Turning on your Innofader PNP3 for the first time...
...you will notice 12 bright LED flashes. Each flash on and off cycle
lasts about 1/2 second. The LED flashing means your fader is
connected and working. For now just notice...the LED will flash 11
times when you power on.
Now start sliding the Innofader PNP3 back and forth. You can wait until
the 12 flashes are done or you can start right away. You’ll notice the
LED is off any time the fader is at either end, and the LED is on any
time you slide the fader towards the center to cut in the sound. You
may need to slide the fader just a tad bit past the cut point until your
mixer or controller starts putting out sound. This is perfectly normal.
As long as the LED turns on and off when the Innofader PNP3
crosses the cut point, the Innofader PNP3 is working normally.

INNOFADER PNP3 FULL RECALIBRATION
Do only if LEFT CUT or RIGHT CUT dials cannot fix cut point
1) Slide fader all the way left.
Do this slowly and gently until
the fader hits the side.
2) Silde fader all the way right
Do this slowly and gently until
the fader hits the side.
3) Press and hold the button
for about 1/2 second. The LED
will flash to acknowlege that
the calibration is working.
4) Release the button. Once
you let go, the flash at t=t1
will be dim, indicating you
recalibrated the fader
Issue: Innofader PNP3 is completely unresponsive
Solution: Set your mixer or controller for a gradual mix curve. Then set the Innofader PNP3 dials as such:
LEFT CUT turn all the way towards the center
CURVE set in the middle
RIGHT CUT turn all the way towards the center
Then adjust dials as needed to achieve the mixing and cutting performance you want.
If solution doesn’t work:
1) Make sure all cables are connected properly and your mixer or controller is powered on
2) Please check our website to confirm you are using the correct cable. There are some special cases where
the cable you need to use is different from the standard matching 3 or 4 pin reversible cable:
-> The A&H Xone:23/23C/43/43C uses the non-reversible 4 pin large cable with a white plug. The reversible 4
pin cable is wired incorrectly for these mixer models
-> The Pioneer DJM-S9 uses the 3 pin small cable; the grey wire on this cable must align with the DJM-S9 4
pin connector white wire.
-> All Numark DXM and X series mixers with 6 pin connectors. You must use the 3 pin cable and plug in just
the first 3 of the 6 pins as illustrated on page 6. If the first 3 pins do not work, please try the last 3 pins.
3) If you are installing the Innofader PNP3 in a Reloop Elite mixer, please turn on the “Reloop Elite” mode
shown on page 22.
4) If you are installing the Innofader PNP3 in a Behringer NOX mixer, please turn on the “Behringer NOX”
mode shown on page 22. If this doesn’t work, please do a quick power cycle and the Innofader PNP3 should
start working. NOTE the Behringer NOX101 is not compatible with the Innofader PNP3.
Issue: Innofader PNP3 is working backwards
Solution: There are 3 easy fixes to this issue:
1) Flip over the Innofader PNP3 body.
2) If the reversible end of the cable has 4 pins, flip it over.
3) Reverse the output electronically as shown on page 19.

Throughout the manual you will see items (1) through (8) on all of the PNP3 illustrations. In order to
do the adjustments, the power is always ON. Here are some guidelines:
1) Knob is greyed out to indicate a starting or intermediate knob position.
2) A solid black knob shows where the knob ends up when the step is completed.
3) The arrow shows the direction the knob moves during the step. No arrow means no movement.
4) This is a brief description of what the step is for.
5) Red star = dial is adjusted by this step. No red star = leave dial in the position shown by the step.
6) Finger on the calibration button = keep pressing and release when knob movement is completed.
FInger below the calibration button = let go of the calibration button
NEVER press the calibration button UNLESS this manual instructs you to do so!
7) This shows a zoomed image of the LED illumination either during or after the step.
8) The 4 pin cable always needs to be plugged in. If a 5 pin connection is required, this is also shown.

