3 Console Compatibility Requirements
Although FaderMate is intended to be a universal system, there are several mechanical
factors to consider when determining whether your console is compatible with the system.
These requirements can be summarised as:

The motorised faders must fit in place of the original faders

The console must be able to accommodate the FCU circuit boards in such a way
that the motorised fader interface cables reach between the board connectors and
the faders

There must be a way to get the necessary data interface and power cables inside
the console and connected to one of the FCU circuit boards
It may also be useful to refer to sections 2 ( System Overview ) and 4 ( Fitting Instructions)
which provide some context for how the whole system fits together.
3.1 Fader Body Fit
Each FCU kit ships with 8 Alps motorised faders.
The crucial difference between this fader and a non-motorised unit is that there is a drive
pulley at the top of the fader as shown in Figure 3.1.1.
Figure 3.1.1 – Motorised Fader Drive Pulley
The presence of the drive pulley extends the body of the fader by approximately 14mm
beyond the centre of the top fader mounting hole.
