Preparations
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;
p. 18).
Install only the specified circuit board(s) (VS8F-2). Remove only the
specified screws (
p. 6).
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.
