    1.1. Contents of the package  1 one kit S88-2 (item no. 44-01205-01), containing the components listed in the parts list (see section 3.4.) and one PCB or 1 ready-built and tested circuit board S88-2 (item no. 44-01206-01) or 1 s88 booster S88-2 in housing (item no.
  • Page 5: Safety Instructions

    S88-2 1.4. Safety instructions Please note: The s88 booster contains integrated circuits (ICs). These are sensitive to electrostatic charging. Therefore, do not touch these components until you have "discharged" yourself. For this purpose, e.g. a grip on a radiator is sufficient.
  • Page 6: Operation Overview

    S88-2 tams elektronik 2. Operation overview The s88 booster reduces the interference that can occur during data transmission from the s88 feedback modules to the receiver (control unit, PC via interface or memory) when 6-core cables are used as bus lines. Interference is caused by external electrical signals such as: ...

    S88-2 3. Assembling the kit You can skip this section if you have purchased a ready-built module or device. 3.1. Safety instructions Mechanical hazards Cut wires can have sharp ends and can cause serious injuries. Watch out for sharp edges when you pick up the PCB.
  • Page 8: Soldering Properly

    S88-2 tams elektronik 3.2. Soldering properly  Use a soldering iron with temperature control, which you set to approx. 300 °C.  Only use electronic solder with a flux.  Never use soldering water or soldering grease when soldering electronic circuits. These contain an acid that destroys components and conductor paths.
  • Page 9 S88-2 Ceramic capacitors Among other things ceramic capacitors are used for filtering interference voltages or as frequency determining parts. Ceramic capacitors are not polarized. Normally they are marked with a three-digit number which indicates the value coded. The number 104 corresponds to the value 100 nF.
