Top Cover

Even if you have the KPA3 100-watt module to install, install the top cover and speaker at this time for initial
testing and calibration of the basic 10-watt K3 configuration.

Connect the speaker cable to P25 of the KIO3 board as shown in Figure 94. If you have the KPA3 shield

installed, route the speaker wire under the stiffener bar.

Figure 94. Connecting Speaker to KIO3 Board.

Place the top cover on the K3 with the tab at the rear extending under the lip of the rear panel. Secure the

top cover with six 4-40 3/16” (4.8 mm) black flat head screws (SS) along the front and rear edges of the cover.
You may find it necessary to loosen screws at the top of the side, front and rear panels to adjust their position so
the top cover fits properly.
