Final Assembly
Mount the circuit board to the front panel support bracket.
1) Set all toggle switches in the
down position. Feed the
switch batons into the holes
through the rear of the support bracket. Be sure the
bracket is fully seated
against the body of every
switch. You may have to
squeeze/push the panel
firmly around a few of the
switches to free those spots
where the support bracket
may be caught on the
switch threads.
2) Install a lock washer and nut (finger tighten only) on the power switch, all eight momentary
switches, and every other address switch (A14, A12, A10,… down to A0) as highlighted below.
3) Incrementally tighten nuts – one on the far left, then one on the far right, working back to the
middle, then repeat tightening each nut a bit more. A 5/16” deep socket makes this job much easier. Do not over-tighten the nuts – trust the lock washer!
