CONTROL PANEL MOUNTING AND WIRING
For best operation of the Amplifier, all wire
should be positioned neatly. Refer to the Chassis
Photos (fold-out from Page 38) which show how a
completed kit should look.
( ) Position the chassis and control panel as
shown in Detail 8A. Secure the control panel
to the chassis with 6-32 x 3/8" hardware.
NOTE:
The
large black hookup wire is quite
similar to the shielded cable. Remove 1/4" of
insulation from one end of each of these wires;
then be sure you choose the shielded cable (with
the foil inner wrap) for the next step. Also, do
not confuse the 2-conductor (two inner leads and
a shield) shielded cable with the single conductor
(one inner lead and a shield) shielded cable. The
2-conductor shielded cable should only be used
for the wiring of the foot switch.
( ) Refer to Detail 8B, and prepare the ends of
a 10" length of single conductor shielded
cable.
