If the above instructions are followed the procedure should be routine; if they are not, you could run the risk of damaging the console's logic chips. Again, to avoid ANY possibility of this damage, whenever possible we strongly recommend powering down the console before replacing any modules. D-70 / Apr 2000...

The first step is to ground the console. Note that as supplied from the factory, console rackmount power supply common, audio ground, and the D-70 mainframe are connected together at the console, but are NOT connected to electrical ground and the chassis of the power supply.
(next section). Power Supply The D-70 console is powered by a Audioarts Model SPS-16 rackmount power supply. This unit occupies two 19” wide rack spaces (total height 3-1/2”). Convection cooled, it requires ample ventilation space above and below it.

Every D-70 console has a central controller and a digital signal processor. The D-70 Digital Audio console is provided with a serial interface port, which is located on the DB-15 connector of the rear panel (see connection diagrams for pinouts on the page 6-8). This serial interface is designed to provide a number of functions including external control and set-up, software updates, system interface, etc.

(and hence the output make-up gain) should be. Consult the “Global Gain” table in the “Internal Program- ming Options” section, page 6-6, for the gain values. The D-70 console is normally shipped with a make-up gain setting of +12dB for a nominal fader setting of -12dB from the top.
(via jumpers on the PR-70 PCB) or else serial communications will not function correctly. No serial interface connections are required for normal, stand alone operation of the D-70 console; in fact the console will work normally with an improper connection to the serial interface.

PR-60 PCB. Push the LOC/REM button on the CRD-70 module to enable remote operation and start the program on the PC. Use the program as described in this manual to modify the D-70 console configuration. Once the configuration has been set, the PC can be disconnected from the console.
Weight Console Note: Each D-70 Console ID# is set by jumpers J29-J36. These jumpers are read as an 8 bit field with Bit Ø mapped to jumper J33 and Bit 7 mapped to jumper J29. This ID# is read by the CPU at boot up and is required by serial communications software.