Issue: The cutting sound works more like a volume control
Solution: Turn CURVE dial to the right just until the cutting sound is a true on/off sound. Turning the dial any
further will not improve the cut; it will only reduce the range of the curve control on your mixer or controller.
Issue: The Innofader PNP3 doesn’t feel smooth
Solution: Make sure to adjust the tension properly. See below “Scan for tension adjust details”
If solution doesn’t work: Properly lube the Innofader PNP3. See below “Scan for lubing details”
Issue: There is no sound even though the LED indicator shows that there should be sound
Solution: Do the “PRECISION ADJUSTMENT” as shown on pages 26-28
Issue: There is a popping or static noise every time the sound cuts in and out
Solution: See below “Scan for noisy cut details”
Still doesn’t work? Then turn off the LED cut indicator as shown on page 20
Still doesn’t work? Then set low power mode as shown on page 20
Issue: The controls from the Innojuster do not affect the Innofader PNP3
Solution: Make sure you set the Innofader PNP3 to work with Innojuster controls as shown on pages 24-25
Issue: Help! I think I totally screwed everything up and I want to start over!
Solution: Do the “Factory reset” shown on page 21. Note this will completely erase EVERYTHING you
have done and essentially bring all the settings back to the settings of a brand new Innofader PNP3.
Issue: The output seems to be very badly lopsided. One side works perfectly while the other has a huge gap.
Solution: Set the Max Output to 3.3V as shown on page 21. This is required for the Pioneer S9.
Issue: The power is unstable where I am. This seems to affect my cuts.
Solution: Set the max output to 3.3V as shown on page 21. NOTE: This will not work for installations which
use the 3 pin cable or the Traktor Z2. It is rarely needed, but reports from countries with unstable power have
shown that this is effective.
Issue: The CURVE dial doesn’t seem to do anything to the sound overlap in the center of the fader. I want to
have the flexibility to get rid of the center dip or have more overlap in the center.
Solution: Use the Y curve setting on page 19.
Issue: The LEFT CUT and/or RIGHT CUT seem to be a little bit off. Either there is some gap when the gap is
dialed to minimum or the sound bleeds when the gap is dialed to minimum.
Solution: See “Adjust Cut Dial Ranges” on page 18.

PIONEER MAGVEL STEP 2 - PRECISION ADJUSTMENT (continued)
Eliminates large dead spaces, makes the LED flash at exact cut points, & maximizes cutting precision
There are 12 LED flash time slots t1 through t12 indicating your fader settings.
These flashes happen every time you power on the Innofader and change a setting.
The first time you power on, each time slot is ON indicating factory default:
So let’s say you recalibrate the Innofader. Right after recalibration, and every time you
power on the Innofader, you’ll see the following LED flash pattern. Note the DIM LED:
t1
Time
LED Brightness
Off
DIM ON
t2 t3 t4 t5 t6 t7 t8 t9 t10 t11
The 12 LED flash pattern is unchanged by the Cut Point Threshold Adjustment:
But now this pattern is immediately followed with a pattern showing how you adjusted
the cut point. Each adjustment is a number 0 (no adjustment) to 255 (max adjustment).
t13 to t20 is for the LEFT CUT and t21 to t28 is for the RIGHT CUT. If both adjustments
are zero, this flash pattern is skipped. So the following shows a LEFT CUT adjustment
of 32 (00100000 in binary) and a RIGHT cut adjustment of 64 (01000000 in binary):

NOTES ON RANE 1-70-72 BLEED FIX:
You may find after doing an installation on the Rane One, Seventy, or Seventy Two that the
output does not always shut off. The Rane 1-70-72 Bleed Fix will eliminate this issue when
you do this along with the following steps:
1) On the Rane 70/72 mixers, please set the cut point to the 2 setting. Otherwise you will hear
an oscillating sound at the cut points. This oscillation sound is normal when this mode is set.
On the Rane One, please change the cut point in Serato until this
2) Do the “Precision Adjustment” on Pages 26-28 after setting this mode. This will allow you
to have sharp cut points regardless of the Innofader PNP3 CURVE setting.
