Handling and Inserting Modules
Modules can be placed in any position in the rack. It is a good idea to place one module in at a time and test it before
going onto the next. This way if any module causes a problem, it can quickly be identified.

16 pin power socket
(as featured on the Concussor
mod ule, Concussor PSU, and
Integrator PSU)
16 pin ribbon power lead
- same at both ends.
When connecting the power lead
to the sock et, ensure cor rect
ori en ta tion (stripe to pin 1), and
that none of the pins are bent.
Make sure all pins seat correctly
into the socket.
On the Concussor module, the
Integrator power socket will be
marked ‘AS-POWER’ and pin 1
is located by the word ‘STRIPE’.

we CAN tell when a module is blown due to incorrect fitting of power lead. Get it right!
Some modules contain static sensitive circuitry . This circuitry is exposed when not fitted into the rack.
When handling any module, try and only handle it by the front panel. Try not to touch any part of the circuitry.
It is OK to handle the edge of the circuit board. Always disconnect the rack power supply from the mains
when inserting modules or doing anything inside the rack. Note, just a few of the Concussor modules have
the power socket up-side-down. This should not cause any confusion as the power cable is always supplied
fitted when buying a Concussor module.
Concussor modules feature both Doepfer and Integrator power sockets. Please state which system you
intended to use the Concussor module with so we can supply the correct power lead. Default is Doepfer.
The Concussor power supply also features sockets for both. If you run out of sockets on the power supply
board, you can purchase ‘bus power cables’ from us. These are ribbon power leads that feature multiple
power sockets - buss cables - enabling many modules to be plugged into only one power supply socket.
It is up to you to connedt modules to PSUs correctly. Whether you have bought one of our cases, power
boards or adaptor leads, we cannot guarantee your handy work! Also we certainly won’t guarantee our modules if you
are mixing and matching manufacters. To those who have bought our adaptor cables to connect In te gra tor modules to
a Doepfer PSU, or vice versa:- Our adaptor cables are fully tested. However, we do not guarantee the modules or the
power supply under ANY cir cum stance (including faulty cable).
Please refer to the following diagrams for details of connecting the power lead to the power sockets:
