Installation, Maintenance, Repair, and Design of HiViz Circuits
In earlier blog entries, I described how I will be learning to install, maintain, repair, and design solar power systems. It just occurred to me that I’m doing exactly that with our little HiViz circuits. Since HiViz is my longest-held job (since 2004 and counting), there must be something about working with the circuits that I enjoy. I’m thinking perhaps it is the installation, maintenance, repair, and design work.
Installing Components
Every HiViz circuit is assembled on a breadboard from individual components that are kept in parts cabinets. I have to take the parts out, snip off the legs to the required length, and install them in their proper location on the breadboard in order to make a complete circuit. Joining the parts are wires that I also have to measure out to the correct length, and then I install those on the breadboard. The circuit requires inputs and outputs which come in the form of components connected to cables; I assemble those and install those on the breadboard also. Read more…
