1.

 

For

 

best

 

results,

 

perform

 

this

 

procedure

 

away

 

from

 

direct

 

light

 

source.

 

2.

 

With

 

enclosure

 

positioned

 

on

 

its

 

side,

 

connect

 

voltmeter

 

to

 

TP6

 

(GND)

 

and

 

TP5

 

(Pedal

 

CV)

 

3.

 

Cover

 

entire

 

enclosure

 

with

 

dark

 

cloth

 

material

 

to

 

keep

 

ambient

 

light

 

from

 

reaching

 

LDRs

 

causing

 

inaccurate

 

readings.

 

4.

Engage

 

pedal

(SW2)

  

5.

 

Adjust

 

TR7

 

(Coarse

 

adjust)

 

and

 

TR4

 

(Fine

 

adjust)

 

to

 

where

 

voltage

 

readings

 

are

 

approximately

 

11.60v

 

(toe

 

down)

 

and

 

2.29v

 

(heel

 

down)

 

6.

 

Due

 

to

 

variances

 

in

 

LEDs

 

and

 

LDRs,

 

It

 

may

 

be

 

necessary

 

to

 

adjust

 

D18,

 

LDR1,

 

LDR2

 ‐ 

up,

 

down,

 

right

 

or

 

left

 

to

 

achieve

 

the

 

target

 

voltages.
