Mounting Bracket for FolgerTech FT-6 Buck Converter. Requires: • Soldering skills • (2) M3x12 screws, used to secure bracket to ACM panel • (2) M3x6 button head screws, used to attach buck converter to bracket • (2) M3 Nyloc nuts You can skip the need for M3x12's and Nyloc nuts by using double-sided adhesive tape that comes with the machine to mount the bracket to the ACM panel while still utilizing it. Basic Steps: • Decide where to install the buck converter, considering wire lengths. • Use the bracket as a template to mark the desired mounting location on the ACM panel, drilling hexagon nut holes. • Remove plug wires from the buck converter. • Feed loose plug wires through the front side of the bracket, one of the wire slots, and re-solder them inward to prevent interference with the bracket and the buck converter. • De-solder power lead wires and re-solder them inward to prevent wire interference between the bracket and the buck converter. • Feed power lead wires through the front side of the bracket from the buck converter. • Insert two M3 Nyloc nuts into the hexagon-shaped holes, ensuring a snug fit. • Carefully screw the buck converter to the bracket using two M3x6 screws (do not over-tighten). • Guide wires out the ends of the bracket through provided channels and install the bracket on the ACM panel with two M3x12 screws, engaging the Nylocs inside while being careful not to pinch wires between the bracket and the ACM panel or screws.
