KRX3 and KDVR - Installation Sequence

My sub-receiver + filters and Voice recorder have been posted and are due any day. Grateful for any recommendations of the sequence for installation of these two.

One other question; Is it/will it be possible to activate the DVR via RS 232? I’m thinking N1MM control and also a friend’s logging application currently under development?

Cheers,

Terry

Re: KRX3 and KDVR - Installation Sequence

Yes, read the installation of the DVR and then while installing the KRX3 and you have the front end apart, put it in. The filter can be installed anytime (first) up until you do the "final" step of placing the KRX3 in position and screwing it down. Just did exactly what you ask. Use a flashlight, even a tiny one, for pin alignment and inspection. But don't do the front panel reinstallation late at night, I couldn't hit the pins right. It worked fine when installed it in the morning LOL.

Both option installations require that you remove and reinstall the front panel.

If it were me, I’d install them at the same time and only remove and reinstall the front panel once.

I’d go through the two Option Assembly manuals and see that the steps to remove and reinstall the front panel are quite similar.

If you’re at all uncomfortable with this, or want to verify that one is working before starting the other, then I’d do the KRX3 second receiver first.

Installing the KDVR3 is a nothing once the front panel is out and apart, tiny board, one plug, one screw. Unless something is so seriously wrong with your KDVR3 that is killing a voltage or a signal (really unlikely), just put it in and then only turn on one at a time in the menu system until you are satisfied with it.
