CP5176 Assembly guide
Safety warning
The kits are main powered and use potentially lethal voltages. Under no circumstance should someone undertake the
realisation of a kit unless he has full knowledge about safely handling main powered devices.
Please read the "DIY guide" before beginning.
Print or open the following documents :
• CP5176 Schematics
• CP5176 Components layout
• CP5176 Parts list
• CP5176 Setup guide
Follow this guide from item number 1 till the end, in this order. The assembly order is based on components height, from
low to high profile, in order to ease the soldering process : The component you are soldering is always taller than the
previously assembled ones and it is pressing nicely against the work area foam.
CP5176 Assembly guide – Main PCB
1.
PCB to PCB connectors
Insert the male, 90° angled, 2x10 connectors into the corresponding 2x10 sockets and put them in
place, flat under the PCB. Solder.
: The connectors are installed on the solder side of the PCB.
Warning
Warning
: It is important not to split the PCB before this step as the small PCB is used to line up the
connectors horizontally.
