Assembly Manual NixieTherm RGB
Foreword
Dear Nixie friend,
Thank you for purchasing this state-of-the-art Nixie thermometer DIY kit. You have purchased a product
that captivates as a DIY version a component quality and choice of materials that is outstanding in the
market and will certainly draw the attention of their acquaintances in the future.
However, this also means that you should not "cobble together" this kit in record time. Take a quiet
evening and about one hour time to build.
Also, you should already have the necessary equipment and knowledge to be able to build such a
high-quality DIY kit without complications. The resulting success will definitely reward you for your
effort and stamina.
The instructions assume electronic fundamentals, i.e. you already know that ICs, LEDs and transistors
are poled components and may not be soldered in reverse polarity. These parts are also very sensitive
for electrostatic discharge. Furthermore, the usage of a temperature-controlled soldering station with
max. 1 mm wide tip and correspondingly fine electronic solder as well as appropriate tools (multimeter,
TX10, PH1/2 and mini slotted screwdriver, side cutter, tweezers, magnifying glass, etc.) are advised.
Please follow the steps and tips and hints in this manual. These are all tried out and tested
and allow you a trouble-free setup.
Important Safety Instructions
During installation, commissioning and measurements and repair special care is required! Assembling
of the circuit is at your own risk. The functionality can not be guaranteed, nor the suitability for certain
purposes. The user himself has to check this and is responsible for this suitability.
No liability can be accepted for damages arising during or as a result of the assembly or operation, in
particular for damages resulting from a lack of electronic skills.
The thermometer may only be operated in a touch-proof housing in dry indoor enviroment. Operation
without or with defective tubes is not permitted!
The person who has completed a kit or has made an assembly ready by extension or encolure
installation, is according to VDE 0869 a manufacturer and therefore provided to supply all documents
when selling the device and also give his name and address.
Devices which are assembled from kits themselves are to be considered as an industrial product in
terms of safety.
And now, after these necessary introductory words - fire up your soldering station ...
