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 (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 compo-
nents 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 draw-
ings.
⇒Values on the circuit diagram are subject to changes.
⇒Values in this assembly guide are correct*
0.000

⇒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 solder joints are cone-shaped
and shiny
3- Trim excess leads as close as possible to the
solder joint

CAUTION: MOST PARTS OF THE CIRCUIT CARRY DANGEROUS
VOLTAGES (MAINS) ! OBSERVE ALL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
THAT MIGHT APPLY !
 First, make sure to apply an extra layer of solder on all thinned PCB tracks
because these have to handle high currents.
 Connect a light bulb rated for the wall outlet voltage (mains) to LOAD 1.
 Insert a dimmer module (K8007) or timer module (K8008) into the first slot
(mind the direction, the components must point to the left).
 Connect a 24VAC/300mA source (e.g. transformer) to the 24VAC connector.
LD6 will light.
 Connect the 110-240V mains to the SUPPLY Neutral and Live connector.
LD7 will light.
Push button SW1. The module will be activated, and the light bulb will light. For
dimmer/timer module operation details, please check their manuals.
All remaining slots must be tested in the same way. Disconnect the mains when
removing modules or wiring.

Choose a suitable location for the unit. Probably, the best location is near the
fuse box. An optional enclosure (B8006) is available, for safe installation of the
unit on a DIN rail. Whatever enclosure you use, make sure to provide sufficient
airflow, as the dimmer modules might run hot during use. If you choose the
optional B8006 enclosure, drill a number of ventilation holes in the top and
bottom part of the cover lid.
The drawing below shows a connection example.
 Make sure your wiring complies with the local safety requirements.
If doubt, consult a licensed technician !
