Empath Rotary Fader
Replacement
The main channel faders in the Rotary
Empath are sealed to prevent contamina-
tion. Cleaning is not possible, they must be
replaced if damaged. The pot is Rane part
#15422, and may be ordered from the Rane
factory within the U.S.A., or your distributor
outside the U.S.A. Follow these directions:
1. Required Tools: #1 Philips screwdriver,
small wrench.
2. Disconnect the power.
3. Remove knobs from controls covered by
the lower Lexan faceplate.
4. Remove the four screws attaching the
Lexan faceplate.
5. Remove the Lexan faceplate as seen here.
6. The three rotary pots are mounted on a
separate plate. Remove the six screws hold-
ing the fader mounting plate.
7. Lift the plate out of the chassis and rotate
it up as in the photo below.
8. Carefully disconnect the ribbon connector
from the fader assembly.
9. Use a small wrench to remove the nut
holding the fader to the plate.
10. Insert the new fader where the old one
was. Fasten the nut so the ribbon connec-
tor aims to the left as in the photo below.
Attach the ribbon connector.
