Note:This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment
in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Caution: Any changes or modifications made by the user that are not expressly ap-
proved by Euphonix could void the user’s right to operate the equipment.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The lighting flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert
the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure
that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electrical shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the product.
1)Read these instructions.
2)Keep these instructions.
3)Heed all warnings.
4)Follow all instructions.
5)Do not use this apparatus near water.
6)Clean only with a dry cloth.
7)Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8)Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9)Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has
two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong. The wider blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided
plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold
with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has
been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been
spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or
moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15) WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE
THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
16) Do not expose this equipment to dripping or splashing and ensure that no objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, are placed on the equipment.
17) To completely disconnect this equipment from the AC Mains, disconnect the power supply
cord plug from the AC receptacle.
18) The mains plug of the power supply cord shall remain readily operable.
19) This unit is provided with a power supply cord set suitable for 120V AC input only (for U.S.A.
and Canada). For other than U.S.A. and Canada, a qualified person must provide for use with
this unit, an appropriate, approved power supply cord set which is in compliance with the end
use country requirements and has a minimum cross-sectional area of 1.0mm2.
20) For units with more than one power cord:
Caution: This unit has more than one power supply cord. Disconnect two power supply
cords before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
Attention: Cet appareil comporte plus d’un cordon d’alimentation. Afin de prévenir les
chocs électriques, débrancher les deux cordons d’alimentation avant de faire le
dépannage.
21) Operator Accessible Fuse:
Caution: For continued protection against risk of fire, replace only with same type and

Description
The Max Air Console consists of a configurable number of Control Modules that comprise the Control Surface. The Max Air Control Surface is the digital control center for
all Max Air system components and communicates with them via Ethernet network
connections. Control signals are transmitted via the Ethernet switch and distributed to
the Max Air system components. No audio passes through the Control Surface.
Overview
The Max Air console must contain a CM404 center section module and can have up to
three fully loaded CM416 16-channel Modules, each with 16 physical faders. The system
can have up to 48 faders, not including the eight faders in the CM404 master section.
The CM416HL and CM416HR are half-loaded (left or right) 8-fader modules that can
be used to expand your system.

Self Test Procedure
The following pages describe the operation of standalone self-test software for the Max
Air control modules. The self-test code is designed to be invoked in a module right after
power-up and before the Single Board Computer (SBC) downloads code.
Initiating Self Test
Enter self-test by pressing the self-test enter keys shown below. This must be done before the SBC code download. If code download from the SBC occurs during the selftest, the module automatically exits self-test and executes the downloaded code. Use
the keys shown below to perform the different tests. After entering the test, use the detailed description of each test on the following pages to navigate through different
modes within a test.

NOTE: To avoid overheating, the module should not be left with All LEDS on for more
than 5 minutes.
Fader Test
All Fader Up
All faders all the way up.

All faders all the way down.
Fader Echo Test
All faders follow the one fader touched.
Fader Loop Test with Speed Control
All faders cycle up and down at the speed determined by the speed control knob. This
fader cycle test times out after 5 minutes to protect the faders from burning out.
Backstop PFL Switch Test
The Backstop PFL display lights up when a fader is pulled back to enable its backstop
PFL switch. This mode is always active.
Fader I/O
•Fader Write value display
Any value written to a fader is displayed in its designated fader write intelligent
display. This mode is always active in fader test mode.
•Fader Read value display
All faders are continuously read and the read value is displayed in its designated fader read intelligent display.

Touchscreen Alignment
The Max Air Touchscreen can be calibrated using the Elo Touchscreen utility. Note
that different users may have slightly different ways of touching the screen. If an operator finds they often miss onscreen objects, re-calibrate the touchscreen:
1.Select Control Panel from the Start menu.
Figure 6
2.Double-touch Elo Touchscreen.
Figure 7
The Elo popup appears.

3.Touch Align and follow the onscreen instructions.
When asked to touch the targets on the screen, best results are achieved by touching the
targets naturally without thinking too much about it. This aligns the touchscreen to an
individual’s hand-eye coordination.

Changing the ID of a CM416 Module
1.Power cycle the module and then simultaneously press and hold the two lower
knobs on the first strip before the module connects to the System PC (you have
about 15 seconds).
2.Set the ID using the first strip only in each CM416. Do not set the ID using strip
nine.
The CM416 displays shows “Position – 0000 Use 1st fader to set module position.”
3.Move the fader on strip one to select the ID.
The ID appears as a hexadecimal number (0=ID 1, 1=ID 2, 2=ID 3, 3=ID 4,
4=ID 5, 5=ID 6).
4.Press strip one’s fader Select key to commit to the new ID.
The module continues to boot only after committing to the change.

Fans
The CM416 modules have low-noise internal fans and a thermal sensor between the
displays on strips five and six. If a module gets too hot, the fans automatically turn on
at a low or high speed depending on the temperature. The fans turn off automatically
when the internal temperature returns to normal.
