NK8035A Lighthouse Beacon Kit Installation
Connecting the NK8035A:
Installing
the NK8035A is very straightforward. Because the
module has circuitry on both sides, care must be taken to be sure that the
components or wire solder points will not make contact with any metal object which could cause a short
circuit.
This kit is
pre-wired with input power wires already connected. The red wire is for
connection to +DC and the black wire is for connection to –DC (ground). These
wires are pre-tinned for easy soldering
to your power source. Figure 1 below shows a close-up of the circuit and
wiring connections. Point 3 & 4 are the outputs that connect to the attached
LED. All wires are multi-stranded so they are very flexible allowing for easy
routing in the model.
Important
note:
A
low-wattage iron with a pointed tip should be used for connection of wires. Too
much heat or solder can easily damage the wires.
We recommend
mounting the LED from the back by attaching adhesive to the wires near the back
of the LED so adhesive is not placed directly on the LED. It is also recommended
that whatever adhesive is used that it does not contain high aggressive solvents
that could attack the insulation on the wires. Walthers Goo is an example of an
“aggressive” solvent type adhesive. Elmers white Glue, CA (superglue) and 2-part
epoxies are very safe for this type of mounting and will not damage wires or
surfaces of your model in most cases.
If the LED is
to be mounted slightly above a flat surface, we recommend cutting a narrow slot
from the edge of the surface to slide the wires into position where the LED is
to be located. Then gluing the wires min position will be very easy and hold the
LED in place while the adhesive dries.
This completes
hookup of our NK8035A Lighthouse module. We hope the added
realism it provides enhances your enjoyment of the hobby.
