CONTROL SURFACE DISASSEMBLY Removing a 12 or 8 Fader Panel 1. Loosen both 2mm hex screws from the front edge of the panel. The panel will rise upwards from the chassis. The screws are held into the panel so should only be unscrewed enough to release the panel.
Removing a Control Cell panel 1. With the 12 fader panel removed, carefully push the Control Cell panel upwards from below to lift its front edge. Lever the panel backwards on its top edge to expose the connections below. 2. Disconnect the upper left and upper right ribbon cables from the processor card by pulling the levers either side of each socket outward.
3. Also disconnect the 20-way ribbon on the right-hand side of the section processor card. 4. Finally disconnect the Molex connector from the underside of the USB and reset board by pulling the connector off the socket. 5. Lift the panel towards you to remove it from the surface.

3. If removing a touch screen, the touch control cable must also be removed from the section processor card. To remove this cable lift the Molex connector from the socket. 4. Using a 2.5mm Hex screwdriver, unscrew the two screws which hold the display in place.
Removing a Fader Section Processor Card 1. Remove all surface panels from the console section. 2. Disconnect all remaining connections from the section processor card. For the 8 fader section this also includes the surface fibre links and their SFPs. The two-way Molex connector at the rear is latching.
5. To remove the processor card from the surface, slide the tray towards you then lift it over the nuts at each corner. Be careful not to catch the card or processor heatsink on the chassis cross bar. Removing the Headphone and Talkback board The Headphone and Talkback board is fixed to the rear of the console inside the 8 fader section.
Removing the PSU module Disconnect both AC power cables. Hold the PSU handle to support the weight of the PSU module. Slide the PSU latch to the side, into the unlocked position. The PSU module will drop onto the shelf below Tilt the top edge of the PSU and lift the module away from the surface to remove...
Removing the Power Supply Distribution board The power and reset distribution board is situated inside the chassis, behind the touch display. 1. Remove the PSU module from the rear of the chassis. 2. Remove the 8 fader, monitor and display panels. 3.
Replacing Motorised Faders Summa consoles are distributed with either Penny & Giles or ALPS motorised faders. To service either fader type follow the steps given below. 1. Remove the panel from the surface. 2. Carefully turn the panel over and...
Cleaning Motorised Faders For up-to-date information on how to clean your faders, or to order any cleaning/lubrication products, please contact the manufacturer of your faders. Replacing Small Displays Each fader channel includes a mini TFT display. This display, and the transparent window which covers it, can be easily removed and replaced.
It is possible to change this setting using the configuration screen. A full set of CUT button caps is included with each Summa console. If specified during the ordering process a set of ON caps will be included.
Replacing a CY6136 circuit board To replace a CY6136 circuit follow the guidance given here to remove it, and all other components fitted to it, from the 12 fader panel. When fitting the replacement circuit board be sure to reinstall all removed parts and to clean each small display of any fingerprints or dust using a lint-free cloth.
Replacing Motorised Faders Summa fader motors can be easily removed for service or replacement. See “Replacing Motorised Faders” on page 19 for a step-by-step guide. Cleaning Motorised Faders For up-to-date information on how to clean your faders, or to order any cleaning/lubrication products, please contact the manufacturer of your faders.
Replacing a GY6138 or GY6139 circuit board To replace a GY6138 or GY6139 circuit the guidance given here to remove it, and all other components fitted to it, from the 8 fader panel. When fitting the replacement circuit board be sure to reinstall all removed parts and to clean each small display of any fingerprints or dust using a lint-free cloth.
Control Cell Panel Each Summa console includes one Control Cell panel (CA6161) per 12 fader panel. Each panel contains two identical circuit boards (CC6135). Each circuit board is connected to the section processor board by a single 34-way ribbon cable.
11. Place the board back into the panel and fix it in place with all nine screws. Do not forget the fixing obscured by the ribbon. Replacing Buttons All buttons on the Summa surface are made up of rubber key mats fitted between the circuit boards and the metal front panels.
Replacing a CC6135 circuit board To replace a CC6135 circuit follow the guidance given here to remove it, and all other components fitted to it, from the Control Cell panel. When fitting the replacement circuit board be sure to reinstall all removed parts and to clean each small display of any fingerprints or dust using a lint-free cloth.
Monitor Panel Each Summa console includes a single Monitor Panel (ML6157). Each panel contains two circuit boards (ML6137 and RI6147). The larger circuit board (ML6137) is connected to the section processor board by a single 34-way ribbon cable. The smaller circuit board (RI6147) is connected to the section processor board by a single 20-way cable.
Replacing Buttons RI6147 Each RI6147 contains a single ‘Surface Reset’ button. From the front of the panel this is obscured by the overlay and metalwork with only a small hole above it. To replace the button mat beneath follow these steps: 1.
6. Lift the circuit board from the panel and turn it over. 7. Remove the two black rubber light-blocking mats from the Stereo and Mute/TB buttons then carefully pull the mat free from the circuit board, allowing the rubber tabs to pass through the fixing holes in the board. 8.
Meter Display Each Summa fader section includes an up-stand Meter Display (MD6171) Each Meter Display is connected to the 12-fader section processor card by two cables; a TFT Data connection and a LED backlight connection. To replace a Meter Display, follow the removal instructions given in the ‘Console Surface Disassembly’...
Touch Display Each Summa console includes an up-stand Touch Display (MU6170). The Touch Display is connected to the 8 fader section processor card by three cables; a TFT Data connection, a LED backlight connection and a touch sense connection. To replace a Touch Display, follow the removal instructions given in the ‘Console...
12 Fader Section Processor Card Each 12 fader section contains a processor board (UN6144) which handles all control, communication and display data. Each 12 fader section processor is connected to the 8 fader section processor card via a shielded Cat5 cable. The location of each 12 fader section (i.e.
Replacing a MicroSD card Each section processor includes a single MicroSD card to store the processor’s operating system. To remove and replace the MicroSD card follow these steps below: 1. The MicroSD card is held in place by a metal catch. To release the card, slide the latch towards the centre of the circuit board.
8 Fader Section Processor Card The 8 fader section contains a processor board (UN6143) which handles all control, communication and display data for the section as well as communications with all other surface sections and the DSP rack. 8 fader section processors are connected to the 12 fader section processor cards via shielded Cat5 cables.
Power Supply and Distribution Each Summa console surface is powered by a PSU cartridge installed at its rear. Each PSU cartridge contains two discrete PSU modules which provide redundant power. Each PSU module can be easily removed and replaced if required.

3. Remove the case to expose the two PSU modules. 4. Cut off any cable-ties connected to the case of the PSU module to be removed. PSU 2 PSU 1 5. Disconnect the large white Molex power inlet connector at the base of the PSU module. You may require a flat blade screwdriver to gently lift back the socket latch to release the connector.
7. Unscrew the relevant four fixing screws for the PSU module to be removed, this PSU 1 PSU 2 will release it from the PSU cartridge case. 8. To install a replacement PSU module follow these steps in reverse. Ensure that all power connectors are firmly seated and the loose power inlet leads are re-secured to the PSU module case...
Headphone and Talkback Interface Board The Headphone and Talkback board (PT6155) is fixed to the rear of the console inside the 8 fader section. This board provides an interface between XLR inputs/output on the rear interface panel and the built- in headphone output and talkback microphone.
The Summa system makes this process straightforward by storing copies of the correct software and firmware version for each device in the rack-mounted core.
