Issue 64 contains – Hinged Dome Panel, Hinge, Fixing Screws, Flanged Fixing Screws, Allen Key, Allen Screws.
Fitting the hinged panel.
Take the dome frame together with the hinged dome panel, hinge, two 2.5x4mm screws and one 1.6x11mm screw provided this time.Slot the hinge onto the panel ensuring it is both the correct way round and the correct way up as identified by the central spot. Drive the long screw through the hinge until it is fully home. Do not overtighten it and make sure the hinge moves freely.
Fit the hinge to the gap in the black plastic frame at the top of the head frame. Line up the mounting holes with the two holes in the metal frame. Fit two 2.5x4mm screws to hold the hinge in place. Test that the flap opens and closes freely and that it fits flush into the shallow recess in the black plastic frame.
Fitting the dome.
Take the top disc and plastic spacers supplied with Issue 63, together with five 2x6mm flanged screws and one 2x4mm flanged screw provided this time. Separate the spacers from the sprue.
Take the microphone from Issue 18 and align its lead with the correct hole in the dome frame. Feed the lead all the way through into the framework and seat the microphone against the frame. Making sure the microphone stays in place, line up the dome with the frame. Fit the microphone through the circular mounting hole and bring the dome and frame together, lining up the keyhole slot at the top and fitting the hinged flap into its opening.
Hold the dome in place, take the top disc, locate the shorter lug marked with a triangle and align it with the fixing hole that is smaller than the others. Making sure the assembly stays together, press the six lugs on the top disc into the six holes.
Holding everything in place, carefully flip the assembly over and fit one of the plastic spacers over one of the lugs projecting through the central disc in the framework. Continue fitting spacers to all five lugs then use five 2x6mm flanged screws to secure the spacers to the top disc. Use a shorter 2x4mm flanged screw in the remaining hole which locks the dome to the framework.Carefully turn the assembly over and check that the hinged flap opens smoothly.
Now remove the six Allen screws provided this time, from their sprue. Fit the long end of the Allen key into the hexagonal head and drive screws into the correct frame holes. Their job is to apply light pressure to hold the metal panels in the dome. You will be fitting more in later Issues.
Installing the electronics.
Identify the black frame which has two round holes in it. Take the lens from Issue 1 and align the notch with the matching lug on the smaller hole in the black frame. Press the lens into the circular hole, making sure that it fits flush.
Take the processor state indicator from Issue 1and fit it over the two lugs either side of the lens, making sure the lead is on the left. Screw the processor state indicator in place using two 2.3x6mm black self-tapping screws.
Identify the hole which has the panel with two rectangular openings in it. Align the logic function displays from Issue 22, making sure the lead is on the right-hand side. Press the housing home so that the holes on each side align with the mounting lugs on the framework. Drive a 2.3x6mm black self-tapping screw into each hole to retain the displays.
Identify the large opening in the framework that has a long slot in the middle. Align the LCD screen from Issue 6, ensuring it is the correct way up. Press the screen into the slot and drive 2.5x4mm screws into the two holes to attach the screen to the metal frame.
Identify the hole to the left of the LCD screen, looking from the inside. Fit the lens from Issue 9 into the hole ensuring the tab is at the top. Secure the lens assembly with two 2.3x6mm black self-tapping screws.
