Assembly Manual
QRP-CW Transceiver Kit
To install your transceiver in the VEC-1300KC matching enclosure follow these
instructions (read all instructions before beginning ... take your time):
1. Find the appropriate front panel decal and rear panel decal; separate using
scissors. Be sure to leave excess decal material around the edges. Put the rear
panel decal on first.
This is done by: a.) Remove all debris and oil from the
chassis. This should be done using a piece of cloth and alcohol. b.) Remove the
crack and peel to expose the adhesive. c.) Place the decal on the rear panel
without securing it completely. d.) Gently rub the alignment circles with your
finger--if the circles are centered in the enclosure holes (also check the comer
alignment marks) secure the decal by rubbing and removing all air bubbles.
c.) If the alignment circles are not centered, adjust the decal accordingly, then
secure.
f.) Use a penknife, or small Exacto(TM) knife, to cut away the unused
edges (cut from the adhesive .ride) and cut out the component holes (cut from
the description side). g.) Repeat this procedure for the front panel.
2. Next, install the two L-brackets on the chassis using two of the 3/16" screws.
The longer side of the L-bracket must be connected to the chassis using the two
holes centered on each edge of the enclosure. Refer to the diagram on the next
page for location and orientation.
3. I nstall the four 1/2" mounting screws next. Insert the screws, from the bottom,
t hrough the four holes relatively close to each comer of the chassis.
4.
Place the four 3/16" round spacers on the mounting screws.
5. Now
i nsert the PC board.
This must be done by: a.) Remove the nut and
washer from R 1. b.) Insert the front of the PC board at an angle so the controls
enter their respective holes. c.) Push down on the rear of the board. Make sure
the mounting screws align with the mounting holes in the PC board before
pushing.
6. Use the four hex nuts to secure the PC board.
Be certain all appropriate
components are centered with the enclosure holes before tightening.
Put the
washer and nut--removed from R1--back on and tighten.
7. Find the knobs and switch caps. Align the red switch cap with SW 1 and push it
on. Repeat for SW2 with the black switch cap. If the caps are difficult to push
on, then rotate them 90° and try again. Now put the knobs on R1 and C16.
You may need to loosen the set screw. Align appropriately then tighten the set
screws.
S. Locate the two 1/4" phone jacks, two silver washers, and two large nuts. Place
a washer on the speaker jack and insert into the rear mounting hole labeled
SPKR. Put one of the nuts on the jack and tighten.
Repeat this process for the
key jack and insert into the mounting hole labeled KEY.
9. Install the top now. Use the two remaining 3/i6" screws for securing the top to
the L-brackets. Make sure the L-brackets are properly
10. Finally, place the four rubber feet on the bottom of the enclosure at the comers.
