First
it requires
no
zero control;
second,
only
low
current can
flow,
even with
a
short circuit.
Choice

Si, be sure that the
correct ter-
minals are used on each section.
Also
be
sure that
Dl is
wired
in correctly. If you
use
the Motorola
diode
called for
in
the
parts
list,
the black band should
be to-
ward J3. Unlike
a conventional
diode,
if
the constant
-current
diode is installed
with
the
wrong polarity,
it
will conduct
heavily
and ruin
both itself
and the me-
ter.
