SM800, Assembly Manual PCB Version 1.1 Step 1: PCB The SM800 DIY Kit contains only one board. Most of the components have to be installed on the REAR side. Short instructions: please assemble the module in the following order: Solder the SMD chip (as shown on the picture), SMD capacitors, resis- tors, 330 nF capacitor, power header, configuration header.

SM800, Assembly Manual PCB Version 1.1 Step 2: SMD components Start with soldering the LM358 chip. Place it as shown in the picture, accurately aligned to its footprint, then solder just the pin 1. Adjust the orientation of the chip with a pair of tweezers, keeping the solder melted, then let it cool down and solder the opposite pin 5.

SM800, Assembly Manual PCB Version 1.1 Step 3: Resistors, ceramic capacitor, power header Install the resistors. You can use the above picture as the reference to verify values before soldering. Solder all resistors from the top. Install the 330 nF ceramic capacitor. It's not polarized. Flip the PCB over, solder the capacitor and reflow some of resistors, which have their pads not completely covered...

SM800, Assembly Manual PCB Version 1.1 HEAT MELT PUSH Step 4: Configuration header Solder the configuration header. You can put on the power cable to prevent the header pins from moving during soldering. The plastic base is tend to melt. After soldering all pins, you additionally need to push each pin completely into its hole in order to leave this area of the PCB a flat plane.

There is only one 10 uF capacitor and two 1 uF capacitors in the kit. Install the power regula- tors, 78L05 and 78L09.

SM800, Assembly Manual PCB Version 1.1 Install all hardware on the FRONT side of the PCB! Step 6: Panel hardware Install and solder the jack socket, the mode switch and the sliding potentiometer. You do not yet need to install the front panel. Just make sure that all components are installed straight and firmly, and solder them.

SM800, Assembly Manual PCB Version 1.1 Step 7: Front panel As you can see, all components have different heights. We need to compensate this by placing spacers between the front panel and too low parts. Screw on and tighten the first nut on the switch. Now gently place two PVC spacers on the threaded holes of the potentiometer.

You can reverse this by setting the jumpers to the opposite position. That's all, folks! The module does not need any adjustment and ready to use. Thank you for reading the instructions and purchasing this SSSR Labs DIY kit! Page 9 of 9...
