ENCLOSURE
Vectronics has designed a matching enclosure just for your VEC-1002K 2 Meter
FM Receiver Kit. The matching enclosure is an all metal box which includes
knobs, hardware, decals, and rubber feet. Model: VEC-1000KC.
To install your receiver in the VEC-1000KC matching enclosure follow these
instructions (read all instructions before beginning ... take your time):
1. Find the front panel decal and rear panel decal; separate using scissors. Be sure to leave
excess decal material around the edges. Put the rear panel decal on first. This is done
by: a.) Remove all debris and oil from the chassis. This should be done using a piece of
cloth and alcohol. b.) Remove the crack and peel to expose the adhesive. c.) Place the
decal on the rear panel without securing it completely. d.) Gently rub the alignment
circles with your finger--if the circles are centered in the enclosure holes (also check the
corner alignment marks) secure the decal by rubbing and removing all air bubbles. e.) If
the alignment circles are not centered, adjust the decal accordingly, then secure. f.) Use a
penknife, or small Exacto
TM knife, to cut away the unused edges (cut from the adhesive
side) and cut out the component holes (cut from the description side). g.) Repeat this
procedure for the front panel.
2. Next, install the two L-brackets on the chassis using two of the 3/16" screws. The longer
side of the L-bracket must be connected to the chassis using the two holes centered on
each edge of the enclosure. Refer to the diagram on the next page for location and
orientation.
3. Install the two 1/2" mounting screws next. Insert the screws, from the bottom, through
the two holes relatively close to each rear corner of the chassis.
4. Place the two 3/16" round spacers on the mounting screws.
5. Now insert the PC board. This must be done by: a.) Remove the nuts and washers from
R6, R10, and R16. b.) Insert the front of the PC board at an angle so the controls enter
their respective holes. c.) Push down on the rear of the board. Make sure the mounting
screws align with the mounting holes in the PC board before pushing.
6. Use the two hex nuts to secure the PC board. Be certain all appropriate components are
centered with the enclosure holes before tightening. Put the washers and nuts--removed
from R6, R10, and R16--back on and tighten.
7. Find the knobs and switch cap. Align the switch cap with SW1 and push it on. If it is
difficult to push on, then rotate it 90° and try again. Now put the knobs on R6, R10, and
R16. You may need to loosen the set screw. Align appropriately then tighten the set
screws.
8. Locate the piece of double-sided tape. This is to be used for holding the 9-volt battery
clip in place. Locate a place on the underside of the top cover where the battery will not
interfere with any components. Peel off the backing of the tape and stick it to the chosen
location, then install the battery clip.
9. Install the top next. Use the two remaining 3/16" screws for securing the top to the L-
brackets. Make sure the L-brackets are aligned properly.
10. Finally, place the four rubber feet on the bottom of the enclosure at the corners.
