KSM-1
§
Cut the wires after soldering directly above the PCB solder side with
a side cutter.
§
After placing the parts, please double check for correct polarity.
Check the PCB tracks for solder bridges, short circuits created by
accident. This would cause faulty operation or, in the worst case,
damage. You can remove excess solder by putting a clean soldering
tip on the spot. The solder will become liquid again and flow from
the soldering spot to the soldering tip.

Assembling the kit

You can skip this part if you have a ready-built module.
Preparation
Put the sorted components in front of you on your workbench. An
explanation of the separate electronic components follows:
Resistors
A resistor "reduces" the current. Mounting orientation is of no
importance. Because resistors are very small there is no readable
information on them, but their value is given with colour rings.
Key:
Value
470 Ω
4,7 kΩ
100 kΩ
The colour ring in brackets indicates the tolerance of the
resistor and is of no importance here.
Adjustable resistors (Trimming pots)
Adjustable resistors are a special kind of resistor, built
symmetrically. Their orientation is easy to recognise because
of their off-centre connection. Their value is easily adjusted
with a screwdriver to meet particular requirements.
Colour ring
yellow - violet - brown (gold)
yellow - violet - red (gold)
brown - black - yellow (gold)
