Installing Effect Expansion Boards
VS-1824 build in one VS8F-2 effect expansion board. When one or two VS8F-
2 boards are installed, you will be able to use up to two stereo effects for each
board without connecting any additional equipment to the VS-1824. Up to
two of these effect expansion boards may be installed in the VS-1824.
Cautions When Installing an Effect Expansion
Board
●
Always turn the unit off and unplug the power cord before attempting
installation of the circuit board (VS8F-2;
).
●
Install only the specified circuit board(s) (VS8F-2). Remove only the
specified screws (
● To avoid the risk of damage to internal components that can be caused
by static electricity, please carefully observe the following whenever you
handle the board.
• Before you touch the board, always first grasp a metal object (such as a
water pipe), so you are sure that any static electricity you might have
been carrying has been discharged.
• When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid touching
any of the electronic components or connectors.
• Save the bag in which the board was originally shipped, and put the
board back into it whenever you need to store or transport it.
● Use a Phillips screwdriver that is suitable for the size of the screw (a
number 2 screwdriver). If an unsuitable screwdriver is used, the head of
the screw may be stripped.
● To remove a screw, rotate the screwdriver
counter-clockwise. To tighten a screw, rotate
the screwdriver clockwise.
● When installing effect expansion boards,
remove only the specified screws.
● Be careful that the screws you remove do not drop into the interior of the
VS-1824.
● Do not leave the bottom cover in a detached state. Be sure to reattach it
after the effect expansion boards have been installed.
● Do not touch any of the printed circuit pathways or connection
terminals.
● Be careful not to cut your hand on the edge of the installation bay.
● Never use excessive force when installing a circuit board. If it doesn’t fit
properly on the first attempt, remove the board and try again.
● When circuit board installation is complete, double-check your work.
