Ramsey Electronics LEAD ACID BATTERY CHARGER KIT User Manual

The enclosure is a key element to the overall pride you will have upon 
completing your Ramsey kit.  The enclosure will show how you were able to 
“build from scratch” a commercial piece of high-tech electronics.  For some of 
us, the enclosure will also hide a number of  “not-so-pretty” assembly 
mistakes.  Once the kit is enclosed, your friends will never know that you were 
new to soldering.  Finally, the enclosure case will protect your electronics from 
many possible causes of damage so that you can receive years worth of 
enjoyment using, talking about, and remembering the fun you had building 
your kit. In short, TAKE YOUR TIME when assembling the enclosure. This is 
the part that you and your friends will look at and admire for years!

1. Lay the front and rear plastic plates over their corresponding labels to 
verify which sticker goes with which panel. You’ll want to work with one 
panel at a time to avoid possible mix-ups. 

ˆ

2. Remove the backing material from one of the stickers and line it up 
properly on its pre-punched panel. Make sure that they are aligned 
correctly before allowing them to touch the plastic plates. They stick the 
first time; line them up right! 

ˆ

3. Use a sharp hobby knife to cut out the holes in the labels along the pre-
punched holes. A short sawing motion works well around the inner 
circumference of the holes. 

ˆ

4. Repeat the above steps for the other panel. 

ˆ

5. Insert the board into the case with the knobs and LED extending 
through the holes in the front panel. 

ˆ

6. Raise the rear portion of the PC board and extend the jacks through the 
rear plastic plate. Insert the plate into the grooves on the base tray. 

ˆ

7. Secure the PC board to the bottom base tray with 4 short Phillips head 
screws.
