ZED-R16 FireWire Ground Check Procedure

The document provides a procedure to check if two 0R link resistors are missing from the FireWire circuit board of ZED-R16 devices, which could cause intermittent connections between the device and FireWire host machines resulting in audio dropouts. The procedure involves removing the base panel, inspecting the FireWire PCB for the two resistors R923 and R924, and confirming two green wires are connected from the PCB to terminals P900 and P1310, in order to address any missing components.

ZED-R16 FireWire bus ground connection check procedure.

During the manufacturing process of ZED-R16, two 0R link resistors were omitted from a batch of
FireWire circuit board assemblies. These links join the FireWire bus ground to the circuit ground and, if
missing, there is a chance of intermittent connection between ZED-R16 and the FireWire host machine,
resulting in audio dropouts.

The procedure to check to check if these resistors are missing is as follows:

1) Disconnect all cables from ZED-R16 & turn upside down.


2) Remove all the screws from the base panel (T10 head) and carefully remove the base.
3) Inspect the FireWire PCB AG7073 to see if R923 & R924 are fitted or not (Picture 1), if not then they
can be either fitted or the pads can be solder blobbed together (Picture 2)
4) Also check that the two green wires are fitted to the FireWire board, one to P900 and one to P1310
(SGND), if these are not present please fit. (Picture 3, 4 and 5)
