Transient Modules
15. Solder the 10 pin male header
ensuring it's 90º to the PCB.
NOTE!
This part is placed at the bottom of the
PCB and soldered from the top, as shown on the
image.
Since the potentiometers are positioned
NOTE!
above the headers, cut the pins of the headers on
the top side, so there is a bit more of space
between them.
16. Cut the blue little leg on the 3
potentiometers to make a bit more of
space between them and the headers as
well.
17. Screw the 11mm spacer (the one
which is slightly bigger) using one M3
black screw as shown.
18. Place the 6x jack sockets, the 3x
100KB potentiometers and the 3x leds
into their position but
anything yet.
NOTE!
Orientation is vital. The long leg of the
leds should be positioned in the pad marked with
the + symbol.
19. Use your hands to screw the 10mm
spacer to the panel using the hexagonal
M2 screw (the one of the two which is
more tiny).
20. Place the front panel moving a little
the parts if necessary. The spacer in the
panel should match the hole in the PCB.
Join both using the phillips M2 screw.
