Installation Instructions
1. Remove the old switches using a solder sucker / desoldering braid.
2. You will receive 2 bags containing the PCB's and Switches.
3. Don't mix up the Switches / PCB's otherwise the switches won't operate correctly. The 2 bags contain different types of switches.
4. Place the switch through the PCB making sure to align them correctly using the RED marks as a guide, they should be facing towards you.
5. Flip the Switch / PCB over and solder the 6 pins so the switch is soldered to the PCB.
6. Repeat steps 4-5 for all 6 switches.
-----------------------
7. Place the SMALL PIN ALIGNMENT BLOCK onto the PIN ALIGNMENT BLOCK STAND, Insert 4 gold pins into the holes as shown.
8. Push the PCB down onto the 4 gold pins and solder the 4 BLUE points to secure the pins to the PCB.
9. Repeat steps 7-8 for the 4 smaller switches.
-----------------------
10. Place the LARGER PIN ALIGNMENT BLOCK onto the PIN ALIGNMENT BLOCK STAND, Insert 4 gold pins into the holes as shown.
11. Push the PCB down onto the 4 gold pins and solder the 4 BLUE points to secure the pins to the PCB.
12. Repeat steps 10-11 for the 2 larger switches.
-----------------------
13. This is what you should end up with after the soldering is done.
14. Place all Switches through the Main PCB making sure you put the switches in the correct order and solder them down using the 4 pins. Once soldered, cut the excess pin length off using wire snippers.
15. Power Switch: Solder a wire from the GND point to the GND point shown in the next step.
16. Other Switches: There are 2 x 5V solder pads per switch so you can daisy chain the 5V point shown in the next step.
17. This is where you can find the GND and 5V solder points.
18. Test before full re-assembly.
19. Carefully put the top lid back on and screw back together.
20. Enjoy!
