Summary of Contents for SOTABEAMS PowerPole Fuser-6
- Page 1 Spotted a mistake or need help? Please let us know if you need help! Email support@sotabeams.co.uk Tools needed Soldering iron (50 Watts with medium/large bit) and solder Small screwdriver (cross head) Long nosed pliers Wire cutters Page 1 © SOTABEAMS LAST UPDATED 12 May 2021...
- Page 2 Using wire cutters trim the excess legs / leads of both the LED and resistor. 3. Slide the fuse contacts onto the fuses. Make sure that the open end of the contact is the same side on each leg of every fuse. Page 2 © SOTABEAMS LAST UPDATED 12 May 2021...
- Page 3 Bridging the track spokes is not a problem – it reduces the resistance. The spokes are there to help you get the board/pins up to temperature for soldering. Page 3 © SOTABEAMS LAST UPDATED 12 May 2021...
- Page 4 Visually check that the pin is fully inserted. The shoulder of the pin should be a few mm below the end of the shell. 6. Pair up, the shells as shown, one black and one red. Slide the red along the black to lock the two together. Page 4 © SOTABEAMS LAST UPDATED 12 May 2021...
- Page 5 E1. Mount the 9 nylon spacers on the upper side of the PCB with the nylon nuts on the underside. Do not over-tighten the nuts – nylon threads are easy to strip. Page 5 © SOTABEAMS LAST UPDATED 12 May 2021...
- Page 6 Drill clearance holes carefully through the box first. I would recommend using 4 mounting screws. E6. Finally attach the front panel of the Fuser-6 into the box using the four black self-tapping screws. Page 6 © SOTABEAMS LAST UPDATED 12 May 2021...
- Page 7 10 Amps. The total current through the Fuser 6 should be limited to 30 Amps. Remember that your radios only draw significant current when transmitting. The supplied fuses can be replaced with different values if you wish. Page 7 © SOTABEAMS LAST UPDATED 12 May 2021...
