(R1.0 PCB ONLY)
WARNING:
Although Project Kameleon runs at a generally safe 24-48VDC, Injury from improper assembly is quite possible . The main
danger comes from installing the polarized capacitors backwards as they can only be installed in one direction much like a
battery (more detail on capacitor installation comes later in this manual) If a capacitor is installed backwards, it may burst
resulting in burns or eye injury. If you are not experienced in electronics or electronic kit assembly, it would be wise
to have an experienced electronics person review your work before powering the unit on . Upon first power up, wear
eye protection and be wary of any burning smells or electrical noises such as loud pops or buzzes
GARAGE1217.COM IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR INJURY, PROPERTY LOSS OR DAMAGE AS THE RESULT OF ASSEMBLY OR USE OF THIS DO IT YOURSELF KIT. KAMELEON IS
CONSIDERED A HOBBY LEVEL PRODUCT. IT CONTAINS NO ELECTRICAL CERTIFICATIONS AND IS NOT ADVERTISED AS SUCH . USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
