MP 5.99 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 :
• MP599 Schematics
• MP599 Components layout
• MP599 Parts list
• MP599 Test 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.
MP 5.99 Assembly guide
1.
DOA Pin Sockets
Solder the 7 pin sockets for the DOA. Solder one at a time. Insert one
socket, turn over the PCB and press against a solid but flexible surface like
cork or dense foam then solder. The correct positioning of the sockets is
very important for easy insertion of the DOA.
2.
Diodes
Add D1 to D4, D6 to D11. Use a lead forming tool to bend the leads at 0.4".
Warning
: Make sure to respect the direction of the diodes which is marked by a ring on the component
and a double line on the PCB marking.
3.
Resistors
Add R1 to R40. The resistors marked NC in the parts-list should not be installed.
Control the resistor values with a digital multimeter. Bend the leads at 0.4" with a lead forming tool.
4.
Integrated Circuit
Insert U2 and solder. You will need to bend the pins slightly inwards before inserting. Make sure you are
not charged with electrostatic electricity before handling the IC (or remove your shoes).
Warning
: Make sure to respect the IC direction, marked by a notch. Do not use a socket because it
would be to high for the Di01 board.
5.
IC Socket
Insert and solder the socket of UI. Do not insert U1 at this time.
Warning
: Make sure to respect the socket direction, marked by a notch.
