Caution:
Diodes, ICs, electrolytic capacitors and transistors must be placed in the
right direction! If you solder them the wrong way the affected parts can be
damaged when you connect the power supply. In the worst case the whole
circuit can be damaged. In any case, a wrongly connected part will not
function.
Finally, solder in the terminal strip and insert the ICs into the soldered
IC-socket.
Caution:
Do not touch the ICs without first discharging yourself by touching a
radiator or other grounded metal parts. Do not bend the "legs" of the
ICs when inserting them into the sockets. Check that the markings on
the PCB, the socket and the IC show to the same direction.
Performing a visual check
Perform a visual check after the assembly of the module and remove
faults if necessary:
 Remove all loose parts, wire ends or drops of solder from the PCB.
Remove all sharp wire ends.
 Check that solder contacts which are close to each other are not
unintentionally connected to each other. Risk of short circuit!
 Check that all components are polarised correctly.
When you have remedied all faults, go on to the next part.
