Check Your Work
Double check your work.
( ) All solder connections are bright and shiny.
( ) No solder bridges between IC socket pins.
( ) All components are installed in their correct positions.
( ) Diodes, transistors, voltage regulators and electrolytic capacitors are installed with their proper polarity.
( ) The pc board modifications are done correctly.
Congratulations! At this point your RC210 is completely assembled except for the integrated circuits. These will be installed
after you run some voltage checks.
Checking Voltages
For these tests, you will need to connect power to the RC210. It is suggested that you use a power supply with current limiting
"just in case".
Locate the green, 4 pin power plug and connect it as follows:
Pin 1
+11.5 to +15 Vdc
Pin 3 or 4
Ground
Meter Plus Lead
Meter Minus Lead
( ) IC2, pin 16
Ground
( ) U6, pin 24
Ground
( ) U5, pin 4
U5, pin 11
( ) U5, pin 12
U5, pin 11
( ) U7, pin 27
U7, pin 12
* Vcc refers to the voltage supplied to the RC210.
If you do not obtain the results above, carefully check the PC board for cold solder joints, bridges or unsoldered connections.
If all is well, remove power. You're now ready to install the socketed integrated circuits.
