Installation Instructions 

 

  Remove the R-501 Elite module from the packaging. 

  Turn off the 500-series enclosure and remove mains power. 

  Find  an empty slot in the 500-series rack and remove the 2 fastening screws, 

positioned one on the top of the enclosure and one  the  bottom of the enclosure. 

  Insert the R-501 Elite into the empty slot in the 500-series enclosure, Be sure that 

the rear edge connector on the R-501 Elite module mates correctly with the edge 

connector of the 500-series enclosure. 

  Replace the 2 fastening screws through the top & bottom holes in the R-501 Elite 

module and screw into the 500-series enclosure. The module must be secured into 

the enclosure before turning the mains on. 

  Apply mains power into the 500-series enclosure and turn on. 

  Connect the microphone, audio source or instrument and select the correct settings. 

  The module is not designed to be hot-plugged, so please ensure the power to the 

500-series enclosure is OFF before inserting or removing a module (this 

recommendation is useful in order to protect the 500 enclosure circuits, our product 

due to a very robust construction could be hot-plugged without problems).
