Choosing the sample sets
The provided microSD card contains several samplesets for different vehicle types (tanks, half-tracks, ships and trucks). At delivery condition
the correct sampleset for the
ElMod 3to
is active. For another set, insert the microSD in your computer (use a suitable card reader or card
adapter) and start the file SoundManager.exe (for Microsoft
®
Windows
®
) or SoundManager.app (for MacOS
®
) from the root folder of the card.
Follow the screen instructions.
The card contains several samplesets created by third parties! We don't guarantee contence or quality of these samplesets.
RC receiver and servo connection
The
ElMod 3to
may be used either with two or three channel radio, whereby one channel
is dedicated to the steering servo. The number of connected channels is determined
automatically. For the channels' identification and the correct function all mixers in the
radio must be deactivated, the servo deflection must be to 100% and the trimming must
be centered. Please contact your dealer for support, if you have problems with the
identification and the operation of your radio with the
ElMod 3to
. In the majority of cases
the reason is detected and fixed easily by interpreting the informations delivered by the
ElMod App
. The optional channel 3 must be available as knob/slider or as a three way
switch (top-center-bottom). Otherwise not all possible functions may be used. The
ElMod
3to
supplies the receiver and the connected steering servo with power by a servoplug (5V
BEC, plug with the red/black wire), so that no receiver battery is necessary. The wire for
the signal of channel 1 and 3 must be plugged in on the receiver so that the cable on the
plug is connected with the signal bearing receiver's pin (most often the upper or inner pin
on the receiver, see image) The black wire of the red/black power supply must be connec-
ted with the ground pin (most often the lowest or furthest pin at the power supply connec-
tion of the receiver). If your receiver's connections are not protected against polarity read
the manual of the receiver to find out the pin assignment. Wrong connected plugs won't
damage the components but the receiver won't work. You can see the correct receiver's
connection at the image.
Depending on the used RC it may be necessary to customize the channels' order or rotate the servo travel. On that point please read the
manual of your radio.
Motor control (channel 1)
The starter and gas control is made by channel 1 (brown wire). After power up the engine doesn't start and the vehicle cannot be moved. To
start the engine the throttle control must be moved on top all the way to the stop and after 2-3 sec. released (see image). The starting
sequence will be activated and after playing the ignition sound the vehicle is operable.
•
for moving the vehicle forward, the throttle control must be moved up. Subsequently the vehicle moves gently.
•
is the throttle control released or is moved to the center, the vehicle slows down (engine brake)
•
is the throttle control moved in the opposite direction, the vehicle brakes (actively braking)
•
is the throttle control moved in the opposite direction all the way down, the emergency brake will be initiated.
•
if the vehicle comes to a stop and the throttle control is not released to the neutral position, it will stand still for a moment and move in the
opposite direction
•
all behavior parameters, such as maximum speed to front and back, strength of acceleration and deceleration, hold time during directional
change and many more may be adjusted by the
ElMod App
After a completed period of driving the engine may be stopped. Therefore the vehicle must stand still for at least three seconds. After that the
throttle control must must be put to the bottom quickly and back to the center. This procedure may not last longer the one second. Is the
motor started again after just a short time follows a shorter start up sequence (warm start). The time of cooling down the engine may also be
adjusted by the
ElMod App
.
Steering servo (channel 2)
On channel 2 of the receiver the steering servo is connected. A suitable servo with a current demand of max. 0.9 A and an operating voltage
of 4.8 – 6 V can be used.
