ION Optix C-Pace Safety guide

Manual for Installation of
Additional High Voltage Boards to
a C-Pace
This manual will show the steps necessary to a High Voltage Boards to a C-Pace. The example pictures
show the transition from a two bank to a six bank C-Pace.
1) Original C-Pace. Notice that 2 banks appear on the display and LEDs and the 9 pin connector are
visible in slots 1 and 2. The other slots are blocked by metal panels.

2) UNPLUG DEVICE! Use a philips screwdriver to remove C-Pace top, the screws holding the High
Voltage Boards to the front panel, and the panels that are blocking the slots you intend to use, and,
depending on the age of the device, the two screws attached to the main boards L-Brackets.
3) The Main Board will now slide back.

4) When the High Voltage Boards are configured, they are given an ID number which is reflected in the
number on the little white labels. Match the number on the label to the number on the front panel, and
insert the High Voltage board into it's socket on the main board.
5) Now for the tricky part. If you have a device with a large screw in one of the side panels, make sure
that the main board is resting on top it. Line up High Voltage Board connectors with their slots in the
front panel. If you have a device with a board mount power switch, line that up as well. Nestle the board
against the panel. This takes a little effort, and I've found that resting an edge on a table and turning the
C-Pace on it's side so that gravity is helping is the best way.

6) While continuing to hold the boards against the front panel, finger tighten a couple of the connector
screws. Once it is secure, finish tightening and insert rest of screws.
7) Screw the top of the box back on, plug it back in, and turn it on. You should now see 6 banks
available on the display. Enable them one at a time to make sure that each turns on when it's supposed
to. If this works well, you're done, if not move on to the trouble-shooting section.

Trouble-Shooting
1) Make sure the power cord is plugged in firmly.
2) It is possible that one or more High Voltage Boards have come loose in their sockets. Take the
bottom of the C-Pace off and push up on the main board to push the High Voltage Boards more firmly
into their sockets.
3) The ID is set with the red dip switch on the top left of the High Voltage Board. It's possible that the
setting has gotten changed by mistake. The setting should match the table below with "O" meaning the
switch has been pressed down on the "Open" side.
Number on Dip Switch
1 2 3 4
1 O O O O
2 C O O O
3 O C O O
4 C C O O
5 O O C O
6 C O C O
7 O C C O
Number of the Slot on
the Front Panel
8 C C C O
4) One of the Microcontroller chips may not be in it's socket firmly. Press down on the chips with the
handwritten labels to make sure they are making good connection. There is one chip on each High
Voltage Board and one on the bottom of the main board.
