Replacing Faders

1. Power down the console, switch off the PSU's and connect your antistatic strap to an appropriate

earthing point.

2. Use a 5mm Hex driver to remove the side cheeks, then unscrew the lower panel with the 2mm Hex

driver and store these screws somewhere safe.

3. Carefully lift and tilt the panel slightly and disconnect the cables going to the front panel. If you are

working on an SD9 or SD10, you may want to ask a friend to help you remove it from the console.

4. Once disconnected, remove all the fader knobs and store them somewhere safe.

5. Flip the panel over and carefully unscrew the fader driver PCB retaining screws and store the screws

and the fader driver cards somewhere safe, then flip the panel over again. If working on an SD9 or

SD10, remember the location of the PCB's so they can be returned to the console in the correct

position.

6. Use a Hex driver to remove the screws at the top and bottom of the first fader, store them

somewhere safe.

7. Carefully remove the fader and place to one side.

8. Repeat the fader removal (steps 6 and 7) and place them to one side keeping the sequence of

faders, do not mix them up – label them if necessary.

9. Using the vacuum cleaner and the paintbrush, gently clean the panel, PCBs, and the area inside of

the console.

10. Install the new faders, screw down the fader driver PCB, plug the faders into the PCB, and carefully

re-plug the connectors to the PCB's. Place the fader panel back into the console, switch the console

on and test the functionality of the faders and buttons – the panel can now be screwed back into

place.

Cleaning Faders - Follow steps 1 – 9 above

11. Use the compressed air to dislodge any dust and dirt from the inside of the fader assembly, then use

the vacuum cleaner to remove the dust and dirt. Repeat as necessary.

12. Lay the fader on paper towels, place the thin nozzle of the cleaner-lubricant spray along the fader

slot and with the fader at one end spray for no more than 1 second.

13. Move the fader up and down approximately 20 times and use the paper towel to wipe up any excess

or dirty liquid.

14. Repeat steps 11 - 13 for the remaining faders.

15. Re-install the faders, screw down the fader driver PCB, plug the faders into the PCB, and carefully re-

plug the connectors to the PCB's. Place the fader panel back into the console, switch the console on

and test the functionality of the faders and buttons – the panel can now be screwed back into place.
