VEC-1200KC Assembly Manual
CW Transmitter
To install your CW Transmitter in the VEC-1200KC matching enclosure
follow these instructions (read all instructions before beginning... take your
time):
1. Find the 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. e.) 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 corner alignment
marks) secure the decal by rubbing and removing all air bubbles. e.) If the
alignment circles are not centered, adjust the decal accordingly, then secure. f.)
Use a penknife, or small ExactoT" knife, to cut away the unused edges (cut
from the adhesive side) 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. Install the four 1/2" mounting screws next. Insert the screws, from the
bottom, through the four holes closest to each corner of the chassis.
4. Place the four 3/16" round spacers on the mounting screws.
5. Now insert the PC board. This must be done by: a.) Insert the front of the PC
board at an angle so the controls enter their respective holes. b.) 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.
7. Find the knob and switch caps. Align the red switch cap with SW1 and push
it on. If it is difficult to push on, then rotate it 90
°
and try again. Repeat
procedure for SW2 using the black switch cap. Now place the knob on C5. You
may need to loosen the set screw. Align appropriately then tighten the set
screw.
8. Install the top now. Use the two remaining 3/16" screws for securing the top
to the L-brackets. Make sure the L-brackets are aligned properly.
9. Finally, place the four rubber feet on the bottom of the enclosure at the
corners.
