Installation; Placement And Mounting; Rack-Mounting; Substituting A Module - Ecler SCLAT100 Notice D'emploi

The FA50 power supply mounts a 9 pin SUB-D type socket (9) for the voltage outputs. The
power switch (1) serves also as a visual indication, as it lights up when the power is switched on. The
Earth Link or Ground Link Switch (4) has to be used to avoid ground loops originated when several
devices in the same signal chain are connected to earth simultaneously. This switch lets you isolate
the electrical ground of the circuit board from the mechanical (chassis) earth. In case a ground loop
appeared (hum noise), use either this switch or the equivalent "Earth Link" switches found on the
devices in the signal chain.

4. INSTALLATION

4.1. Placement and Mounting

The main pursuit one has to approach when deciding the placement for the mixer has to be
the maximum comfort for the operator at the same time as permitting an easy access to the
connections for testing and plugging-unplugging the cables. Remember that the mixer will be both a
source and a destination of audio signal from other devices.
Due to the high gain of the PHONO and MIC input stages, you should try to install the mixer
away from potential noise sources (mains transformers, motors, etc.) and kept apart from mains
cables. For that reason you should never remove the metallic cover plate of the device.

4.2. Rack-mounting

In order to avoid damaging the mixer when mounting it on the profiles, the mounting kit
includes a set of plastic and metal washers.

4.3. Substituting a module

The procedure for adding, substituting or changing a module's position is quite simple. To
complete the procedure, follow these steps:
 Disconnect the power supply.
 Remove the rear piece by unscrewing the three screws securing it.
 Unscrew and remove the three screws which secure the front panel and the back panel.
 Take the module out first by pulling the GAIN and AUX knobs and then pulling the chassis
itself.
 Remove the multipin connector (bus) which makes the connections to the rest of modules.
Now you can freely take out the module.

4.4. Adding a new module

 Disconnect the power supply.
 Remove the rear piece by unscrewing the three screws securing it.
 Remove the front and back panels of the blank module in case this exists. To do this,
simply unscrew the three screws securing the blank module.
 Plug in the bus connector which links the new module to the other modules.
 Insert the new module in its position. Sustain it at its three screws.
 Place the rear angular piece and fix it with its three screws.
