3.3 SWITCHING ON THE UNIT
The power On switch is located on the upper right corner of the front panel and offers two distinct operating
modes: [ECO] and [ON].
In [ECO] mode (economy mode), the meters work on a DOT mode where only one Led is active to show the level.
In [ON] mode, the meters work as a conventional Bargraph.
A previously mentioned the mixer can be powered either from its internal batteries or form an external DC source.
3.3.1 Using dry cells or rechargeable batteries
Insert six batteries in the battery compartment and set the switch to either [ECO] or [ON] to power-up the mixer.
The first green Led on the Left of the upper meter must be flashing. If not:
Check that the batteries have been correctly inserted in the battery holder according to the polarity.
Check that the batteries are properly charged. ( note that new dry cells might sometime by faulty or just
too old...)
3.3.2 Battery charge indicator
When the SX-M32 is powered by its internal batteries, the first Led on the Left of the upper meter is flashing
periodically, depending on the remaining battery charge:
- full charge: the Led flashes once every 2 seconds
- 30% remaining charge: the Led flashes once per seconds
- 10% remaining charge: the Led flashes twice per seconds
When the voltage reaches 1.0 Volt per cell then the SX-M32 will automatically turns Off, thus protecting your
rechargeable batteries from excessive discharge.
3.3.3 Using an external power source
Connect the external DC power supply DC plug to the DC IN connector located on the right left of the mixer and
then set the switch to either [ECO] or [ON] to power-up the mixer. The first green Led on the Left of the upper
meter must light on steady. If not:
Check that the external power supply Voltage is between 6 to 18Volts DC
Check that your power supply sustain at least 5 Watts.
Check that the DC plug is correctly wired.
