is not responsible for parts damaged due to
incorrect wiring.
If you suspect you have damaged parts, you can
follow this procedure to systematically determine
which ones need replacing:
1. Lamp (76), LED (69), Battery Holder (91): Place
part directly across the battery holder as shown, it should
light. If none work, then replace
your batteries and repeat, if still
bad then the battery holder is
damaged. Make sure the LED is
installed in the correct direction.
2. Wire Blocks (1-5), Spring Wire (9), and Speaker
(95): Use this mini-circuit to test each of the Wire Blocks
and Speaker (95), one at a time. The lamp (76) should light
if the part is functioning properly. Follow the steps below:
Spring Wire test - Build the circuit shown
below. The lamp (76) should light.
Wire Block tests - Insert the Wire
Blocks between the spring wire to
lamp connection shown in the gure.
The lamp should light.
Speaker test - Insert the speaker (95) between the spring
wire to lamp connection shown in the gure. The speaker will
not sound, but the lamp will light.
3. Motor (95): Place the motor across
the battery holder (95 at top) as shown; it
should spin clockwise.
4. Switch (62), Press switch (61), Reed Switch
(83), Touch Plate (80):
Use this circuit to test each
switch and the touch plate (80). The lamp (76) should light.
If the lamp doesn’t light, then the switch is bad.
Switch - Up position the lamp off, Down position lamp on.
Press - Light when switch is
pressed.
Reed - When you place the
magnet on the switch the
lamp should light.
Touch Plate - Wet your nger;
when you touch the contacts, the lamp should light.
5. Three-In-One (11): Siren & Machine Gun - Build project
#49, you should hear a siren sound from the speaker.
Space Battle - Build project #52, you should hear a space
battle sound from the speaker.
Music - Build project #47, you should hear a music from the
speaker.
