SOLDERING TIPS It is important to make a good solder joint at each connection point. A cold solder joint is a connection that may look connected but is actually disconnected or intermittently connected. (A cold solder joint can keep your project from working.) Follow these tips to make a good solder joint.
SECTION 1 – Mount ¼” Jacks and Terminal Strip Components Please refer to DRAWING 1 and DRAWING 2. Input Jack Orient box with single centered 5/16" hole on top and ½” hole nearest you. RING LUG GROUND LUG Mount input jack in 3/8" hole on left side of box with hardware provided. Washer goes under nut on outside of box.
1) Mount two 1M resistors to the lower set of holes of the terminals listed below, but do not solder. Terminals #4 & 6: 1M resistor Terminals #6 & 8: 1M resistor 2) Mount a 2 ¼” piece of wire to the lower holes of terminals #2 and #6.
Please refer to DRAWING 4. 1) Connect a 2 3/4” piece of wire to terminals #5 and #12. 2) Connect a 1 ½” piece of wire to footswitch lugs 3 and 6. (Bend this wire down so it rests flat against the back of the footswitch. This will keep the battery insulated from the footswitch terminals and prevent a possible short across the battery casing).
