Why are the faders on my console not behaving as normal?

Faders will get dirt inside them over time and combined with the wearing of the fader track this can cause intermittent faults. Faders can be cleaned and if done correctly this will lengthen the life of a fader.

 

At Avolites we have done extensive test on the use and over-use of DeOxit F5  fader cleaning  agent, and have created a video with instructions:

Although DeOxit F5 is widely available, in case that you can not obtain this there are alternatives that have been proven to work in the field (Follow the same instructions as for DeOxit F5 for the above agents):

Servisol Super 10”  Farnell PN 278786

Kontakt Chemie Cleaner 601” Farnell PN 801021

 

There is no benefit in cleaning working faders with any of the above agents, therefore we do not advice to do so if the product is in a particularly dusty environment simply clean with dry and clean air (ideally not from air cans).

If the problem persists, contact your local distributor.
