Crack Manual - corrections
«

These corrections have been made to the manuals we are burning today, which will be labeled version 5/6/10.
So the typos here will only be of concern to those who received the kits we shipped before 5/6.
Page 19 - you could change 2" wire from power trans terminal 4 to 22L at the bottom of the page to 3" and connect it to terminal 14U rather than 22L. It will work either way, but this may give a slightly lower noise floor. (This is mostly correct after 4/26 but manuals labeled 4/26/10 say mistakenly 15U rather than 14U)
Page 23 - Last instruction should read: Cut a 2"
( not 12", duh)
piece of red wire and strip both ends back 1/4". Attach and solder one end to A1
(NOT A2)
, Attach the other end to terminal 5U. (already corrected on manuals shipped after 4/26)
Page 28 - last instruction should say - Attach one end of a second 270 ohm 5W resistor to terminal 21U
(NOT 22U)
. Attach the other end of the resistor to terminal 15U. (already corrected on manuals shipped after 4/26)
Page 39 - Voltage Checks - forget about measuring terminal 19. It's not a relevant measurement. (already corrected on manuals shipped after 4/26)

Here's one more typo:
in the voltage check on page 39, Terminal 20 should read 0VDC and terminal 21 should read 206VDC
Also, these are not typos but suggested wire length adjustments - not critical but may be a little easier to install -
p.21 - instead of trimming 1" from the red wire, only trim 1/2"
p. 26 - red wire from transformer terminal 9 to T19L - cut 2" long rather than 1-1/2"
p.31 - red wire from B2 to T2L - cut 4" long rather than 3-1/2"
