BEFORE
STARTINGTHEKIT...
Prepare
the following tools:
● Soldering
iron (15-20W)
● Flush
cutters
● n2.
hex screwdriver or allen key (enclosed with kit)
● Needlenose
pliers
● Protective
eyewear
We suggest to work in a clean and a well lit and ventilated environment to avoid accidents or losing
any
of the small components.
Also
briefly go through this guide and make sure that you understand all the steps.
SOLDERING
Start the soldering with the
resistors. There are just two values of them: 1k (11x) and 100k (9x).
Before you will start soldering, check the values by
using a multimeter
or you can check the color
1
codes - the 100k's have the
orange stripe. Then snip the leads close to the PCB (be sure to make
this step on all remaining leads in the course of this guide) and
set aside a few of them. You will use
them later. Solder also the
Zener diodes (10x) - be careful, diodes are polarized! Make sure that
the
black stripe on the diode matches the stripe on the PCB. See the photos below for all these steps.
