Montage 

Now  that  everything  is  soldered  and  the 
device is tuned, we can montage the panel.  

It  is  however  possible  to  tune  the  MCVC 
while the panel has been placed. 

Place  the  two  spacers/standoffs  (yellow 
marking  on  figure  13)  and  screw  the  black 
3mm screws from the back (PCB). Place the 
panel  and  screw  all  hex  nuts  +  the  2  silver 
3mm screws as show in figure 14.
