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 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 solder joints are cone-shaped and shiny
3- Trim excess leads as close as possible to the solder joint
REMOVE THEM FROM THE TAPE ONE AT A TIME !
Assembly hints
DO NOT BLINDLY FOLLOW THE ORDER OF
THE COMPONENTS ONTO THE TAPE.
ALWAYS CHECK THEIR VALUE ON THE
PARTS LIST!

Position the socket support on the bottom lid.
Run about 10 cm (4”) of the supplied wire trough the hole in the enclosure lid. Click the strain
relief on the cable, and squeeze it into the hole, until it fits snugly

As this kit is shipped to different countries, there is no AC plug supplied. You will need to attach a
plug that matches your electrical system to the loose end of the AC cable. Always close and fasten
the enclosure lid before operating this kit. Make sure the AC voltage is correctly set. Fill out the
included power rating label and stick it to the bottom of the enclosure. To test the unit, turn all con-
trols fully clockwise and plug it in. When the AC cord is plugged in, the power indicator LED should
light. Tap the enclosure gently. The internal LED’s will flash. Now you can test the unit with light
bulbs connected. Make sure the max. rating per channel is not exceeded ! You can adjust the over-
all sensitivity by turning the master level control, while the level for each individual channel can be
adjusted with the low-, mid- and high level controls.
Hook-up & Use
Solder the AC cable to the SK1 pins. Connect the AC sockets to the
board with the supplied wire. Inspect the whole assembly once
more before closing the lid. Fasten the lid with the supplied screws.
