Positioning the D-Command Units
If you are building a 24-fader D-Command, you can place the
Fader Module either to the left or to the right of the Main
Unit.
Attaching the Units
To attach the D-Command Fader Module to the Main Unit:
1 Using a 9/64 hex wrench, remove the plastic end cap from
the side of the Main Unit where you want to install the Fader
Module.
2 If you are installing the Fader Module on the right of the
Main Unit, move the spacer plate. (See “Moving the Spacer
Plate” on page 17.)
3 Place the Fader Module next to the Main Unit, and press the
units together.
4 Slide both units forward so that you have access to the front
bracket screw holes.
5 Using a 5/32 hex wrench, attach the front bracket, using
four 10-32 1/2-inch socket cap screws.
6 Slide the connected units backward so that you have access
to the rear screws.
7 Remove the four Philips head screws indicated in Figure 5.
8 Attach the rear bracket, using four 10-32 3/4-inch socket cap
screws and four 6-32 x 3/8-inch Philips pan head screws.
9 Carefully slide the connected units forward so that you have
access to the center bracket screw holes.
10 Attach the center bracket, using two 10-32 3/4-inch socket
cap screws.
11 Press the D-Command units together. If necessary, use a
ratcheting nylon strap to press the units together by running
the strap around the two units. Make sure the nylon strap does
not contact any switches or encoders on the surface.
12 Tighten the bracket screws on the Fader Module.
13 Attach the plastic end cap to the Fader Module.

If you are placing the Fader Module to the right of the Main
Unit, you need to move the spacer plate from the Fader
Module to the Main Unit. Refer to “Moving the Spacer
Plate” on page 17 for detailed instructions on moving the
spacer plate.

When bracketing together a D-Command system, leave all
screws on the Fader Module loose enough to allow you to ad-
just the position of the units relative to each other. After all
three brackets are installed, and the units are pressed fully
together, then fully tighten the Fader Module screws.
