TC Electronic M5000 Hardware Installation

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
When the time comes when you want to upgrade your M5000 with additional modules in
order to run more than one effect simultaneously, the procedure is as follows:
1. Switch the machine OFF and disconnect the main power cord.
2. Remove the DUM-1 option plate(s) or module by loosening the 2 screws.
As the M5000 modules are sensitive to static electricity, certain precautions must be taken to
protect them from damage during storage and handling.

STORAGE

Non-mounted modules should always be stored in anti-static shielding bags.

GENERAL HANDLING

When inserting or removing any modules, avoid touching the circuit board by handling only
the rear panel of the module. Modules should always be placed in either an M5000 or in a
shielding bag. To minimize the static potentials that can cause damage to the electronic
circuits, you should observe precautionary grounding techniques such as touching a grounded
M5000 Audio Frame immediately before inserting modules.

REMOVING MODULES

Before removing any module from your M5000, switch off the power and unplug the main
power cable. Unplug all other connections from the module before unscrewing the two screws
securing the module in the Mainframe. When removing a module from an M5000, the
module should be mounted directly in another M5000 or placed in an anti-static shielding bag.

MOUNTING MODULES

Before mounting modules in your M5000, switch off the power and unplug the main power
cable. Remove the dummy-panel or original module from the slot where you want to install
the module. The module should then be removed from the shielding bag and mounted directly
in the M5000 Audio Mainframe by handling the rear panel of the module only. Avoid
touching any components on the PCB-Board.
3. Set the DIP-switches on the module cards as shown below.
