Steps to solder components in order for OSC 4.9 ____________________________________________ Please look the board over carefully and read the instructions and parts list to familiarize yourself with the assembly procedure before you begin. Please also familiarize yourself with transistor orientation: looking at the front (flat side), the three leads are, left to right: emitter, base, collector. All the transistors that are high voltage do not have the transistor shape silkscreened on the board, they are outlined with a rectangle instead, with the emitter marked with an “E”. IC's are marked on one end with a small indented "notch". The IC sockets are also notched. Electrolytic (cylindrical shape) capacitors have a + & - side . Solder all components on the bottom of the board where possible, and insert the wires through the holes & solder them to the bottom of board. Note: if equipping with wifi/gps module, do not install the module until after setup and initial testing. Part 1 : High Voltage supply T1 transformer – note orientation J1 - 4 pin jumper - only necessary to switch between 120VAC (U.S.) and 240VAC (some other countries) - If this is not necessary, you may solder a small jumper to the appropriate holes (120 or 240, marked) to make a permanent connection. fuse D3 & D4 - 1N4007 diodes NOTE ORIENTATION C1 & C2 - 4.7uF 450V capacitor, NOTE ORIENTATION + - R1 - 10 ohm, 3 W resistor (brown black black) P2 - 1M ohm .25 W potentiometer (105), DON’T SOLDER WIPER TERMINAL YET P1 - 1M ohm .25 W potentiometer (105), DON’T SOLDER WIPER YET P20 – 100K .12 W potentiometer (104) R37 - 10M ohm resistor (brown black blue) Neon bulb (HV indicator) R107 – 470K, ½ W P223 – 5K or 4.7K .12 W potentiometer P3 – (top adjust) - 50Kohm (503) or 47Kohm (473) potentiometer, .25W R99 & R4 – 330k OHM (FOR DG7-6) (220K for most others) R6 &R8 – 180K OHM RESISTOR (FOR DG7/6) (220K for most others) Solder 8” of ~18 gauge wire with black insulation to Fuse input marked "HOT" (left side, end of Fuse closer to X1). Solder 8” of ~18 gauge wire with white insulation to NEUTRAL Insert a temporary jumper (do not solder) into the lower left holes of the relay as shown in Jumper.jpg Connect black wire to an AC cord hot and white wire to neutral , plug into wall outlet & test for high voltage. Neon light should be on . Test for ~300 VDC at C6 - and R8 + , with C6 negative & R8 positive Test for ~300VDC at G (next to neon) , and C6 -, with G negative & C6 - positive If this step checks ok, disconnect power cord, remove the jumper wire & proceed to Part 2. Part 2 : Low voltage supply & wave shaper, relay control Relay - ORIENT CORRECTLY - it only fits correctly one way B1 - full wave rectifier bridge NOTE ORIENTATION (it has - & +) Rfilament – 5 ohm 1 W resistor – (stand off 1/4” from board, it becomes warm during operation) This can be different depending on the individual crt, some experimenting may be necessary to find the optimal value. The best way to determine the right value for your crt is to measure filament voltage and observe brightness after the kit is finished and the crt is connected. Filament voltage may need to be between 4 – 6VAC depending on the crt. R14 – 100K D9 – 1N4001 diode Q7 - 2N3904 NPN transistor ORIENT correctly C6 - 1,000 uF, 16 V+ cap NOTE ORIENTATION S3 - tactile pushbutton switch (toggle display on / off) R38 - 2.2 K ohm, ¼ watt (red red red) R33 - 10 K ohm, ¼ W (brown black orange) R27 - 10 K ohm, ¼ W (brown black orange) Q8 - 2N3904 transistor 7805 - 5V regulator NOTE ORIENTATION R29 - 1K ohm ¼ W D56 - 1N4001 diode NOTE ORIENTATION C22 - .01 uF ( 103 ) cap C10 - 100 uF , 6.3 - 10 V cap NOTE ORIENTATION LED - note orientation R26 – 1K P6 (side adjust) - 50K ohm side adjust potentiometer (x centering), these don’t go all the way through the holes, ok to solder on top of board P7 (side adjust) - 50K ohm pot (y center) Plug power cord in again. Test for low voltage at C55 (+5V), right side should be negative, left side 5V positive. Test the relay control by carefully touching a jumper wire to R33 (left side) and the positive side (left side) of C55. The relay will click and the neon bulb should light .

Adjust P6 (h. ctr) clockwise 75% and P7 (v. ctr) counter-clockwise 75% Adjust all other potentiometers to 50%(middle of adjustment)except P3 adjust clockwise 75% P1, P2, P223, P9, P20, P10, P01, P4, P5 Plug the power cord in and when it warms it should display a dot or blob on the screen. Adjust focus for clearest, anode for roundest shape. Unplug the power cord. Insert the two 3307 op amps into the U5 & U4 sockets, with the notches oriented correctly. Insert a jumper from U9 socket pin #6 to U3 pin # 1 Plug the power cord back in. Adjust P6 to center (50%), this should display a line. Unplug the cord. Insert a jumper from U3 pin # 3 to U10 pin # 6. Plug cord back in. Adjust P7 to center and it should be a rough circle shape. Adjust P10 clockwise until it becomes a smooth oval. Adjust P01 to center to get the most circular shape. Adjust H. gain & V. gain (P4 & P5) to get a circle. Unplug cord. Remove all jumpers. Insert the remainder of the IC's – 4132's go in U9 & U10 The CAT5113's (DS1804's) go in U6 & U7. The 4066 goes in U3 & the 18f26k20 goes in U1. The 12f683 goes in U12. Adjust P20 clockwise for brightness. Adjust P3 counter-clockwise for blanking. Adjust H. gain & V. gain to desired size. Adjust P223 for best balance. Adjust P10 counterclockwise for size/gain Adjust P9 clockwise for shape. Unplug and wait a few minutes then plug back in and re-adjust P10, then P9. Re-adjust P223 if necessary. This may need to be done several times to get the best quality display possible. Each time the program will sample the oscillator frequency and improve the image.
