Mounting the Hardware

Mounting the XLR Connectors

Using the bolts and nuts provided, the three XLR connectors are mounted in the three holes on the rear half of the case with the two Male XLRs mounted each side and the Female XLR in the center.  They are mounted on the inside with the flange poking through the hole.  Although this leaves less space inside to fit everything in, it does look a lot more professional than mounting them from the outside.  They should all be oriented with pins 1 & 2 furthest away from the battery compartment.

The locking nuts take a bit of fiddling to get them on.  The nylon end goes on first.  Try and grab them with the snipe nose pliers and then screw them from the other side.  The benefit of using locking nuts is that the ClipCop should never fall apart due to vibration as experienced on arduous tours!

Mounting the Hardware on the Front Half of the Case.

First lay the plastic label insert into the recessed part on the front of the case.  Now insert the LED clip through the small center hole at the top of the case.  Next insert the Green LED through the clip from the back pushing it all the way until it clicks firmly into the socket.  Be careful not to bend the legs.  The whole thing should now quite happily remain in place.

Unscrew the locking nut from each switch and mount them in an 'up down' orientation through the holes on the front plastic label insert and case either side of the LED.  The momentary action switch should mount in the hole labeled 'TEST' with the switch paddle normally up (away from the 'TEST' label).  The regular action switch mounts in the other hole marked 'ON/OFF'.  Tighten each locking nut enough to hold the switch firm but not so tight as to start buckling the plastic label insert.

Lastly, mount the piezo horn from the front in the large hole with four of the remaining self locking nuts and bolts.  As with the switches, don't over tighten the bolts so that the plastic label insert starts buckling.  It doesn't matter which way the solder lugs on the piezo horn are pointing.
