CLOCK TROUBLESHOOTING
If the clock’s colons are blinking, it indicates
the clock is set for slave mode, but the ESE or
SMPTE timecode signal is not being received. If
an ESE or SMPTE master clock is not being used,
switch the clock-timer board switch DS1-2 and
DS1-5 to off to set the clock for autonomous mode.
See pages 2-6 and 2-7 for information on the clock-
timer PCA and DS1 switch settings.
To use an ESE or a SMPTE master clock, con-
nect the balanced, or unbalanced, signal to a six-
pin AMP MOD IV housing. The signal uses pins 4
(GND), 5 (+) and 6 (-). This connector plugs into
J4 on the clock-timer PCA. Note the signal polar-
ity, if reversed the clock will not detect the time
code. Also, make sure the terminals are locked into
the housing otherwise intermittent operation could
result.
EVENT TIMER TROUBLESHOOTING
If the timer is not working properly, check that
the interconnecting cable is properly seated at the
back of the RMX
digital mainframe and at the con-
nector on the clock-timer PCA.
If the tenths of seconds display is not function-
ing as expected, check the DIP switch setting on
the clock-timer circuit board. Additional timer in-
formation is on page 2-6.
If the timer is not auto-resetting as expected,
make sure the Auto button is lit on the Monitor
Control panel, and that the [timer_reset] section
of the session file section is properly configured.
NOTE:
The use of chemical cleaners on the con-
ductive plastic will substantially shorten fader life.
Never touch the fader slider contact fingers while
cleaning the fader parts.
Always use a clean dry swab to dry off the con-
ductive plastic tracks after cleaning. If the fader
rails are noticeably dirty, wipe them off using a
dry cotton swab, then lubricate the glide rail.
If coffee, a soft drink, or other sugared liquid
has been spilled into the fader, remove the fader
from the panel as soon as possible. Remove the
fader top cover and hold it under hot running wa-
ter while moving the fader slider back and forth
to dislodge any sugars. Thoroughly dry the rails
and conductive plastic using dry cotton swabs,
taking care not to touch the fader fingers, then
lubricate the glide rail.
Lubricating the Glide Rail
Move the fader slider to the middle of its travel.
Place one drop of Dow Corning 510 lubricant (or
equivalent non-migrating lubricant) on the top rail
to either side of the fader slider bushings. Move
the slider through its full travel to distribute the
lubricant. Be sure to wipe off any excess lubri-
cant. Normally only the top rail (the one on which
the fader slider bushings glide) requires lubricant.
Console Display Service
The meters and clock-event timer PCAs are lo-
cated in the Refelctive Console Display. To access
these PCAs, first turn off the console power sup-
ply, then remove the reflector and lay the display
chassis face down onto a protective surface (towel
or other non-scratching surface) to remove the bot-
tom cover. The PCAs are shown as they appear in
the display on page 2-7. This page also has the
setup switch setting information.

Auto Timer Reset Section of Session File
In this example, channels 1 - 3
do not reset the timer when
turned on because their entry is
=0.
Channels 4 - 6 do reset the timer
because their entry is =1
