Assembly instructions of the tube pcb V1.08f – IN-8-2 Blue Dream www.nixiekitworld.com 1 Board V1.08f "IN-8-2 Blue Dream" 1. Table of contents: • tube board V1.08f "IN-8-2 Blue Dream" • 6 anode resistors for the tubes (R08-R13) Value: 6.8 kΩ • 6 resistors for LEDs (R51-R56) Values of these resistors: blue LEDs: 330 Ω ocean green LEDs: 150 Ω purple LEDs: 100 Ω dark green, white and rainbow LEDs: the correct value is supplied automatically with the LEDs by us • Switch (S3) • Switch cap for switch S3 This board was developed in cooperation with www.noctrotec.com and fits for our "Nixie Universal Kit V1.08". It is designed for 6 IN-8-2 Nixie tubes and 6 LEDs. After completion the board is connected to the universal PCB by pin connectors in sandwich method. Nocrotec.com supplies 6 tested, datecode and optically matched IN-8-2 tubes. 2. Soldering the resistors First solder all resistors to the circuit board, as shown in the picture. Pay attention, that the resistors lie flat on the board. Then cut off the wires on the other side of the board. 3. Soldering the LEDs Straighten a wire with diameter of Ø1 mm and clamp it to the pcb as shown in the picture: Insert the LEDs from the top (where the tubes are, later). The LEDs have an anode and a cathode. The anode is the long contact of the LED. On the board you will see the designation "A" and "K", which must match LEDs contacts. Press the LED firmly and straight onto the wire, and then solder them so, that there is a distance of 1 mm from LED to PCB. Short soldering times are important, since the LEDs are heat sensitive.

Board V1.08f "IN-8-2 Blue Dream"
1. Table of contents: • tube board V1.08f "IN-8-2 Blue Dream" • 6 anode resistors for the tubes (R08-R13) Value: 6.8 kΩ • 6 resistors for LEDs (R51-R56)
Values of these resistors: blue LEDs: 330 Ω ocean green LEDs: 150 Ω purple LEDs: 100 Ω dark green, white and rainbow LEDs: the correct value is supplied automatically with the LEDs by us
• Switch (S3) • Switch cap for switch S3
This board was developed in cooperation with www.noctrotec.com and fits for our "Nixie Universal Kit V1.08". It is designed for 6 IN-8-2 Nixie tubes and 6 LEDs. After completion the board is connected to the universal PCB by pin connectors in sandwich method. Nocrotec.com supplies 6 tested, datecode and optically matched IN-8-2 tubes. 2. Soldering the resistors
First solder all resistors to the circuit board, as shown in the picture. Pay attention, that the resistors lie flat on the board. Then cut off the wires on the other side of the board.
3. Soldering the LEDs Straighten a wire with diameter of Ø1 mm and clamp it to the pcb as shown in the picture:
Insert the LEDs from the top (where the tubes are, later). The LEDs have an anode and a cathode. The anode is the long contact of the LED. On the board you will see the designation "A" and "K", which must match LEDs contacts. Press the LED firmly and straight onto the wire, and then solder them so, that there is a distance of 1 mm from LED to PCB. Short soldering times are important, since the LEDs are heat sensitive.

Now pull out the wire. The board should look like this:
4. Solder the Micro Pin Receptacles
Insert the micro pin receptacles from the labelled side of the pcb. A good tip is to place the pcb on a wooden board, fix it und turn it. We use a woollen cloth glued to the board. This ensures to press the pin receptacles down perfectly:
Solder the pin receptacles and remove the wooden board.

5. Soldering the IN-8-2 Nixie tubes Cut the wires of the Nixie tubes like a spiral staircase. That means you shorten the length of the wires spiral staircase-like (see picture right).
Take care that the gap of the wire circle on the tube matches the gap at the pad circle of the pcb. Insert the Nixie tubes from the unlabeled side of the PCB board, align the tubes precisely, let the base of the Nixie tubes lie on the LEDs and solder them to the board. Make sure to solder the tube axes right-angled to the board. The tubes cannot be aligned after soldering!
6. Solder the switch Snap on the cap to the switch plunger. Place the switch into the holes from the labelled side of the board, align it right-angled and solder it. (see picture on the right)
7. Solder the wires for the LED power Solder 2 wires of about 30mm at the labelled side of the board.

Solder the wires to the clock board as shown:
8. Screwing the tube pcb with the clock pcb Plug the 2 boards together carefully und screw them together using the M3x4 pan head screws. ATTENTION: Do not press the boards together too much! There must be a distance of 5mm between the boards – also, where the pin connectors are!
9. Function test
Now you can perform a short function test and enjoy the great look of the clock. Attention: do not touch anything while the power supply is connected.
