3.1 Operating statuses
The drive unit is always in one of the following operating statuses:
• ON:
The drive unit is ready for use.
• OFF:
The drive unit is in standby mode and is awaiting its next use.
• MotionCarefunction:
The drive unit „wakes up“ after a waiting period and turns the turn-
table only for about 20 s to maintain the drive belt and bearings at a
lowered speed.
3.2 „ON“
3.2.1 The motor runs
When the motor runs, the corresponding speed of the platter is displayed.
If a speed deviating from the standard value has been selected („Pitch“),
the display shows the actual speed.
If the motor accelerates or brakes,
the target speed display flashes to indicate
that the target speed has not yet been achieved.
The characteristics of this dynamic can be configured, which means that
the duration of this process varies depending on the setting (➔ 5.5.2).
3.2.2 The motor is stopped
Display when the motor is stopped:
3.2.3 The motor is stopped and there are alerts
The drive unit records the operating time of the components „drive belt“
and „pickup“. A maximum operating time can be set for each of these
components. If one or more of the components reaches the maximum
operating time, a alert message appears on the display.
If the adjustable limits for the max. operating time of the drive belt or
one or more pickups are reached, the corresponding alerts are displayed,
alternating with the display for the currently active pickup, indicating that
the selected maximum operating time of a component has been achieved.

3.3 „OFF“
The drive unit is switched off and is in standby mode. The motor is in free-
wheel mode and can be moved easily.
„OFF“ appears in the display and disappears after approx. 10 s.
after 10 s
3.4 Motion Care function
The Motion Care function maintains the drive belt and all bearings asso-
ciated with the platter movement. To do this, the drive unit „wakes up“
after a waiting time of 24 h and rotates the platter at a reduced speed for
about 20 s.
Once the set rotation time has elapsed, the motor stops and the drive unit
starts to countdown the waiting time until the next run of Motion Care.
When the Motion Care function is activated, the current status of the func-
tion is shown on the display.
Display MotionCareStatus
The remaining time until the next Motion Care run is
displayed in „hh.mm“.
If the remaining time until the next Motion Care run is
less than 1 h, the display changes to „mm.ss“.
The leading „P“ indicates an active „Motion Care“ run.
While a Motion Care run is performed, the remaining
active time is displayed in seconds „ss“.

4.5 Starting/stopping the motor
► To start the motor, press key [33 45] to select the last used platter
speed.
As long the motor accelerates or brakes, the target speed display flashes,
to indicate that the target speed has not been reached yet.
As soon as the drive unit reached the target speed, the speed is displayed
continuously.
► Press [On Off] to stop the motor.
The drive unit changes to operating mode; the display shows „0“ (➔ 4.2).
4.6 Select speed
The drive unit provides 2 speeds.
The selection is made by pressing key [33 45].
Key [33 45] switches 2 speeds: For the first time it is pressed a speed of
33.33 rpm is set.
Pressing key [33 45] again sets the speed to 45.00 rpm. Each further actua-
tion of key [33 45] switches between the speeds 45,00 rpm and 33.33 rpm.

User manual Drive unit DAE-01 CL

4.7 Vary standard speed („Pitch“)
Each of the standard speeds can be varied with a resolution of 0.01 rpm.
There are no restrictions regarding the setting value: The speed can be set
from the minimum to the maximum possible speed of the motor.
► Press keys [33 45] (repeatedly) to select the desired speed of the
platter.
The motor starts and accelerates to nominal speed.
► Press [+] to increase speed.
► Press [-] to decrease speed.
Short pressing changes the speed by 0.01 rpm. Longer pressing changes
the speed continuously, whereby the step size of the speed change
increases by the duration of the key operation.
The maximum step size of the change can be set individually in the confi-
guration menu under menu item „Key Delay“.
The display shows the target speed. As long as the display is flashing, the
drive unit is in the dynamic phase and the selected speed has not yet been
achieved.
A pitch setting will not be stored!
A varied speed setting is retained only until key [33 45] is
pressed again or the device is switched off with key [On Off].
4.8 Operating time alerts
In order to ensure optimum playback quality and to protect your valuable
vinyl discs, the drive belt and pickup should be replaced after a certain
period of operation.
We have therefore integrated separate hour meters for drive belt and
pickup into these drive units.
The number of hours until a operating time alert for component replace-
ment appears on the display can be set individually in the Configuration
menu (➔ 5.5).
When the maximum operating time of the drive belt and/or the pickup has
been reached, the corresponding warning notes are shown, alternating
with the display of „0“, indicating that the adjusted maximum operating
time of a component has been achieved.

