Voluas VL001 Speaker Replacement

はじめに

If your Voluas VL001 pet feeder audio recording is distorted or is not playing when your kibble is dispensed, this has to do with your speaker. The speaker plays a voice recording of your voice so your pet recognizes when it is time to eat.

This replacement requires special skills like wire stripping and soldering.

Using your wire strippers/pliers, gently crimp the plastic insulation on the wire. Do this several times around the wire to make sure that you can pull it off.

You will want to see a score line in the insulation all around the wire like this.
Pull the end of the insulation off, exposing the wire.
