Kit Construction:
Keep all semiconductor parts in the anti-static packaging until you are ready to use them. Always use
good static prevention practices when working with static sensitive parts. This means you should wear a
grounding strap when possible, or work on a static-dissipative work surface. Use a grounded tip soldering
iron. When soldering small parts it is a good idea to use a small, pencil-type soldering iron of no more
than 25 Watts or so, or preferably a temperature controlled soldering station. Use pliers, clamps or
alligator clips as heat sinks to prevent heat damage to parts while soldering. If you are not fairly
experienced with soldering small parts, you may want to practice on some scrap parts first or get some
help.
Work in an area with good lighting. You may want to use a magnifying lens to do some of the small
soldering required. Insert each component from the top side of the board (the side with the white
silkscreen lettering), in the order shown in the instructions below. As each component is installed, solder
the leads and trim off excess leads with a small pair of side cutters.
1.
Install a .1 uF capacitor (marked 104) in the location marked C1.
2.
Install a .1 uF capacitor at C11.
3.
Install a .33uF capacitor (marked 334) at C2.
4.
Install a .33 uF capacitor at C3.
5.
Install a .01 uF capacitor (marked 103) at C4.
6.
Install a .01 uF capacitor at C6.
7.
Install the .047 uF capacitor (marked 473) at C8.
8.
