Assembly hints

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 (25­40W) 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 :

Mount the component against the PCB surface and carefully solder the
leads

Make sure the solder joints are cone-shaped and shiny

Trim excess leads as close as possible to the solder joint

AXIAL COMPONENTS ARE TAPED IN THE CORRECT

‘∗’ATTENTION : In case you use light bulbs, Cold-Cathode

fluorescent lamps & “solid-state” relays mount for RX a jumper
wire, If using LED’s as output indication then mount for RX a
resistor appropriated to the value of the LED. See step 2.
