1. Assembly (Skipping this can lead to troubles ! )
Ok, so we have your attention. These hints will help you to make this project successful. Read them carefully.
1.1 Make sure you have the right tools:
• A good quality soldering iron (25-40W) with a small tip.
• Wipe it often on a wet sponge or cloth, to keep it clean; then apply solder to the tip, to give it a wet look. This is called ‘thinning’ and will
protect the tip, and enables you to make good connections. When solder rolls off the tip, it needs cleaning.
• Thin raisin-core solder. Do not use any flux or grease.
• A diagonal cutter to trim excess wires. To avoid injury when cutting excess leads, hold the lead so they
cannot fly towards the eyes.
• Needle nose pliers, for bending leads, or to hold components in place.
• Small blade and Phillips screwdrivers. A basic range is fine.
For some projects, a basic multi-meter is required, or might be handy
1.2 Assembly Hints :
⇒ Make sure the skill level matches your experience, to avoid disappointments.
⇒ Follow the instructions carefully. Read and understand the entire step before you perform each operation.
⇒ Perform the assembly in the correct order as stated in this manual
⇒ Position all parts on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) as shown on the drawings.
⇒ Values on the circuit diagram are subject to changes.
⇒ Values in this assembly guide are correct*
⇒ Use the check-boxes to mark your progress.
⇒ Please read the included information on safety and customer service
* Typographical inaccuracies excluded. Always look for possible last minute manual updates, indicated as ‘NOTE’ on a separate leaflet.

1.3 Soldering Hints :
1- Mount the component against the PCB surface and carefully solder the leads
2- Make sure the solderjoints are cone-shaped and shiny
3- Trim excess leads as close as possible to the solder joint
heatsink and the one of the
regulator correspond to the hole
in the PCB.
Use heatsink compound to en-
sure good heat dissipation.
Fix the two components with an
M3 bolt and nut.
Now, the regulator may be sol-
dered.

7. Use
To use the circuit without problem, take into account
the power dissipation in the regulator.
The transformer voltage must always be 2V higher
than the maximum desired output voltage.
If, for instance, you need an output voltage of 12V,
then you need to fit a transformer of 14V.
If, as an output voltage you only need 6V, use a transformer having 8V and not 14V, because with an 8V
transformer the dissipation in the regulator will be of
approximately 5W when drawing a current of 1A. With
a 14V transformer, the dissipation will be higher than
10W. In the second case the regulator will die in a few
minutes.
The transformer should be connected to the points “AC
IN” and the output voltage is connected at points + and
