oscillat ors connecte d to the 921A module.
(2 ) SEMITONE /OCTAVE – Use this rocker s witch to
selec t between semit one or octave inc rements for the
FREQUENCY knob.
(3 ) WIDTH OF REC TANGULAR WAVE – Select bet ween
settings ranging from 10% to 90%.
(4 ) CONTROL INPUT/FREQUENCY – Connect incoming

link jack s. The right outpu t jack is for rect angular wave
width con trol signals and conn ects to one of the 921B
width lin k jacks. The secon dary parallel li nk jacks on the
921B can then be chain ed to other 921B VCO modules,
and up to twe lve 921B modules c an be driven by the
921A dr iver.
Power Connection
The 921A OSCILLATOR DRIVER m odule comes with t he required
power cab le for connectin g to a standard Euror ack power supply
system . Follow these step s to connect power to t he module.
It is easier to m ake these connec tions before the m odule has been
mounted in to a rack case.
1. Turn the power su pply or rack case p ower o and
disconne ct the power cabl e.
2. Insert the 16- pin connector o n the power cable into t he
socket on t he power supply or rac k case. The connec tor has
a tab that wi ll align with the gap in t he socket, so it can not
be inser ted incorrec tly. If the power supply d oes not have
a keyed socke t, be sure to orient pi n 1 (-12 V) with the red
stripe o n the cable.
3. Insert the 10 -pin connecto r into the socket on th e back of
the module. T he connector has a t ab that will align wi th the
socket for correct orientation.
4. After both en ds of the power cable hav e been securely
attac hed, you may mount the mo dule in a case and tur n on
the power supply.
Installation
The neces sary screws ar e included with th e module for mount ing
in a Eurorac k case. Connect t he power cable bef ore mounting.
Dependi ng on the rack case, th ere may be a series of x ed holes
spaced 2 HP ap art along the leng th of the case, or a tra ck that
allows indi vidual threaded p lates to slide along th e length
of the cas e. The free-movi ng threaded plate s allow precise
positio ning of the module, bu t each plate should be po sitioned in
the approx imate relation to th e mounting holes in yo ur module
before attaching the screws.
Hold the mo dule against the Eur orack rails so that e ach of the
mounting h oles are aligned wi th a threaded rail o r threaded
plate. Att ach the screws par t way to start, w hich will allow
small adjus tments to the pos itioning while you g et them all
aligned. After the nal position has been established, tighten the
screws d own.
