🔧 LumiFrame Duo – Complete Assembly Instructions

(with LX-2BUPS & Dual USB-C charging ports, battery holders, 2x 2-Pin angled USB-C connectors)

⚠️ Important Safety Notice:

Assembly involves lithium-ion batteries, soldering, and electrical wiring. Attempt this only if you are experienced and know what you are doing. If in doubt, please seek assistance from a qualified person to avoid injury or damage.

Components:

• Printed parts of the LumiFrame Duo frame
• LED board (for insertion)
• Two 18650 lithium-ion batteries (in holders on the LX-2BUPS, no soldering required)
• LX-2BUPS battery protection and charging board with USB-C input/output
• Two USB-C charging ports, mounted on the underside of the frame
• 2x 2-Pin angled USB-C connectors
• Switch
• Wires, soldering tools, hot glue
• 12x 6x3mm magnets (6 for the lid, 6 for the frame)

Assembly & Wiring Steps:

1. Prepare Printed Parts
Clean and adjust all parts, including the USB-C charging ports on the underside.

2. Secure Components in Frame
Securely attach the LX-2BUPS board, the switch, and the USB-C charging ports within the frame.
Plan and route the wires so they are not damaged or pinched during assembly.

3. Solder USB-C Charging Ports to LX-2BUPS (Important: Observe correct polarity!)
Solder the two USB-C charging ports on the underside directly to the +5V and –5V pads of the LX-2BUPS board.
⚠️ Pay attention to correct polarity to avoid damage or malfunctions!
These ports serve as the charging port for the batteries.

4. Wire USB-C Ports with 2x 2-Pin Angled USB-C Connectors (Power Supply for LED Board)

• Solder a wire from the UPS+ output of the LX-2BUPS board to one pole of the switch.
• From the other pole of the switch, solder wires to the positive (+) wires of both 2-Pin angled USB-C connectors.
• Solder the UPS- output of the LX-2BUPS board directly to the negative (–) wires of both connectors.
• These connectors will later be plugged directly into the LED board.

5. Insert LED Board
Slide the LED board into the frame; screws or glue are not necessary.

6. Insert Batteries into Holders
Insert the two protected 18650 batteries into the holders on the LX-2BUPS board – no soldering required.

7. Final Step – Connect Power Supply to the LED Board
Plug the 2x 2-Pin angled USB-C connectors into the power connections of the LED board.

8. Charge & Test
Charge the batteries by plugging a USB-C charger into one of the two USB-C ports on the underside.
Use the slide switch to turn the LED board on and off and check functionality.

9. Final Assembly
Mount 12x 6x3mm magnets:

• Place 6 magnets evenly on the lid.
• Attach 6 magnets to the corresponding positions on the frame to magnetically secure the lid.

Important Notes:

• ⚠️ This project involves batteries and soldering. Only proceed if you have experience. Otherwise, please seek expert assistance.
• Correct polarity when soldering the USB-C charging ports and power cables is crucial.
• Batteries are inserted into holders – no soldering to the batteries is necessary.
• The slide switch controls the power supply to the LED board and prevents unnecessary battery drain.
• Only plug in the USB-C cables of the LED board in the final step to avoid damage.
