Rich Reilly Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Just purchased a quite used UCR190 that seems to work fine but XLR pin assembly is loose, partially exits when removing XLR...doesn't seem like it can come completely out...seems to perhaps have more play going inside housing. Cable connection seems good while XLR is locked into place...not intermittent or unstable. Is there a simple screw inside that holds XLR assembly in place? I would just assume fix it myself if possible..but seller says opening unit makes it harder to sell, and he wont honor return if I do that. Typical minimum bench rate of service center/shipping would somewhat negate the sense of the purchase. Any thoughts on board or PM much appreciated.

Eric Toline Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 It's quite used. Open it and see what you can do to fix the problem and don't worry about returning it to the seller. It's not brain surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Karlsson Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I noticed just last week, that I have a 211 with the exact same issue. My denial has convinced my OCD that it's best to leave the XLR connected until something else needs to be fixed on this unit. Just like Rich, I'd very much appreciate hearing that there's a DIY way to take care of it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Reilly Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Sometimes it's worth polling both makers and users. Hey Sheesh. That comment was really unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Slotness Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 ucr190__overview_photo.pdf To tighten the XLR insert in the UCR190 the housing will need to be removed. This will get you access to the set screw. On the UCR211, 411 etc. see FAQ #091 from our website: http://www.lectrosonics.com/Support/component/com_fsf/Itemid,714/view,faqs/?option=com_fsf&Itemid=714&view=faq&catid=-2&search=%23091 Be glad to send any information required to get you fixed up.

soundtrane Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 will somebody say thank you to Dean Slotness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berniebeaudry Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Thanks Dean, For this insight and all the great service thru the years. Its wonderful that many of these minor issues can be addressed by the user instead of sending off to repair. Its also great that Lectro generously provides the information to safely facilitate the DIY repairs. Been there, done that Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Karlsson Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Yes. Thank you, Dean! For those who care: Tightening the hex screw did nothing to remedy the loose XLR on the 211. I will take it in for repair when / if something else comes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Slotness Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 UCR211, 411, 411a XLR insert tightening tutorial.pdf Usually when we see loose XLR connectors on the UCR211, etc. the fault is a loose hex screw. The issue could also be the XLR insert itself. See the short photo tutorial on correcting this issue. Best regards, Dean Slotness Note: Slight edit to the tutorial to show the XLR adjustment required to get the proper battery door tension. BTW, a loose XLR insert or thimble should be corrected as soon as possible to prevent the XLR from being pulled out of the receiver. If the XLR is forcibly pulled from the receiver the wiring from the circuit board to the connector is likely to break... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Karlsson Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Thanks again Dean. Loosening the hex screw did unfortunately not allow the door and thimble to be pulled out on my 211. Turning the hex screw three and a half times counter clockwise makes it come to a stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Slotness Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 UCR211, 411, 411a XLR insert tightening tutorial.pdf Glad I could be of some assistance. I added a couple more steps to the tutorial to (hopefully) help with the odd stubborn unit... Best, Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Karlsson Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Thank You, Dean! You, sir, are a scholar, gentleman and rockstar. That worked. The screw under the polarity sticker was the ticket. Rich, I hope you get your's sorted too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
