Introduction Thank you for purchasing an Avatar Patch Panel Kit! These instructions are intended to guide you through installing and using this kit. Before we get started, let’s go over a few guidelines: Never open the Avatar or perform any service on it when the unit is plugged in to AC power.
Positioning, Marking, and Drilling The vinyl adhesive panel overlay is used as a template for marking and drill- ing the ARP Avatar front panel. Line up the graphics horizontally and adjust vertically so the top edge of the vinyl overlay just meets the orange front panel graphic under the LFO Re- peat switch.

Panel Mounting and PCB Mounting Before affixing the vinyl overlay to the Avatar panel, dry fit and verify the alignment of the overlay, panel holes, and patch board hardware, securing the jack hardware only loosely in place. Inaccurately drilled panel holes may result in a slight buckling or misalignment of the overlay which can be remedied by slightly enlarging the misaligned holes.

vCF Connections When connecting the VCF portion of the patch panel to the Avatar PCB, mote that a resistor must be removed, and two wires of the IDE cable must be connected and soldered together. Figure 11 has a yellow dotted box to indicate that the 1M resistor in the pcb above must be removed.
