Front And Main Board Mounting - Ramsey Electronics PM10DC Manual

FRONT AND MAIN BOARD MOUNTING

In this final step of assembly we will be joining the main board to the display
board. You will need to use ample solder for this step as it not only is used for
making electrical connections, but also for mechanically joining the two
boards.
1. Locate the front and main board. Note how they are supposed to go to-
gether, aligning the large hole on the front panel to the power switch, and
also note the alignment of the connectors and pads which will be used to
"glue" the two boards together.
2. Align the display board with the main board so that the connector's pins
line up with the pads on both the top and bottom of the board.
3. Solder a single lead, and check for orientation. The front panel should
be mounted as close as possible to the main board. We don't want the
front panel to be too far away from the main board, then the display would
no longer fit into the case. They should also be square to each other, but
a visual check is all that is needed.
4. While the main and display board are held square together, begin sol-
dering together the two using the pads provided.
5. Make sure all of the provided pads are joined.
6. Check your work for shorts! It is fairly easy to correct these problems so
you may as well do that now.
