Device Connection

You now own a fantastic compressor module. It’s time to integrate it in your
modular system.

5.1

Power Connection

The first step is to supply your module with power. The module only requires
reg12V and -12V voltages. These voltages should already be provided
by your modular system’s power supply.

Before connecting any module to the Eurorack bus, it is mandatory to switch the
modular system power off. Otherwise you may severely damage your module
or put yourself at risk.

Please connect the supplied ribbon cable with the smaller 10-way connector to
the module’s Eurorack bus connector and with the larger 16-way connector to
your modular system bus board.

Eurorack connectors are usually orientated in a way that the -12V supply line is
located at the bottom. The cmp1 module follows the same convention.
The red line of the ribbon cable should show to the bottom of your bus board
and at the bottom of your module. Refer to the figure above.

Please make sure the ribbon cable does not swap the lines.

The module can now be installed in the rack using the provided screws, washers
and a Phillips head screwdriver #0. With the module installed, switch the system
power supply on.
