Assembly and connection
Please read the following text carefully!
• Connect connector 1, all other ThinkTank modules and the BEC-supply, when existend, with
the EMNet cable A
• Connect volume control B with connector 2
• Connect the speaker with cable C to connector 3. If you ordered the blaster with a speaker it
will already be delivered with the cable.
• Leave all jumpers closed to activate the standard set of samples for the tiger tank.
• When you install the cirquit board, make sure no short cirquits can occur.
• A second mounting hole is placed below the CPU PCB.
Initiation
It is essential for proper function of the module that the tank itself and all other modules are
installed correctly!
• Make sure all cables have been installed correctly.
• Make sure that all jumpers are put in the right possition and that the SD card is well fixed.
• Put in a full charged battery and switch on the tank.
• The power LED starts blinking uniformly for a short time as soon as the connection with the
other modules is established.
