MonoWave(X) Build Guide
Displa PCB Assembl (3D Model)
Refer to the PCB overlay and cut the track on the topside to P114_1 (this should already be done
in the factory).
Install all components except the 8x pushbutton switches, P120, 3x LEDs and 1x LCD plus header.
We recommend placin all the pots in to place without solderin . Then place the Front Panel over
the controls to ensure that all the pots are correctly ali ned on the Display PCB. Carefully turn the
assembly over and solder the pots in to place.
Repeat with the 2x rotary switches. Check that the switch stops are correctly located in the ‘STOP
5’ position and secure usin the nuts supplied. The nuts for these are purely to secure the ‘STOP’
plate and are not used to secure the switches to the panel.
Install P120 and check that the front set of le s on P120 are not touchin the rear set of le s. Once
satisfied, solder in to place.
Refer to the PCB overlay and fit a wire link between P114_1 and C2_1.
To help reduce the cost of the MonoWave (X) we are no lon er usin push-button switches fitted
with ‘V-brackets’.
Install but do not solder the 8x switches, ensurin that the markin s ‘C NO NO’ are visible at the
front (nearest bottom ed e of the Display PCB), and carefully offer the PCB up to the front panel.
With the panel sittin squarely to the pots (you mi ht like to fit 2 or 3 nuts to ensure the panel
remains in place) raise each switch one by one and fit a nut to the switch. Do the nut up so that it is
JUST flush with the top of the panel, the le s of the switches should still be in the Display PCB and
should finish flush with the bottom of the Display PCB. Repeat for the other 7 switches. Turn the
assembly over and rest on a suitable support to allow easy fin er access to the switches. Start at
the switches furthest from you, push a switch up until the le s are in their Display PCB locations
and the switch nut is firmly a ainst the panel. Solder tack the middle pin of the switch and repeat
for the other 7x switches. Check that all switches are suitably mounted and then solder all the
remainin le s, and finish off by reflowin the tacked centre le s.
Install the LCD as follows:-
1. Install the 4x 8mm spacers usin the 4x M2.5x16mm bolts.
2. Install, but do not solder, the header for LCD1.
3. Install LCD1 and secure usin the 4x M2.5 Nuts.
4. Check that the header is seated properly on the Display PCB and solder in to place startin
with the pads on the LCD and then movin to the pads on the Display PCB
Fit the lens mounts to the Front Panel. Install, but do not solder, the 3x LEDs.
Turn the assembly over and position the LEDs in to their respective mounts. Solder in to place.
We recommend fittin the front panel to the enclosure BEFORE mountin the Panel PCB to allow
easier access to the securin bolts.
