C-Pod Replacement (HQ Sixteen only)
Some kits will come with a new C-Pod. If the HQ Sixteen was purchased with the HQ Pro-Stitcher, there is
no need to install a new C-Pod. Also, any HQ Sixteen stitch-regulated system running version 8.04 or later
does not require a C-Pod upgrade. The C-Pod screen identifies the version as it boots up.
U CAUTION: To prevent damage due to electrostatic discharge, use a grounded wrist strap. If a wrist
strap is not available, discharge any electrostatic energy on your body by touching any exposed
metal (non-painted) portion of the HQ Sixteen prior to and several times during this procedure.
1. Remove the C-Pod from the HQ Sixteen head by removing the four mounting screws with a Phillips
screwdriver.
2. Carefully disconnect all cables from the C-Pod, taking care not to touch the bare circuit board.
3. If the new C-Pod includes a Lock Board, skip ahead to
step 7.
4. Remove the black Phillips screw that holds the lock board in place on the old C-Pod circuit board.
5. On the old C-Pod (the one just removed from the
HQ Sixteen), gently pull upward on the lock board to
remove it from the old C-Pod and press it firmly in
place on the new C-Pod. Make sure both rows of pins
enter the header on the underside of the Lock Board.
The red LED should be located at the top right when
looking into the C-Pod.
6. Lightly hand-tighten the black Phillips screw through the Lock Board.
7. Attach the internal cables to the new C-Pod.
8. Fasten the C-Pod to the head using the four screws that were removed in step 1.
