PERCALL V1- ASSEMBLY GUIDE – MAY 2020
FEMALE PIN HEADERS
Place the female pin headers on the control board over the silkscreen markings at positions and solder. Double check
they all are perfectly straight.

Now it’s a good moment to split the boards apart.
SPACER
Secure the spacer onto the CONTROL PCB (through the two hole with silver outline) with the main body of the spacer on
the component side, and the nut on the opposite.
FADER
Place the faders on the PCB where it is indicated by the silkscreen (on the reverse side to the smaller
components). You can solder two of the small pins first to make sure faders are straight. Then solder
the rest.

You’re nearly at the end, but the next part is critical and takes a good bit of concentration. If you’re
feeling a bit strained, a break would definitely help. Reply to those unread messages or prove
someone wrong in Internet, for example. Mechanical parts are really delicate and will need your full
attention.
FRONT PANEL COMPONENTS MOUNTING TIPS:
Now we will proceed to mount mechanical parts to panel. This part of the assembly is CRITICAL. Please take your time
and read the following instructions carefully.
These components must
NOT
be soldered until they are placed on the PCB and fully attached to the front panel!!!
There are two reasons for this:
•
The height of the panel components are not all the same. Because of this, if not attached properly before
soldering, they will not stay properly seated against the panel. This might cause mechanical stress reducing their
life expectancy and in the worst case cause them to break.
•
The second reason is that it is very difficult to align the components to the holes if the panel is not positioned
prior to soldering.
MINI-JACKS
Place the mini-jacks on the PCB ensuring they are on the side with the silkscreen. Some of the minijacks ground legs
will share the same solder holes (the 12 at the bottom).
don't solder them
until the front panel is in place with all nuts
screwed to it.
This way it's easier to solder them in the right position. Keep in mind that the front panel holes are quite
narrow and it is almost impossible to place it with all the components already soldered.
