Ok, now we are ready to start the project.
	Layout all the parts on a 12" x 12" square of 3/4" plywood. Something close to the layout here will work.
	Once you are happy with the layout, screw everything down.
	Start by crimping a quick connecton on to the Black lead on the AC power cord. You will have 3 sizes of quick connectors. Match the size to the tabs on the AC fuse holder.
	Do the same thing for the Green and White wires. Chose the quick connector that fits the tabs on the AC filter. Plug the wires in as shown. You will also need a small wire that runs from the other side of the AC fuse holder to the AC filter. It should look just like the picture when you are done.
	Next, cut two black and two white wires about 8" long from the 18 Gague wires provided in the kit. Crimp quick connectors on both ends. Chose the size to fit the tabs on the switch and the AC filter. It should be the same size. This is temporary to test the board. You will not need these wires in the cab.
	Attach a White and a Black wire to the tabs on the other side of the AC filter. Run the wires to two of the tabs on the switch as shown. Attach the other White and Black wires to the other side of the switch.
	Take the loose ends of the Black and White wires and attach them to two of the bottom tabs of the AC Distribution Block.
	Next, cut two more Black and White wires long enough to reach from the AC Distribution Block to the Switching Power Supply. Crimp quick connects on one end of each wire, and spade connectors on the other. Attach the quick connects to two of the upper tabs of the AC Distribution Block. Be sure to keep the White wires together on one side, and do the same with the Black. The Switching Power Supply has two screw connections marked "AC" Attach the end of the Black wire with the spade connection to one screw, and the end of the White wire with the spade connection to the other screw.
	Cut two more Black and White wires long enough to reach from the AC Distribution Block to the Isolation Transformer. Put quick connects on all the ends. Attach one of the quick connects from each wire to the other lower tabs on the AC Distribution Block. Again, be sure that you keep the White wires on one side, and the Black wires on the other. Attach the other ends to the Lower tabs on the Isolation Transformer.
	Now we need to run a ground wire all around the components. Use Green wire, and start at the AC Filter. Use the spade connections on each end of the Green wires. The Green ground wire should run from the AC Filter to the Isolation Transformer, to the Switching Power Supply. The ground should be attached to the screws used to hold the components onto the board. Last, run a Green ground wire from the AC Filter to the switch. use the nut on the switch to clamp the wire to the switch. It needs to be secure. You may have to rig this a little, but it's only temporary.
	Closeup of the wiring around the AC Filter and AC Fuse holder.
	This is what the board should look like at this point.
	Smoke test. Before you throw the switch, remember: EVERYTHING FROM THIS POINT ON WILL BE HOT. YOU WILL GET A SERIOUS SHOCK IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL!!! Plug the AC Power cord in and throw the switch. If you get a red light on the Switching Power Supply, you are doing good. As a side note, I use the rubber handles on a couple of pliars to throw the switch for the first time, and then use the multimeter to check all the components to be sure nothing is charged where it should not be. Be careful.
	Testing Phase. Check the AC Power Cord at the AC filter. Be sure you are getting about 120 Volts in. Put one lead on the Black, one on the White.
	Do the same at the AC Distribution Block.
	And again at the top tabs of the Isolation Transformer. You want between 120 Volts and 130 Volts.
	Check that the Switching Power Supply is getting 120 Volts. Put one lead on one of the AC screws, the other lead on the other screw.
	Put one of the multimeter leads on the ground screw of the Switching Power Supply. Touch the other lead to the +5V screw. You want it to read +5 Volts. Who would have guessed?
	If it reads higher or lower that +5 Volts, use the adjustment screw on the Switching Power Supply to tweak it to +5 Volts even.
	Touch the other lead to the +12V screw. You want it to read +12 Volts. Or very close. If it does not, there may be a problem with the Switching Power Supply.
	Touch the other lead to the -5V screw. You want it to read somewhere close to -5 Volts. It probably won't be right on.
	Turn off the switch and unplug the AC Cord.
	Unplug the White and Black wires from the switch to the AC Filter and AC Distribution Block as well as the Green ground wire from the switch to the AC Filter. You will not need these wires at all anymore.
	This is the finished board. Now we are ready for step 2.