5. Configuration menu
The Configuration menu allows the individually adaptation of the drive
unit to the requirements of the platter.
For the correct speed, the relationship between the pulley and the platter
must be considered very carefully. It is also very important to optimize
acceleration and braking forces in order to match the material properties
of the drive belt and the mass of the platter.
This allows the drive unit to be optimally adjusted to the pairing with the
platter and adapted to actual conditions.
The channels are not numbered consecutively, they are organized in mea-
ningful categories:
• Channels below 100 are intended for the general channels „Dimmer“,
„Key Delay“ and „Pickup“.
• Channels 100 ... 123 concern the „Set“
• Channel 999 is for reset to factory defaults
„Gaps“ in channel numbering during selection therefore are completely
normal.
5.1 Call up Configuration menu
► Press and hold the [On Off] key and then briefly press the [-] key to
enter the Configuration menu.

► Press [-] to decrease channel number.
After selecting the channel to be edited, the channel number and the cur-
rent value for this channel are displayed alternately.

5.3 Changing channel value
► Press and hold the [33 45] key and then briefly press the [+] key to
increase channel value.
► Press and hold the [33 45] key and then briefly press the [-] key to
decrease channel value.
Pressing and holding the buttons [+] / [-] for a longer time will change the
channel value continuously, whereby the step size of the change of the
channel value increases by the duration of the button operation.
► Press and hold the [33 45] and [On Off] key to restore the original
channel value („Undo“).
While the channel value is changed, only the channel value is shown in the
display.
The effect of change a channel value is immediate, if possible. For exam-
ple, the speed settings are directly passed on to the motor with each chan-
nel value change, so that the resulting changes can be checked directly.
If the value of a channel is not changed for a certain time, the current value
for this channel and the channel number is displayed alternately again.
When you exit the Configuration menu by pressing the [On Off] key,
changed channel values are stored in the non-volatile memory and thus
remain safely stored until any later changes are made, even in the event
of a power failure.
Some channels are used only to display actual values.
A change of these channel values therefore is not possible.
There is no need to hurry while changing values in the Con-
figuration menu.
The Configuration menu will not be exited until the [On Off]
key has been pressed.

5.4 General configuration channels
Channels below 100 are intended for the general channels „Dimmer“, „Key
Delay“, „Set“ and „Pickup“.
5.4.1 Dimmer
These channels control the brightness behavior of the display.
During the operation the display is dimmed brighter (Dimm Max) to facili-
tate the operation of the drive unit.
If no more operation is made, the display remains bright for some time
(Dimm Delay) and then darkens (Dimm Min) in order not to be disturbingly
noticed.
Channel Function Variable Range of values
1Dimm Min yes 0,0 - 99,0
2Dimm Max yes 0,0 - 99,0
3Dimm Delay yes 00,01 - 02,00
5.4.2 Key Delay
Values can be changed step by step by short keystrokes or continuously
by longer keystrokes.
Prolonged pressing changes a value continuously, whereby the step size
of the change of the value increases by the duration of the key operation.
This channel controls the speed at which the step size increases when a key
is held down permanently.
The larger the value of this channel, the slower, the smaller the value of this
channel, the faster the step size increases.

