1.1 important power information
Read Instructions:
Please read the Lifeforms SV-1 manual completely before use and retain for
future reference.
IMPORTANT Ribbon Cable Power Information:
The Lifeforms SV-1 is a eurorack format synthesizer module. The module can be
installed, rearranged, removed, and replaced in any compatible eurorack
enclosure from Pittsburgh Modular or other manufacturers.
The Lifeforms SV-1 uses a standard 10 to 16 pin eurorack ribbon cable to
connect the module to a b/-12v power supply. Please pay very close
attention to the orientation of the ribbon cable when adding and removing
modules. The stripe on the ribbon cable marks -12v. This stripe needs to line up
with the -12v pins on the power rail and the -12v pins on the module. The
Lifeforms SV-1 includes reverse polarity protection so it will not be damaged
when plugged in incorrectly; however, as a general rule, failure to match up the
pins correctly can result in damage to one or all the modules in a case. On a
Pittsburgh Modular enclosure power rail, the -12v pins are clearly labeled. On
the Lifeforms SV-1 module, the positive side of the pin connector is on top, and
the negative sides of the pin connector is on the bottom so the red stripe should
be toward the bottom of the module.
Do NOT remove the Lifeforms SV-1 module from any case while it is plugged in.
Do NOT unplug ribbon cables from the Lifeforms SV-1 or case while the case is
plugged in.
