Author Topic: CP55 - Make it wake-up in remote fader mode? Matt Close Expert Film Handler Posts: 226 From: Hervey Bay, QLD, Australia Registered: Sep 2001 posted 08-03-2006 11:27 AM                        Does anyone know how to rig a CP-55 to make it wake-up with the remote fader selected instead of the local one? Any advice appreciated!  |  IP: Logged Kacie MacLagan Film Handler Posts: 5 From: Portage, MI, United States Registered: Feb 2006 posted 08-03-2006 03:52 PM                        There is a jumper on the Cat. No. 243 card that will switch it between local and remote. I believe that if you have the jumper on remote it will wake up in that position.  |  IP: Logged Matt Close Expert Film Handler Posts: 226 From: Hervey Bay, QLD, Australia Registered: Sep 2001 posted 08-03-2006 10:45 PM                        ... if it was that easy I wouldn't have posted I believe the jumper simple allows or disallows selection of the remote fader ..... the CP55 still wakes up in local mode .... I am more than happy to do more surgery if anyone has the answer....  |  IP: Logged Pete Naples Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1565 From: Dunfermline, Scotland Registered: Feb 2001 posted 08-04-2006 02:21 AM                     Matt, you are correct, the jumper enables or disables the remote fader. It is possible to make it wake up on remote fader. It's a fairly easy mod. Do you want to be given it, or do you want a prod in the right direction, and figuire it out for yourself?  |  IP: Logged Matt Close Expert Film Handler Posts: 226 From: Hervey Bay, QLD, Australia Registered: Sep 2001 posted 08-07-2006 06:40 AM                        Pete, with my current work-load, I'd be very happy to be given the mod details Pleeeeeease?  |  IP: Logged Pete Naples Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1565 From: Dunfermline, Scotland Registered: Feb 2001 posted 08-07-2006 10:11 AM                     No problem, I'll dig it out when I'm in the workshop next.  |  IP: Logged Matt Close Expert Film Handler Posts: 226 From: Hervey Bay, QLD, Australia Registered: Sep 2001 posted 08-07-2006 05:18 PM                        Great ...

Basically you're re routing part of the logic. Here's a diagram, originally drafted by our chief engineer.  |  IP: Logged Matt Close Expert Film Handler Posts: 226 From: Hervey Bay, QLD, Australia Registered: Sep 2001 posted 08-12-2006 04:52 AM                        Awesome Pete!
