1) Read Instructions - Read all the safety and operation instructions before
operating the System 5 Control Surface.
2) Heed Warnings – Follow all warnings on the Control Modules and in these
operating instructions.
3) Water and Moisture – Do not use the Control Surface near water.
4) Heat – Locate the Control Surface away from heat sources.
5) Power Sources – Connect the Control Modules only to a power supply of the
type described in these operation instructions or as marked on the Control
Modules.
6) Power Cord Protection – Route power cords so that they are not likely to be
walked upon or pinched by items placed on them.
7) Object and Liquid Entry – Do not drop objects or spill liquids on the Control
Surface.
8) Damage Requiring Service – The Control Modules should be serviced only by
qualified personnel when:
a) Objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into the Control Modules;
or
b) A Control Module does not appear to operate or exhibits a marked
change in performance; or,
c) A Control Module has been dropped or sustained other physical
damage.
7) Servicing – Do not attempt to service the Control Modules beyond those
means described in this operation manual. All other servicing should be
referred to the Euphonix Tech Support department.
8) Fuse replacement – To prevent electric shock and avoid risk of fire, replace
fuse only with the same type and rating.
9) To prevent electric shock, do not use the Control Modules polarized plug with
an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully
inserted to prevent blade exposure.
10) Grounding or Polarization – Do not defeat the grounding or polarization of
the Control Modules.
Power On Sequence
The Control Surface modules are powered up by a switch on the back of the frame.
The Control Surface should be powered up after the Virtual Mixer is running.
The System 5 Console consists of a frame and leg assemblies which house a
configurable number of Control Modules that comprise the Control Surface. The
System 5 Control Surface is the digital control center for all the System 5 component
assemblies. The Control Surface communicates with the System 5 component
assemblies via Ethernet network connections. Control signals are transmitted to the
Euphonix EH224 EuCon Hub and distributed to the various System 5 component
assemblies. No audio passes through the Control Surface.
Available in 6 foot, 9 foot, and 12 foot frame widths, the System 5 Control Surface
is modular in construction. The number and variety of Control Modules are
configurable based on the specific needs of each facility. Control modules are 12
inches wide. Filler modules can be ordered in full or half width.
• Silicon grease for bolts (Finish Line bicycle grease works great)
• Aux leg (item 20, not shown on some frame drawings)
• Bus wire, two 24” pieces
• Tap set for 3/8” 24 (3/8” 16 for newer box beams) and 5/16 18 threads
Minimum number of people required: 2. For a 12-foot frame, 3 people are
required.
Refer to the System 5 Frame drawings (pages 7-8) and the Parts Lists at the end
of this manual to help with parts identification and visualization of the steps set
forth in this procedure.
1) Verify that all screws and bolts have been greased. If they aren’t greased, apply
silicon grease to all of them.
2) Start with inserting the middle box beam (item 2) in the left leg (item 3, Leg Left).
You may have to drop the leg panel (item 18, legpnl) to get it in easily. Two people
need to hold up the beam, while the third person holds up the leg. Guide the beam
into the leg (flat side up). Insert a 3/8” 24x1.5 button head bolt (046-06421-00)
with a 3/8” flat washer (081-07193-00) through the leg hole and into the beam,
being careful not to strip the threads. Tighten the bolt fully, using a 7/32” hex
3) After the beam is attached to the leg, the auxiliary leg (12 ft frame only, item 20)
can be put underneath the beam near the center to hold it up. Secure the auxiliary
leg to the beam by inserting a “T” nut (000-06690-00) into the beam, and thread a
5/16x18x0.50 screw (044-07192-00) through the auxiliary leg mounting hole and
into the “T” nut.
4) Insert the rear box beam (item 2) into the left leg next, using the same techniques
outlined in step 2. The auxiliary leg can help to hold up the beam.
5) Prior to inserting the palm beam (item 7) into the left leg, thread the bus wire
through one of the holes of the spread plate (part#726-06404-01, item 8), twistlocking the wire at the spread plate end. Run the other end of the wire through its
matching bolt hole on the left end of the palm beam. The spread plate should mount
inside the end of the palm beam, flat side up. As the palm beam is inserted into the
left leg (rounded side out) guide the bus wire into the matching bolt hole of the leg.
Insert a 3/8” 24x1.5 button head bolt through the leg hole and into the beam, using
the same techniques outlined in step 1. The auxiliary leg can help to hold up the
6) Insert the back beam (item 13) into the left leg, using the same techniques outlined
in step 1. The auxiliary leg can help to hold up the beam.
7) Insert as many “T” nuts in the beams as required. For example, you will need 3 “T”
nuts for the middle box beam’s inner channel and 3 “T” nuts for the palm beam’s
inner channel in order to install the keyboard tray. You will need 4 “T” nuts for each
back cover brace (item 15, brace 1), 2 for the back beam bottom channel and 2 for
the rear box beam outside channel. You will need 2 “T” nuts for each power strip,
usually mounted on the rear box beam.
8) With the auxiliary leg holding up one end of the S5 frame, insert the four beams into
the right leg (item 1, Leg Right), using the same techniques outlined in step 1.
Also, for the palm beam, use the same technique with the spread plate and bus wire
as outlined in step 4.
9) Install the four box beam braces (item 4) on each end of the box beams. Use four
5/16-18x3.5 bolts (043-06688-00) and four 5/16 lock washers (082-066889-00) for
each box beam brace. Use a ½” socket wrench. Do not tighten down fully until the
frame is fully loaded and its width is checked.
10) To secure the spread plates into the palm beam ends, pull down on the bus wire, and
line up the spread plate screw holes with the leg screw holes. With a 3/16” hex
driver, insert a 5/16-18x1.125 flathead screw (046-06409-00) into spread plate screw
hole sans the bus wire. Once the screw is threaded in and tightened down, remove
the bus wire and insert the other counter-sunk screw in the screw hole that the bus
wire previously occupied. You may have to loosen the other screw a little in order to
remove the bus wire.
11) Using the 3/16” hex driver and 5/16-18x2.25 flathead screws (046-06401-00), install
the spread plates (part# 726-06402-01, items 5 & 6) into the back beam ends. (Like
spread plate pictured in Step 5.)
12) Install all the modules into the frame to ensure that their surfaces are flush. Use the
thumbscrews (936-07240-01, S5 thumbscrew kit, 4 per module) to secure the
modules to the box beams. Before installing the 401 module permanently into the
frame, attach the talkback mic bracket (936-07219-01, S5 talkback mic kit) into the
middle top screw hole of the SBC panel, using the screw and insulating washer
supplied in the S5 talkback mic kit.
13) After verifying that the control surface is acceptable, tighten all loose screws and
bolts in the frame. Tighten the bolts on the box beam braces only until their lock
washers flatten, and no further. You will have to temporarily remove the modules on
each end of the frame to be able to tighten the box beam braces.
14) Using a ¼” hex driver and 5/16x18x0.375 socket head screws (044-06686-00), install
the back cover braces (item 15, brace 1). Determine the position of the braces by
aligning them with the back cover mounting screw holes. Move the slide nuts in the
rear box beam and back beam to the brace locations, and mount the braces to them.
