Bonjour,

j'ai un souci sur ma FLX S24 , confirmé en Test Mode :

- les faders 9 et 10 n'envoient rien ; mais quand je monte le 11 , le 10 envoie la même chose que le 11 ( valeurs identiques jusqu'à Full ) . Quand je monte la 12 cela fait la même chose sur la 9 .

- les faders 21 et 23 n'envoient rien ; mais quand je monte le 24 , ça envoie la même chose sur le 21 ( jusqu' àFull ) . Quand je monte le fader 22 cela déclenche aussi le 23 sauf que les niveaux visibles ( en bleu) sur ces 2 tranches s'arrêtent à la moitié ( valeurs autour de 70 ) puis descendent ( comme un fade) , puis remontent et redescendent ...

Je suis sur la version 7.9.9 . Je relance la configuration d'usine , ça ne change rien . 

Si quelqu'un a rencontré ce problème ou bien a une solution je suis preneur .

Merci .

Bonjour

Bienvenue sur le Forum Zéro 88.

Merci pour la description détaillée de vos résultats en mode test.
Je recommanderais d'injecter du "nettoyant de contact" dans les faders et de les travailler de haut en bas. Cela éliminera toute saleté pouvant causer un enregistrement incorrect des faders. Veuillez n'en utiliser qu'une très petite quantité dans chaque fader - une trop grande quantité causera des dommages permanents aux faders.

Une fois que vous avez appliqué un nettoyeur de contact à chaque fader, redémarrez la console en mode Test, pour vous permettre de voir comment cela a affecté les faders.

Si vous avez des questions, s'il vous plaît laissez-nous savoir.

 

Hello

Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum.

Thank you for the detailed description of your findings in Test Mode. 
I would recommend squirting some "contact cleaner" into the faders, and working them up and down. This will clear out any grime that may be causing the faders to register incorrectly. Please only use a very small amount in each fader - too much will cause permanent damage to the faders.

Once you have applied contact cleaner to each fader, boot the console into Test Mode again, to allow you to see how this has affected the faders.

If you have any questions, please let us know.

I'm astounded that a desk of this tender age can have dirty faders that bad. What environment is this desk used in?

Also, I'm not sure "contact cleaner" is that wise for carbon track potentiometers??? This will strip the faders of their lubrication and is thus a downward spiral regards reliability and (electrical) noise.

Hi @Jooj

Please let me know how you get on.

I would also agree that it sounds like the console is used in a very dusty environment to exhibit these symptoms. FLX S24 consoles were launched in 2017, so it can only be 4 years at the oldest.

@kgallen Contact cleaner can be used VERY sparingly on these self-greasing faders (just a minute drop), which can bring them back to life if they are not registering correctly. Use air duster if you want to be on the safe side.

If this doesn't solve the issue, the faders will need to be replaced.
