Hi, just bought the bottlehead crack for my HD800S, the kit hasn't arrived yet, but I just read through the downloadable manual/instructions. Just have a couple of questions coming from somebody who has no experience in soldering/electronics.
1. On page 22 of the manual, bottom part, it says to test the switch with my meter? I assume that's the multi-meter? (I bought a china made fluke). I'm assuming I should use the red and black leads of the multi-meter.. where should I stick the red lead to and where should I stick the black lead to "test" the switch? The manual says it should read low resistance in the "on" position and overlimit (what's overlimit?) in the "off" position. And where should I turn my fluke to on the middle dial? (the dial reads V, then another V with dashed lines above it, mV, an ohm sign, a sign which looks like horizontal T's, A, mA and A with a symbol beside it), on another note, where should I connect my black and red leads to on the multi-meter, it has 4 sockets, 2 red sockets on the left that says A (10A fused) and mA (4oomA fused), then a black socket labelled COM (1000V CatII, 600V Cat III) and another red socket on the rightmost labelled V with an ohm sign.
2. on page 23, should I use the alligator clip-on probes and then attach it to the leads of my multi-meter, then connect black lead to N of the IEC inlet and then the red to L on the IEC inlet?
3. Is the manual serious about electric shocks that could stop a heart? I thought this was an easy assembly, not downright fatal. should I wear rubber gloves or something? wear rubber shoes?
Anyway, thanks in advance to whoever replies. Sorry for the newbie-like post.
