CAT Eurorack Installation
Step 5: Eurorack
(EN)
Installation
The CAT synthesizer can be removed from its factory chassis
and installed into a standard Eurorack chassis (not supplied).
The module width is 70HP.
We recommend that this procedure is undertaken only by
experienced service technicians, to prevent personal injury, or
damage to the unit.
The Eurorack case will need its own suitable power supply unit to
power the CAT synthesizer.
A 10-pin connector on the rear of the main PCB of the CAT allows
the +12 VDC power supply connection to be made. A 10-pin
to 16-pin adapter ribbon cable is supplied to connect to your
power supply.
Before proceeding, make sure that your power
supply is capable of supplying +12 VDC, 1 Amp.
Make sure that the connections using the supplied
adapter cable will supply the ground and power to
the correct pins of X17.

1.
Disconnect the power cord and all other
