Fitting the motor is fairly obvious but will vary slightly from
deck to deck.
The motor is normally supplied with a “tall” pulley but you
may need a shorter pulley (10mm less in height) – Please
contact us if this is case. The motor sounds best supported
by only 1 bolt. You can tension the belt by pivoting the
motor plate about the bolt and relying on the bolt friction to
hold the motor in position. You should aim to have at least
the belt tension required to prevent the platter running slow
or incurring speed variation due to slippage. To this end it is
best to have it relatively tight when setting the motor speed
and then slacken it off fractionally without any loss in sound
quality once you know the speed is correct. There will be
an optimum tension although it is not always easy to tell by
listening and the tension is not that critical.
See fitting the motor kit to the lp12 for more information.

Plug the motor and power supply plugs into the
matching sockets at the rear of the control boxr.
1. Plug the smaller male dc connector from the motor
into the left hand of the two holes at the back of
the control box (See diagram below)
2. Plug the male dc connector from the transformer
(low voltage input) into the right hand socket
(when looking at the back of the box) another way
of describe it is the socket directly behind the LED.
3. You will know that the motor kit is connected up
correctly when the LED comes on (This light will
remain lit all the time that the motor kit is plugged
in at the mains supply).
The location of the control box should preferably
be kept away from strong electromagnetic fields
such as those generated by transformers, amplifiers,
power supplies etc.

To upgrade to the Origin Live Upgrade transformer you simply need to unplug your existing transformer (mains connection) and plug
in the upgrade transformer.
Note: You will need to set/reset the speed if you are changing up to the upgrade transformer see setting speed below.
