently
remove
the
crossfader
assembly
from
its
seated
position.
You
may
need
to
wiggle
the
crossfader
slightly
to
remove
it.
•
After
removing
the
crossfader
assembly,
disconnect
the
ribbon
cable
that
attaches
the
crossfader
to
the
mainboard.
Grasp
the
crossfader
by
its
base
and
pull
the
ribbon
cable
by
its
connector
not
the
actual
cables.
The
connector
is
designed
to
only
fit
one
way,
so
don’t
worry
about
the
connectors
orientation.
•
Unscrew
the
two
inner
screws
that
connect
the
crossfader
to
the
crossfader
plate.
•
Connect
the
new
crossfader
to
the
ribbon
cable
and
replace
in
reverse
order.
