Assembly hints 1.3 Soldering Hints : 1- Mount the component against the PCB surface and carefully solder the leads 2- Make sure the solder joints are cone-shaped and shiny 3- Trim excess leads as close as possible to the solder joint REMOVE THEM FROM THE TAPE ONE AT A TIME ! AXIAL COMPONENTS ARE TAPED IN THE CORRECT MOUNTING SEQUENCE !

Assembly, Hook-up & Use 17. ASSEMBLY, HOOK-UP AND USE Attention : There is no transformer isolating this circuit from the mains. Therefore, all parts of the PCB carry a potentially lethal voltage. The circuit must be mounted in an adapted enclosure according to the applicable norms, so that no live parts can be touched or present any other danger.

Finishing 18. FINISHING When mounting the kit in an enclosure you should make sure the enclosure is sufficiently insulated according to local norms. The complete PCB is best fixed to the front panel of the casing, so that all controls are accessible and the LED's are visible.
