The following advice is only for those who know how to wire mains rated equipment safely. If you do not know how to do this then make no attempt to do so. I do not endorse this method of powering any Oakley equipment. It is up to you to use your PCB wisely. I take absolutely no responsibility for your actions with this board. I will offer no further advice than what you see below in italics:

Transformer rating: Secondaries: 12-0-12 @ 250mA or 12-0, 12-0 @ 6VA total

Connect common, or centre tap of, secondaries to AC2. Secondary winding end wires go to AC1 and AC3 respectively.

Line fuse: T250mA

The metal case MUST be earthed to safety earth via a suitably low resistance bonding strap or wire.

It is advisable also to connect this safety earth to a spare GND pad on the 3031, or pin 2 on the tbDAC’s M-THRU header. This can be done via a wire link or a 1K resistor.

Using the tbDAC

The tbDAC is a midi-CV convertor that was especially designed to interface with the TB3030. The new 3031 is even more suited to this interface thanks to clearer legending and simpler tuning set up.

You’ll need to first build the tbDAC as detailed in its own User Guide. There will be references in the tbDAC User Guide that will refer to the TB3030 and the 3031. The TB3030 is subtlety different to the 3031 in its output and input connections. Thus references to the input and output pads of the TB3030 in the tbDAC User Guide are not applicable to the 3031. For the 3031, all your interconnection information is given below.

Fit the tbDAC board in side the same box as your 3031. In my prototype I fitted the tbDAC card on left hand side of the enclosure, just above the 3031 PCB. This gives space for the mains transformer, if you are fitting one, on the right hand side at the back of the case.

With insulated hook up wire connect the following pads on the tbDAC to the appropriate pads on the 3031 PCB.

This balance of strength and weight is essential for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts who require eyewear that can keep up with their demanding lifestyles.

The lens technology in the Oakley 3031 is another highlight. Utilizing Oakley's proprietary HDO (High Definition Optics) technology, the lenses provide crystal-clear vision and minimize distortion. This is particularly important for activities such as cycling, running, or skiing, where clarity can impact performance and safety. The lenses also come with UV protection, blocking harmful rays to safeguard the eyes during prolonged exposure to sunlight.

Additionally, the Oakley 3031 features Oakley’s Prizm lens technology, which enhances color contrast and visibility in various environments. This innovative lens tinting technique allows users to see fine details and improve depth perception, making it perfect for sports or outdoor adventures in varied lighting conditions.

Comfort is a crucial aspect of any eyewear, and the Oakley 3031 excels in this area as well. The model is equipped with adjustable nose pads and temples that ensure a secure fit while preventing slippage during intense activities. Moreover, the frame's design is tailored to offer maximum ventilation, reducing fogging and enhancing breathability.

Style does not take a back seat in the Oakley 3031. Available in a range of colors and lens options, wearers can select a look that complements their personal aesthetic while still enjoying high-performance features. This versatility makes the Oakley 3031 suitable not just for sports but also for casual wear.

In conclusion, the Oakley 3031 is a top-tier eyewear choice that seamlessly integrates style, comfort, and advanced technology. Whether you’re hitting the trails or navigating everyday life, the Oakley 3031 ensures that your vision remains sharp and your eyes protected, making it a must-have accessory for anyone with an active lifestyle.
