MOTM-110 ASSEMBLY
WWW.SYNTHTECH.COM
PART #8: ATTACH PC TO BRACKET/PANEL
In the
HARDWARE
bag, locate 4 #6-32 x ½ screws, 6 #6 KEPS nut, and 4 spacers.
Locate the mounting bracket. The pc board attaches to the bracket, with the 4
screws threading from the top of the board, through the spacers, through the
bracket, and then out the bottom of the bracket. The #6 KEPS nut attaches on the
bottom of the bracket. Note the bracket has 2 long mounting flanges with a hole
in each. These attach to the 2 threaded studs sticking out of the rear of the panel.
The 4 pots each stick in it’s panel hole when the bracket is screwed down on the 2
threaded posts.
Attach the pc board to the bracket. The 2 mounting flanges are located in between
VR2 &3, and in between VR4 & 5. Note that the bracket holes for the pc board are
actually oblong.
IMPORTANT
: for the MOTM-110, slide the pc board all the way
to the right, so that the edge of the pc board is touching the 2 mounting flanges.
(Note that other MOTM modules will mount a slightly different way, so read the
directions for each kit carefully!!). Tighten then 4 KEPS nuts on the bottom.
THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT STEP, SO PAY ATTENTION AND READ ALL OF
IT BEFORE PROCEEDING!
Note that each of the 4 pots on the pc board have 2 hex nuts and a flat washer.
Remove the first hex nut and the washer. Set aside.
What you will do now is adjust the remaining hex nuts so that when the bracket is
all the way down on the threaded studs, all the hex nuts touch the rear of the
panel. Note that the MOTM-110 is the only kit where this procedure is required.
Other kits will have a different procedure.
Screw (by hand) each hex nut on the pots so that it is all the way on (touching
the face of the pot). Now, pick up the pc board/bracket assembly and carefully
slide it over the 2 threaded studs, making sure the pots are aligned in the holes.
If you closely look at the pots, you will notice that when the bracket is firmly
pressed
flush against the panel, there is a gap of about 0.050 inches between the panel and
the pot hex nuts.
Remove the bracket off the studs. For each pot hex nut, unscrew it about 1 and ½
turns. Eyeball the hex nuts to see that each one is the same distance from the
rear of the pot (in the US this is about the thickness of a dime). Place the bracket
back on the studs. Make sure each pot hex nuts is touching the panel. If not, use a
finger to unscrew the hex nut. Be sure you are holding the bracket all the
way down on the studs.
Now use 2 of the #6 KEPS nuts to tighten the bracket to the panel.
