There are two alternatives for installing controls in the inner
option wells:

1. Cut a hole in the aluminium panel at the switch symbol position,

using a hand-held 6 mm Ø drill bit, or

2. Use a ready-made die-cut panel, which is available under

No. F 1589. The set includes 12 rubber plugs which are used to
seal any openings which are not used, e.g. after re-positioning
switches.

In all other respects the switches are installed and secured exactly
as described previously in this section.

Here again there are two alternative methods of installation:

1. Cut two holes in the aluminium panel at the switch symbol

position, using a hand-held 6 mm Ø drill bit, or

2. Use a ready-made die-cut panel, which is available under

No. F 1589. The set includes 12 rubber plugs which are used to
seal any openings which are not used, e.g. after re-positioning
switches.

Each mix trimmer module takes up three inner option wells. A maxi-
mum of two modules can be installed: one right, one left.

Drill holes in switch well positions 1 and 3.

Fit the module from the rear with the connecting lead termina-
ting in the

2-pin plug at the top

, pointing towards the aerial.

Fix the module to the transmitter using the screws supplied (see
arrow).

Push the trimmer knobs onto the pot shafts.

Ensure that the index line on the knob lines up with that on the
pot shaft.

Secure the trimmer knob with a 1.5 mm allen key.

Take care to arrange the cables neatly!

To install the front linear sliders, press the blind cover out from
the rear of the transmitter using a screwdriver.

Carefully install the slider with the cable pointing down
(towards the battery).

Route the cable under the main circuit board and connect the
slider.

The circuit board is mounted on stand-off pillars to provide space
for the cables.

Do not run the cables over the circuit board, otherwise they will
be jammed between the circuit board and the back panel.

Carefully fix the slider in place from the front using the screws
supplied.

Peel off the protective film and apply the self-adhesive scale
label.

Carefully push the knob onto the slider shaft.

Check that the slider works smoothly, then re-attach the back
panel.

Carefully push out the rear blind cover of the slider slot from the
inside of the transmitter using a screwdriver.

Install the slider from the rear, with the

cable pointing up

towards the latch.

Carefully fit the retaining screws from the outside to secure the
unit.

Each linear slider is supplied complete with one left-hand and
one right-hand knob.

Select the appropriate knob to suit the side of the transmitter,
and push it onto the slider shaft.

Check that the slider works smoothly, then re-attach the back
panel.
