ENCLOSURE
Vectronics has designed a matching enclosure just for your Direct Conversion
Receiver Kit. The matching enclosure is an all metal box which includes knobs,
hardware, decals, and rubber feet. Enclosure model: VEC-1100KC.
To install your receiver in the VEC-1100KC matching enclosure follow these
instructions (read all instructions before beginning ... take your time):
1. Find the front panel decal that corresponds with your receiver and the rear
panel decal; separate using scissors. Put the rear panel decal on first. This is
done by: a.) Remove all debris and oil from the chassis. 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 and cut out the component holes. g.) Repeat
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 four 1/2" mounting screws next. Insert the screws, from the
bottom, through the four holes relatively close to each corner of the chassis.
4. Place the four 3/16" round spacers on the mounting screws.
5. Now insert the PC board. This must be done by: a.) Remove the nut and
washer from R1. b.) Insert the front of the PC board at an angle, c.) then
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 four hex nuts to secure the PC board. Be certain all appropriate
components are centered with the enclosure holes before tightening. Put the
washer and nut (removed from R1) back on R1 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 R1 and C19. You may need to loosen the set screw. Align
appropriately then tighten the set screw.
8. The top should now be installed. Use the two remaining 3/16" screws for
securing the top to the L-brackets.
9. Place the four rubber feet on the bottom of the enclosure at the corners.
