EQ573 Assembly guide – Main board

10. Relays

Add RLY1 and RLY2.

11. Electrolytic capacitors

Add C19 to C23, C76, C77, C82, C83, C85, C90, C91, C93 to C96.
Solder one lead first, adjust verticality then solder the second lead.

Warning

 : The +lead must go into the +hole. Do not reverse (they may explode !)

12. Inductors

It is necessary to leave a small gap between the inductors and the PCB surface in order to avoid any 
electrical contact between the metal parts and pads. Fit a piece of double sided adhesive tape (supplied 
with the kit) on the inductor, between the pins. It is not necessary to remove the second protective 

layer from the tape as it is only used as a spacer. 

Solder L1 and L2.
