Solder each coax cable into the holes. Attach a tie-wrap to secure the coax cable flush to
the board. The tie-wrap goes down, into the left hole and up through the right hole.
Secure and trim off any excess. See the photograph below for proper mounting (this is
generic photo, not
specifically using the MOTM-510 pc board).
Locate the 2 red/black twisted wires. These solder into J4 and J6. One end of the wires
has more insulation stripped than the other. We call this the “long end”. The “short end”
is what solders into the pc board. Solder the red wire in the top (#1) hole and the black
wire in the bottom (#2) hole.
Locate the orange/white twisted wire. It solders into J2. Solder the white wire into the
top hole (#1) and the orange wire into the bottom hole (#2).
Locate the red/black/white twisted wire. It solders into VR5. The red wire goes into the
top hole (#3), the black wire goes into the center hole (#2) and the white wire goes into
the bottom (#1) hole.
Locate the 2 orange/gray/white twisted wires. These solder into VR6 and VR7. Solder
the orange wire into the top (#3) hole, the gray wire into the center (#2) hole and the
white wire into the bottom (#1) hole.
Locate the really pretty but painfully expensive IC U4, the AD538. After admiring the
shiny gold top and handsome ceramic body, reflect for a moment that if you mess this
next step up, it’s going to cost you $55 :)
Pin 1 of this IC has a small, white triangle by it. The ‘point’ of the triangle will be
pointing to a thin ‘strip’ of metal. A free Dr. Pepper to the first person who guesses what
this little strip is for.
The ‘flat’ side of the little triangle is PIN #1 .
If you somehow forgot to install the IC socket, do so now, using no-clean solder.
Soldering U4 into the pc board is, in technical terms, a ‘bad idea’.
