Assembly and Operating Instructions for HiViz Kits

 

Parts for the PCB conversion for the Multi-Trigger breadboard enclosure (MTEconv)

 

Assembly instructions for other kits

 

Parts Guide (MTEconv)

 

The MTE conversion kit provides the additional parts you need to convert a working Multi-Trigger Enclosure with breadboard to a Multi-Trigger Enclosure with PCB.

• The column "PCB Label" gives the labels imprinted on the PCB for the corresponding part.
• The X's in the column "Part from existing Multi-Trigger assembly" are those parts that you should already have and will move from the breadboard to the PCB.
• The X's in the column "New part provided in conversion kit" are the additional parts that you'll need. As you can see, there aren't many.
• If there is no X in either column, then the part is not used in the conversion.

Connectors, Cables, and Wire

Click here for replacement cable and wire and here for replacement connectors.

 

Most of these parts were provided either as part of your original Multi-Trigger Enclosure or your Multi-Trigger breadboard kit. You will have already used the parts to prepare your cables and wire your enclosure. Some additional wire and self-grip Velcro straps are provided in the conversion kit.