We recommend the following standard settings:
Gain (Channel 110) = value: 150
Acceleration (Channel 111) = value: 400
Brake (Channel 112) = value: 100
With these settings the time for acceleration is approx. 5 s and the time for
deceleration also approx. 5 s.
5.5.1 Speed adjustment
The speed adjustment should be done very carefully, because of its enor-
mous importance.
► Setting the speed 33.33 rpm coarse. We recommend the use of a 300
Hz stroboscope disc and a 300 Hz stroboscope to perform this setting.
Channel Function Variable Range of
values
100 33,33 rpm coarse setting yes 19 - 166
NOTE
If the speed 33.33 rpm cannot be set correctly within
the value range, the existing pulley must be exchanged
for a suitable one.
From the setting of the 33.33 rpm coarse value the speed 45.00 rpm is
derived.
► After the speed 33.33 rpm is adjusted coarse, the fine setting follows.
Channel Function Variable Range of
values
101 33,33 rpm ne setting yes 0 - 999
When the platter is spinning at the desired speed:
► Return to „33.33 rpm coarse setting“ (Channel 100).
► There, change the current value once and then restore the original
value (e.g. from value 60 to 61 and back to 60 again).
Through this measure, the „33.33 rpm fine setting“ is also taken into
account into calculation of speed 45.00 rpm.
► Although both speeds are already set very precisely now, we re-
commend you to check each individual speed again and adjust it
slightly if necessary.
Channel Function Variable Range of
values
102 45,00 rpm ne setting yes 0 - 999
The fine settingsof speed 45.00 rpm has no influence on speed 33.33 rpm.

5.5.2 Drive dynamics
The drive unit is equipped with a very powerful motor, which easily accele-
rates or decelerates even a 60 kg-platter to its nominal speed.
The power transmission between the drive unit and platter is of particular
importance in this context.
By changing the drive dynamics of the drive unit (acceleration and dece-
leration behavior), specific properties of the components involved in the
power transmission can be taken into account:
• Drive Belt
Design, elasticity, surface and friction coefficients (material used)
• Platter
Weight, surface and friction coefficients (material used)
• Pulley
Diameter, surface and friction coefficients (material used)
Thus a heavy platter can be accelerated or decelerated comparatively
gently, whereas a light platter can be accelerated or decelerated very fast
to nominal speed.
The values for „Brake“ and „Acceleration“ are parameters for linear func-
tions, while „Gain“ is a first-order nonlinear function. Linear and nonlinear
functions together form the drive characteristic.
Channel Function Variable Range of
values
110 Gain yes 1 - 200
111 Acceleration yes 10 - 999
112 Brake yes 10 - 999
We differentiate between „Brake“ and „Acceleration“, although the com-
ponents involved will behave the same in both situations.
This, however, allows the user, for instance for aesthetic reasons, to acce-
lerate the platter differently from deceleration.
5.5.3 Gain
„Gain“ describes the non-linear behaviour of 1st order during acceleration
or deceleration. The set value describes the gradient of the drive characte-
ristic curve with which the nominal speed is achieved.
Channel Function Variable Range of
values
110 Gain yes 1 - 200
The higher this value is set, the „steeper“ the drive characteristic curve is
and the faster the nominal speed is achieved.
In the above diagram examples of „Acceleration“ are shown in blue and
„Brake“ in red.
5.5.4 Brake, Acceleration
The values for „Brake“ and „Acceleration“ describe the maximum accele-
ration and braking effect respectively.
The higher these values are adjusted, the stronger the acceleration.
Channel Function Variable Range of
values
111 Acceleration yes 10 - 999
112 Brake yes 10 - 999
However, the set value for „Gain“ is decisive for the course of the drive
characteristic curve. The selected acceleration or braking values can only
limit the drive behaviour.
If, for example, the drive characteristic curve is to be steep but the
acceleration only low, „Gain“ is set to a high value, while „Brake“ and
„Acceleration“ are set to low values.
For the course of the drive characteristic curve, the „Brake“ or „Accel-
eration“ curves are compared with the „gain“ curve.
At each time point of the acceleration process, the respective lower value
is evaluated to control the motor.
In the above example, the drive dynamics during the first 3 s is determined
by the linear course of „Acceleration“. After that, „Gain“ provides smaller
values and therefore is taken as the result.
The same applies analogously to the braking process shown in red.
