4) Place the LED pushbutton switch
onto the PCB. Make sure the red
dot (cathode (-) side) of the switch is
aligned with the small square on the
PCB silk screen.
5) Firmly hold the switch to the PCB so
it is perfectly upright, then turn over
the PCB and bend over two or more
leads so the switch stays in place. Do not solder yet.
6) Remove the nuts and washers from the pots and set them aside.
7) Without soldering them, place the jacks and pots on the correct marked
side of the PCB.
a. Make sure you place the two (2) jacks missing their ground pins
into the correct places adjacent to the LED pushbutton. Be sure
to align these jacks with the cut pins in the same orientation as
the other jacks, as these jack locations do not have holes for
ground pins. A ‘regular’ jack will not fit there.
8) Gently place the panel over the components and adjust until all the components come through the
panel fully.
9) Loosely install the jack and pot washers & nuts; this will help hold the
panel to the PCB assembly and correctly position the parts while you
solder them.
10) Check the orientation from the side - the panel should be parallel to the
PCB and parts should be flush against the back of the panel. The switch
should be centered in its hole so it can be pressed without rubbing.
11) Set the loosely assembled module on its face - it will stand on the pots.
Solder the pots, jacks and LED pushbutton from the back of the PCB.
Turn the module over and tighten all of the nuts. Be careful not to
scratch the panel with your tool.
12) Rotate all of the pot shafts fully counter-clockwise. Install the knobs--
aligning the knob’s index line to the fully CCW position and tighten the
set-screws.
13) Attach the power cable to the keyed connector.
You are now ready to test, troubleshoot (if necessary) and enjoy your
module!
