Removing fader blocks Removing fader blocks
Fader panels are in 8 channel wide blocks and are
retained using 8 M4 x 10 socket head screws.
After removing these screws carefully
lift the panel by ~20mm then pull it
forward slightly being careful to avoid
damage to the isolate switch at the
front edge of the module.
The fader block can then be removed
by tilting it upwards at its main mod-
ule end to clear the frame extrusion
and then lifting clear, being careful to
avoid damage to any of the linking
ribbon cables.
The ribbon cables that link from block
to block can be unplugged once the
module is lifted which allows the fader
block to be inverted and rested on the
main module surface without having
to remove any of the cables that link to
the main modules.
If the fader block has been re-
moved to update software by
fitting new PIC(s), this is now
quite straightforward. On Input
fader blocks remove the screws
securing the fader motherboard and carefully unplug it
from the individual fader cards. The processor chip is
now accessible. On the VCA fader block and the small
Automation Control block the processor chips are imme-
diately accessible once the block is removed from the
console.
If, at any time, a fader block has to be completely re-
placed simply unplug the ribbon cables from the main
modules (at the module end) and lift the fader block
clear.
To refit a fader block simply reverse the procedure
detailed above being careful to feed the module linking
cables back into the fader tray as the block is lowered
into position.
