Modules Overview None of the Genesys modules contain any user serviceable parts, and should they develop a fault, they will always need returning to AMS Neve for repair (or to one of our officially nominated Service Centres). Channel Input Module These modules do not have any addressable switches, and can be freely swapped to any other Channel position on the console. Rev Return Module These modules do not have any addressable switches, but they cannot be swapped to any other Rev Return position on the console. Dynamics Cassettes/ EQ Cassettes / AD/DA Cassettes / Channel Meter panel All of these can be swapped between different 8-fader sections of the desk, but an address switch block on each card needs to be set to reflect it's position on the desk. Please see Appendix A on page 226 for a table these switch settings. Console Hardware Considerations Modules should never be removed or inserted with the power on. Only when the computer has been shut down correctly and the power has been removed, should modules be inserted into (or removed from) the console. Removing Modules ▶ Firstly, ensure the computer has been shut-down correctly and the power has been removed from the console. ▶ Remove the console-wide thin metal strip attached to the bottom of the meter strip that also keeps the channel modules securely in place. The modules cannot be removed while this is in place. ▶ Remove the two screws on the module you wish to remove, one each at the top and bottom of the module. ▶ Screw the two module extraction tools into the top and bottom of the module. These are two black plastic rods (about 10cms in length) that have been supplied with your console (part number 727-013). ▶ Apply even pressure to both extraction tools and pull the module gently from the console, taking care not to catch it on the adjacent modules. Inserting Modules ▶ Firstly, ensure the computer has been shut-down correctly and the power has been removed from the console. ▶ Guide the bottom module edge between the two runners at the bottom of the module. ▶ Slowly slide the module into the console, taking care not to catch the edges on any of the adjacent modules. When inserting modules into the console chassis, care must be taken so that equal pressure is applied the whole length of the module, rather than just applying pressure to each end of the module. ▶ When the back of the module reaches the backplane, apply a slow, even pressure to the entire length of the module. This will ensure that a good contact is made between the module and the audio busses on the backplane responsible for the audio. ▶ Push the module until it makes a secure connection with the backplane. - 30 -
There are two audio connectors on each module (either side of centre) that mate into the console backplane. Failure to make sure the module is seated correctly in the chassis, can result in missing audio busses and incomplete functionality on a module. Hotplugging ▶ The power must always be removed before any module or cassette is inserted into (or removed from) the console chassis. Inserting or removing modules while the power is still on will invalidate the manufacturers warranty. - 31 -
