IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Please read all of these instructions and
save them for later reference before
attempting to connect the ASP8700 PSU
to the AC power source and the ASP8024
console. To prevent electrical shock and
fire hazard follow all the warnings and
instructions marked on the ASP8700.
· This unit is connected via its power
cord to the mains safety earth.
NEVER OPERATE THE UNIT WITH THIS
EARTH CONNECTION REMOVED
· Check that the correct operating
voltage has been set for your AC mains
supply
· Check that the fuse fitted is the
correct type for the mains voltage selected

THE STAND
The stand will be found beneath the
console in the crate . There are 2 identical
legs , a crossmember and 2 cover panels.
Lay the legs out approximately the width
of the console apart and place the
crossmember between them. Use the
supplied hex headed M8 bolts to secure
the crossmember to each leg ( a 13mm
AF spanner will be required). The unused
holes in the outside of each leg should be
filled using the 9.5mm caps supplied.
Screw a foot onto the bottom of each leg.
Place the stand in an upright position and
place the console on top. Secure the
console with 12 M6 bolts. Finish by
adjusting the feet to take up any
unevenness in the floor. There is about 1
inch of adjustment available on each foot.
Cover panels for the rear of the stand legs
and are secured using 4 M4 screws each.
REMOVING MODULES FOR
SERVICE
The console is divided into a number of
removable modules. In a 36 channel
console there are 3 I/O modules each
containing 12 I/O Channels, a Master
Module, 3 I/O Input Pods and a Master
Meter Pod.
To access an I/O or Master module the
wooden arm rest must be removed by
undoing the 4 x M6 retaining screws from
the underside of the console. Release the
2 x M6 screws from the underside of the
console, located in the dimples below the
module to be removed. Remove the
extruded trim strips from each side of the
required module and between the
meterbridge and the modules.
Swing the module up (it is hinged) and
remove the 3 x 40 way connectors on the
right hand side of the circuit board.
Remove the 3 x 16 way cables to the meter
panel. If automation is fitted be careful to
remove the ribbon cables linking each fader
to the automation controller cards before
attempting to fully lift the module.
Remove the green grounding cable by
undoing the single M3 screw attaching it
to the circuit board. Hold the module by
the sides, lift it slightly back and up to clear
the hinge then pull forward for removal.
Removing the Master Module is similar to
the above. All ribbon cables should be
removed other than those marked LINK
1 and LINK 2. The two power connectors
should be removed noting their orientation
for later reassembly.
Installation of the modules is a reverse of
the above procedures. Hold the module in
an approximately horizontal position
making sure that it is correctly aligned over
the hinges and then gently lower it into
position. With the module in position
reconnect the cables to their original
positions.
To remove the pods the connector panel
should first of all be hinged down by
unscrewing the 7 x M4 securing screws.
The panel must be supported in it’s
lowered position to prevent it becoming
detatched from the frame. Undo the
cables to the connector panels at the
connector panel end. This gives access
to the 3 x M6 screws retaining the Top
Trim which can then be removed.
The 3 x M3 screws retaining each pod can
now be removed. The pod will now hinge
forward slightly and can then be removed
by lifting it vertically up.
