RAMSEY "LEARN-AS-YOU-BUILD" ASSEMBLY STRATEGY
As you can see in examining the circuit board and components, there is a bit
more to this voice recorder kit than just soldering a few parts. So that you don't
spend extra time "troubleshooting" instead of enjoying your new kit, we strongly
recommend that you follow the assembly strategy and step-by-step procedures
we provide.
Our strategy in installing parts on our PC board is to install the larger and more
obvious parts such as the connectors and controls. These parts will then act as
"landmarks" so that each additional device installed is seen in relationship to
them, or to others previously installed.
BS2C ASSEMBLY
Use the boxes to check off your progress.
Check all received parts against the Parts list on page 7 and 8. The parts list
describes the various markings that may be found on the kit parts.
In ALL the following instruction steps, our word "INSTALL" means this:
•
Insert the part, oriented correctly, into its correct holes in the PC board.
•
If helpful, gently BEND the part's wire leads or tabs to hold it in place, with
the body of the part snugly against the top "component side" of the PC
board.
•
SOLDER ALL wires or pins of the part, whether the two wires of a resistor
or every pin of an IC socket.
•
Nip or "trim" all excess wires extending beyond each solder connection,
taking care that wire trimmings do not become lodged in PC board solder
connections.
Enough said. . . Let's get building!
