Assembly Cont’d
Pre-assembly overview.
When assembly starts on page 9, it will roughly follow this order…
Installation of resistors
Installation of ceramic disc capacitors
Installation of miscellaneous small parts
Installation of miscellaneous large parts and connectors
Installation of chokes
The idea is be able to lay the board flat as much as possible during construction, with lowest parts being installed first. The chokes are
the lone exemption… they are installed last so as to make sure each circuit is drawing the right amount of current before continuing.
This is done by monitoring total current draw of LP-PAN while adding the chokes one by one.
You will need the following tools to complete assembly…
Adjustable soldering iron – 800 degrees maximum
60/40 alloy solder… .020” (0.51mm) diameter recommended for thermal pads
Needle-nose pliers
Wire cutters
Small Philips head screwdriver
Digital Multimeter
NOTE: The LP-PAN is an intermediate level kit. I would peg the assembly time at about 2-3 hours, plus some reading through the
manual in advance, and some time for calibration afterward. Take your time, and double-check your work, and you should have no
problem. All critical parts are pre-installed.
