CIRCUIT MATRIX REPLACEMENT
Important: Make sure foreign material ... dirt, dust, etc., does not
come in contact with the plastic parts. Do one hand controller and
check yourself before doing the other.
Unplug Master Component from power source. Disconnect switch box cable.
Enclosed are two Circuit Matrices, two Anti-Static Shields, and two Hand
Controller Lower Housings. These are new parts you will need for Circuit
Matrix Replacement.
[Illustrations of the Static Shield, Circuit Matrix (with arrow pointing to
Foam Tape), and Lower Housing.]
FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS TO REPLACE EACH HAND CONTROLLER CIRCUIT MATRIX.
DISASSEMBLY
1 Turn the Hand Controller upside down on a flat surface and hold it firmly.
Use a Phillips-head screw driver to remove the 4 screws. Remove bottom screws
first. Set all 4 screws aside in a safe place. [Illustration of the back of a
Hand Controller. The screws are raised from their respective places in the
Hand Controller.]
2 While holding the top and bottom together, turn the Hand Controller right
side up. Set it back on a flat surface.
[Illustration of the Hand Controller with the Top Housing raised. Arrows point
from the corners of the Lower Housing to the respective corners of the Top
Housing.]
3 Carefully lift the top off and set it aside. Hold the gold number keypad
and the gold direction disc in place with one hand.
4 Remove Gold Direction Disc and Spring.
5 Remove the Action Buttons, both sides.
6 Remove and DISCARD the original Circuit Matrix. Keep the white plastic
washer. You will be using it again.
DISCONNECT CABLE CONNECTOR BLOCK
[Illustration of a hand lifting the Strain Relief from the Lower Housing.
Arrows point to "STRAIN RELIEF" and "CONNECTOR BLOCK."]
1 Lift Cable Strain Relief UP and out of the housing.
[Illustration of a hand removing the Cable Connector Block from the Lower
Housing. An arrow points to the "CABLE CONNECTOR BLOCK."]
2 Pry up Cable Connector Block from the housing.
Important: Be careful not to touch or bend the metal prongs.
REPLACEMENT AND REASSEMBLY
1 Place Cable Connector Block and Strain Relief on the new Lower Housing as
shown.
2 CHECK YOURSELF: Make sure connector block goes in all the way, right side
up, flush with housing and make sure the Strain Relief is all the way in the
housing. Check yourself with the detail program on the front cover.
3 INSTALL THE NEW CIRCUIT MATRIX
a) Check the new Circuit Matrix fold. If it is folded correctly, leave it as
it is. Excessive opening and refolding of the Circuit Matrix must be avoided
because this will result in damage and malfunction.

hole of the center layer to the respective hole of the adjacent layer.]
[Illustration of the Circuit Matrix unfolded, an arrow with label "1" points
from the center layer to the back layer, and an arrow with label "2" points
from the front layer to the back layer. The following caption appears above:
"CORRECT CIRCUIT MATRIX FOLD."]
b) Install new Circuit Matrix as shown on the front cover.
c) Make sure folded Circuit Matrix fits snugly over top and bottom posts.
4 Check the diagram on the front cover. Shield goes over the folded
matrix. Make sure posts go through both sides of holes (Shield and
Matrix.) Hold matrix and static shield down in place with fingers.
5 INSTALL KEYPAD
Place keypad over Anti-Static Shield. Again make sure both posts go
through keypad holes.
6 INSTALL WHITE PLASTIC WASHER
Check yourself. Washer goes under the top layer of the Circuit Matrix and
over the Direction Disc post as shown.
7 Install Spring and Direction Disc as shown on the front cover.
REPLACE SIDE ACTION BUTTONS
1 Press action button units firmly in place. The scalloped edge should be on
the BOTTOM, FACING INWARD. Button units will only go in one way.
[Close-up illustration of an Action Button Unit raised over the Hand
Controller. An arrow points to the "SCALLOPED EDGE" (the bottom edge with
indentations).]
2 Before you replace the top make sure the Circuit Matrix and the Number
Keypad are securely in place so that the top and bottom holes fit over the
small brown posts.
[Illustration of the Bottom Housing. Arrows and close-up sub-illustrations
point to the "BROWN POSTS."]
3 Replace the top of the Hand Controller.
4 Hold the top and bottom securely together while you turn the Hand Controller
over again. Replace the 4 screws, TOP SCREWS FIRST. Tighten until firmly in
place. This is important to make all circuit connections. Do not over
tighten.
NOTE: If the gold Direction Disc comes out of place during this
procedure, simply set the spring back down over the center brown post and
position the Direction Disc over the spring.
_______________________________________________________________________________
IF HAND CONTROLLERS DO NOT FUNCTION AFTER REPLACEMENT AND RE-ASSEMBLY:
Make sure all screws are fastened securely. If this does not correct
the problem, take them apart again and re-check. See that the Circuit
Matrices are properly folded and the Number Keypads are in place with
both posts showing through the Keypad holes.
