Transient Modules u2X Manual

Transient Modules u2X DIY build manual - Version 1.0
Hello!
This guide is for building the u2X module from Transient Modules.
Even if you're an experienced DIYer, please read ALL the steps thoroughly
before starting, as some of them are crucial and others not so obvious.
The u2X kit consists of one board and all the parts comes in one bag.
See the lists below to identify each one of them easily before start building.
Resistors: Qty IC Sockets:
Resistor 10M 2 TL074 (SMD) 2

1. Empty the bag into a bowl or
container. This makes it much easier to
pick the parts as you need them and
you’re a lot less likely to lose anything.
2. Let's start with the bottom part! Solder
the 2x TL074 ICs. Position them with the
line on the top face of the TL074 at the
same end as the end with half circle in
the silkscreen, as shown in the image.

3. Solder the 2x 1N5819 diodes.
NOTE! Orientation is vital. The gray line
on the diode (cathode) must match the
silkscreen, as shown in the picture.

7. Solder the 6x 51R resistors, labelled
51R0.
8. Solder the 2x 10uF electrolytic
capacitors.

9. Front part now! Solder the 2x
remaining 100nF capacitors.
10. Back to bottom part! Solder the
power header.
NOTE! This part is placed at the bottom of the
PCB and soldered from the top, as shown on the
image

11. Place all the jack sockets and leds,
and then place the front panel moving a
little the parts if necessary. Screw the 8x
knurled nuts making sure they're
centered with the circles on the silkscreen
of the panel.
Solder all the parts ensuring they're all
positioned through their holes in the
panel.

12. Connect the ribbon cable. The red
stripe on the cable must line up with the
-12V indication on the module’s power
connector. And...
