| SM3 3 SM3 3 ASSEMBLING THE SM3 Installing and soldering six parts on a small PC board doesn't seem like much of a task, but there is still the possibility for error, so follow our step-by-step directions and you'll be "wailing" real soon! When we say to install a part, we mean: Carefully select the right part and insert it in the PC board. Gently press it fully down to the board surface. Solder the lead wires and don't be afraid of using too much heat for a good solid connection. Clip or trim off the excess component lead wire.

| SM3 4 SM3 4 1. Orient the PC board as shown in the parts layout diagram with the five larger "pad" areas in a row along the bottom. 2. Install C2, 47 uF. Observe polarity. Electrolytic capacitors have polarity markings. Generally, capacitors will indicate the with a black stripe or arrow, while PC boards will usually show the hole. 3. Install R2, 47K (yellow-violet-orange). 4. Install C1, .01 or .02 uF. The holes for C2 are spaced far apart (you'll see why later) so just stretch C1's leads to fit. 5. Install R1, 47K (yellow-violet-orange). 6. Install Q1, green power transistor. The metal back-side ... | |

| SM3 6 SM3 6 MODIFICATIONS HIGHER VOLUME: To increase the volume level, we add a resistor in series with C1 (that's why we have the holes spaced farther apart!) Simply unsolder one end of C1 and connect to R3, 1.5K (brown-green-red) as shown: YELPING SIREN: To make your siren sound like the yelping type (and get a tired pushbutton finger, too!), change C2 from 47 uF to a smaller value such as 5 or 10 uF. Experiment with different values for the right rate. You may find extra capacitors in old radios or other devices. If need be, you can even buy them new at Radio Shack for about 69 a pair! ... | |
| SM3 7 SM3 7 COUPLING THE AUDIO OUT TO A MICROPHONE INPUT: The SM3's audio can be easily coupled into a microphone input for a PA system or radio. You only need to simulate a speaker connected and add an audio coupling capacitor. Both parts are available at Radio Shack. FINISHING TOUCHES Your siren can be easily mounted in most any handy box or enclosure. A coffee or juice can makes a dandy enclosure for speaker, battery, siren and pushbutton. Use your imagination, and see how much use and fun you can get for such a small kit investment! We hope you enjoyed this entry level Ramsey kit. Our ... | |
