After constant use the SMX.501 faders may need to be cleaned and lubricated
from time to time. This will ensure long life and keep a smooth feeling through-
out the fader's lifetime. Follow the instructions below to lubricate and clean your
faders:
Removing a fader:
1. Make sure mixer is powered off and power supply is
disconnected from back of mixer.
2. To remove the Protekt Panel, take off the 4 main
fader knobs and then remove the 4 screws located
at the corners of the panels. Lift the panel to
remove.
3. Remove the fader to be cleaned or replaced by
unscrewing the 2 outer screws on the fader plate
(removing the 2 inner screws will detach the fader
from the fader plate).
4. Disconnect the fader from mixer by removing the 4-
pin connector on the bottom of the fader.
Installing a fader:
1. Once original fader has been removed, simply plug
the 4-pin connector into the new fader.
2. There is a recessed button on the left end of the
front panel which switches the mixer circuit between a
standard fader and the Focus Fader (not included).
Use a pin or thin screwdriver to access the button.
When the LED above the button is lit, the Focus Fader
circuit is engaged. When using a P&G fader, make
sure the LED is off.
3. Place fader back in mixer and replace 2 outer screws to secure fader.
Cleaning a Penny & Giles fader:
1. Remove 2 mounting screws from fader plate. (NOTE: The P&G fader is
designed with floating mounting threads for precise mechanical centralizing of
the fader. If you desire to keep your fader`s current mounting position we sug-
gest that you make 2 marks on both ends of the
fader on the fader plate to indicate the P&G fader
position.) See Figure 1.
2. Once fader is removed from unit, remove the two
screws (A) from the end of the fader body where
the wires exit the fader casing. Pull away the end
block. Withdraw the dust cover (B). Taking great
care, remove the slider assembly (C), ensuring that
the wiper contacts (D) are not damaged as this will
