Since this is a High Voltage product, we sincerely hope you put this together
in a professional manner. This project will not work as well as you wished if you
just slap it together without following good assembly techniques and all the
instructions. No matter how clear we may think our manual is, if you have any
questions, give us a call at the factory instead of jumping to conclusions. We
will be happy to help you with any problems.
This is a high voltage project so we want to mount the parts AS LOW AS
POSSIBLE to the board. A 1/4” lead length on a resistor not mounted close to
the board can act as a potential shorting point while experimenting. Be aware
though that there are stand up components in your circuit. They don’t need to
be squished to the board. Just follow the specific instructions and check them
off as you go.
For each part, our word "Install" always means these steps:
1. Pick the correct part value to start with.
2. Insert it into the correct PC board location, making sure the part is
mounted flush to the PC board unless otherwise noted.
3. Orient it correctly, follow the PC board drawing and the written directions
for all parts - especially when there's a right way and a wrong way to solder
it in. (Diode bands, electrolytic capacitor polarity, transistor shapes, dotted
or notched ends of IC's, and so forth.)
4. Solder all connections unless directed otherwise. Use enough heat and
solder flow for clean, shiny, completed connections.
Keeping this in mind, lets begin by sorting out our components and cross-
checking them against the parts list to make sure we have received everything.
NOTE TO NEWCOMERS: If you are a first time kit builder you may find this
manual easier to understand than you may have expected. Each part in the kit
is checked off as you go and a detailed description of each one is given while
you install them. If you follow each step in the manual in order, and practice
good soldering and kit building skills, the kit is next to fail-safe. If a problem
does occur, the manual will lead you through step by step in the
troubleshooting guide until you find the problem and are able to correct it.
