for the A,'MG PC -board
shows
switch Si soldered
directly on
the board.
Notice transistor orientation,
and the polarity of capacitors and
diode Dl.
FIG. 3 -THE INSIDE VIEW
OF
THE A/MG control box. Notice the clean layout. A
9 -volt-
battery compartment
is
just below
PC
board.
on the component side of the board.
The 555
will
be installed on top
of that
wire.
6. Identify the three
transistors,
QI-Q3.
Install
them
with their flat
side facing the proper direction, ac-
cording to the
Parts -Placement di-
agram
in
Fig. 2.
7. Install
ICI with pin I in the lower
-
right
corner near DI. (Pin
I is
also
identified
on
the copper
foil.) Be
sure
the jumper
wire has been installed
under ICI before you
install ICI
or a
socket. We'll
continue
with
the
re-
maining wires later.
8. Temporarily mount
the board
loosely in the bottom half of the box
on
top of the
mounting
bosses, and
mark
the
hole for the on /off switch.
Be
sure
to
slide
the
switch
between
its
two positions when marking the cut-
out. The
plastic
is
easy to
cut, so a
small, flat file
is all that's
required.
The switch has
a
low profile, so the
top half of the
case does
not
have to
be
notched.

9. In the bottom half
of the case,
mount a mini phone -jack (JI) for the
goggles. Also, mount a jack
for the
AC adapter (J2) on the top
half of
the
case.
Make sure the jack clears any
internal
obstructions.
10. Insert the battery-clip
leads from
inside the battery holder through the
slot on the right
side.
Tie a
large knot
in the leads to keep them
from pulling
back through the
slot, while leaving
11/4 inch of lead length to
solder to the
PC board.
11. Solder the black battery-lead
to
solder
pad "A" and the red lead
in pad
"D." (If you aren't installing an AC-
adapter jack at this time,
solder the
red battery lead to pad "C," and the
black lead to pad "A. ")
12. Solder a red
wire
to pad "C"
and a
black
wire
to pad "B," then route
them
to the
AC-
adapter
jack and
sol-
der
them in place. Make sure that the
polarity of the adapter matches the red
( + )
and black ( - )
wires.
Also, con-
nect a
white wire
between pad "E"
and the
switched
terminal
on
the
same
jack. (That
way,
the battery
will
be
disconnected
when
the AC adapter
is
plugged in.)
13. Solder a black
wire
between pad
"H" and the outer ring terminal of the
jack for the goggles, then
solder
a red
wire
between pad "1" and the "tip"
terminal
of the
same
jack.
1.1. Drill
a hole
in
the center of the
box's
cover
for the flash -rate
potenti-
ometer,
RI.
15.
If the theta -range option is used,
connect a pair of lightly
twisted
3-
inch
wires
from pads "J" and "K"
and S2,
which should
be mounted on
the instrument's
cover.
Either
wire
can
go to
either
pad. When
S2
is
closed, the A /MG will be operating in
55
