Multi Unit Assembly; Installation And Connections - CM Labs Workstation Console Owner's Manual

Multiple Unit Assembly
MotorMate and MotorMix units can be physically con-
nected to each other to create a single larger console.
You may connect MotorMate and as many as 3
MotorMixes together to create a 32 channel console.
Tools required
1.) #4 Phillips head screwdriver.
2.) 1/16" Allen wrench or driver.
Parts Required
1.) 4 pieces 4-40 x 3/8" Phillips head screws (per unit).
2.) 4 pieces 4-40 Nut with captive lock washers (per unit).
Preparation
1.) Remove power cables from all units.
2.) Remove any other cables connected to the units.
Top Cover Removal
1.) Remove 6 Phillips head screws on front and rear of
chassis on all Motor Mix units.
2.) Remove 6 Allen Panhead screws from top of all Motor
Mix units.
3.) Turn the MotorMix units so the back sides (power
entry side) are facing you.
4.) Lift up the rear of the top cover about 2 inches and
rest it on the ledge provided inside.
5.) Raise the rear cover up about 2 inches more with one
hand. With your free hand disconnect the 2 cables
plugged in to the Power Module in the chassis bottom.
Rest the chassis top back on the inside ledge.
6.) Reach your arm over Motor Mix and grab the chassis
at the front (near the faders). With your other hand, lift the
Top Cover off of the ledge about 3 inches. Push forward
and lift the top cover free. Set the Top Covers aside.
Don't worry about keeping track of which top goes with
which bottom.
Side Cheek Removal
If you are joining 2 units, you must remove a Left Side
panel from one, and the Right Side panel from the other.
If you are joining 3 or more units, you must remove a Left
Side Cheek from one, and the Right Side panel from
another, and both Side panels from the remaining Motor
Mix units.

Installation and Connections

Connecting chassis bottoms
1.) Position the Chassis Bottoms side by side just as they
will be connected together. Don't worry about keeping
track of which bottom goes with which top. Insert four 4-
40 machine screws between each chassis bottom and
finger tighten the nuts.
2.) Check and adjust the alignment between the Chassis
Bottoms, and tighten the 4-40 screws.
Re-Fitting Top Covers
1.) Position the Chassis Bottom assembly so the Power
Modules side face you.
2.) Move a Top Cover into position over one end of the
chassis bottom assembly. Position Top Cover at about a
45 degree angle with the rear side high. Slip Top Cover at
fader side over edge of Chassis Bottom and lower rear
side down to rest on ledge of Chassis Bottom.
4.) Lift the Top Cover slightly at rear and reach inside and
plug in the Power Module Cables. Note: The locking tabs
on the connectors go towards the center of the Power
Module.
IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK
THAT THESE CONNECTORS ARE NOT OFF BY A
PIN. IF THEY ARE CONNECTED IMPROPERLY,
SEVERE AND WIDESPREAD DAMAGE WILL RE-
SULT WHEN POWER IS APPLIED.
5.) Lower the Top Cover completely while checking for
binding wires inside along the top.
6.) Repeat steps 1 - 5 above for remaining units without
forcing the Top Covers fully down. When lowering the
remaining tops into final position they may become tight
at the top edge. Lift the entire assembly at the center and
they should drop into place.
Securing Top Covers
1.) Install the (3) #4 Black Phillips sheet metal screws
into each chassis rear but do not tighten.
2.) Install the (6) 4-40 Black Allen screws into each Top
Cover but do not tighten.
3.) Install the (9) #4 Black Panhead Phillips sheet metal
screws into each chassis front but do not tighten.
4.) Check and adjust the alignment between the Chassis
Bottoms, and tighten the 4-40 Black Allen screws.
5.) Tighten all remaining screws.
6.) Turn Power Switches off on all units and connect
power cables.
7.) Power on a unit and check for proper power up cycle.
Repeat for all units. Note that the LCD contrast controls
should be adjusted until all units have same contrast.
