Nastavení a instalace

The ESP Arming Adjuster is designed for installation in the tremolo cavity of your electric guitar. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with guitar modifications.

1. Připravte si kytaru: Ensure the guitar is unplugged and placed on a stable, padded surface. Remove the tremolo cavity cover from the back of the guitar.
2. Určete místo montáže: The Arming Adjuster is typically mounted between the tremolo block and the body of the guitar, aligning with the tremolo's movement.
3. Umístění jednotky: Place the Arming Adjuster in the tremolo cavity. The plunger end should face the tremolo block, and the spring mechanism should be oriented towards the guitar body.
4. Zajištění šroubem: Use the provided mounting screw to secure the Arming Adjuster to the guitar body. Ensure it is firmly attached but do not overtighten.
5. Nastavení napětí: The tension of the Arming Adjuster's internal spring can be adjusted to fine-tune its effect on the tremolo. This adjustment is crucial for optimal performance and should be done in conjunction with setting up your guitar's tremolo system.
6. Test funkčnosti: After installation, re-string and tune your guitar. Test the tremolo arm's movement and observe the tuning stability during bends and dives. Adjust the Arming Adjuster's tension as needed to achieve the desired balance between tremolo freedom and tuning stability.

Provozní principy

The ESP Arming Adjuster works by applying a counter-force to the tremolo block, effectively semi-locking it in a neutral position. When a string is bent or breaks, the tension on the tremolo system changes. Without the Arming Adjuster, this change can cause other strings to go out of tune. The Adjuster's spring mechanism absorbs these sudden changes, maintaining the tremolo's position and thus the guitar's tuning.

• Choking Prevention: When bending a string, the Arming Adjuster prevents the tremolo from moving forward, which would cause other strings to go flat.
• String Break Stability: If a string breaks, the sudden loss of tension would normally cause the tremolo to pull back, making all other strings go sharp. The Arming Adjuster counteracts this, keeping the remaining strings in tune.
• Arm Down/Up Functionality: The design allows for full use of the tremolo arm for dives and pulls, as the unit only engages to stabilize the tremolo against unwanted movements.

Údržba

The ESP Arming Adjuster is a low-maintenance device. Regular inspection is recommended to ensure continued optimal performance.

• Pravidelná prohlídka: Annually, or during string changes, inspect the unit for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Check that the mounting screw remains secure.
• Čištění: If dust or debris accumulates in the tremolo cavity, gently clean the Arming Adjuster with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Mazání: The internal spring mechanism is designed for smooth operation. No lubrication is typically required. If you notice any sticking, consult a qualified guitar technician.
