ASSEMBLY

Assembly of you Ion Cannon is pretty simple. It does however require a

pretty hot soldering iron and some patience. Most of this kit is mechanical in

nature so think of it more like an erector set.

 1. We will begin by assembling the most difficult item first in order to get it

out of the way. This requires a bit of solder and a lot of patience to make it

look good. Please don’t rush this part. For this step you will need the

seven couplers and the board with the seven holes in it. The goal is to

solder all seven couplers so that they mount in place about 1/2 way

through the circuit board.

To make this job a bit easier, you may wish to make a temporary jig to

hold the PC board up in place. Use something heat resistant and about

half the height of the copper couplers in order to mount them at their mid-

point in the holes. The setup should be secure enough that you can solder

to it easily.

 2. Solder the center coupler first. You do not need to solder all the way

around the coupler unless you really want to. A full ring of solder is very

difficult to do since once the pipe gets hot enough, all of you solder will run

away on you. Soldering two opposite sides of each of the tubes in order to

make sure they stayed in place is fine. When you are done soldering this

coupler, blow on the pipe until it is cool! You don’t want to handle it when it

is hot enough to melt solder.

 3. Using the same process, solder the remaining pipes in place. Try to

keep them level with the first pipe and centered just like the first one.

Once you get three pipes in a row installed, the rest will be easier to

position.
