Assembly
HINT: the function of all connectors is printed on the back side of the PCB!
Power supply
Solder the loose ends of the power supply cable to a battery connector that fits to your battery type. Use the included shrinking tube to
insulate the soldered wires.
Warning! The use of the switch and fuse is mandatory! Fire hazard when disregarded!
Chain motors
Connect the ESC of your choice to the connector 3 and 4. The minus pole shows to the lower edge of the board.
To check the correct wiring of the motors perform the following procedure:
•
Jack the tank up, so that the chains can move freely.
•
Attach a full charged battery to the power supply connector and switch the electronics on.
•
Wait 3 - 4 seconds and press the push button (5).
•
The chains start to move. They change the running direction every 4 seconds. Release the button when both chains move forwards and
the light chain runs faster than the left one.
•
Go ahead with the installation when the motors run in described manner.
Turret elements
Connect the white 8-pin turret plug to the corresponding connector.
•
If using the genuine HengLong
®
LED muzzle flash, attach it's cables (a 5-wire and a 2-wire cable) to the board.
•
If using the genuine AsiaTam
®
turret mechanics and high voltage muzzle flash, proceed as described in the
manual of the units.
•
If using the genuine Tamiya
®
recoil unit, attach it to the corresponding connector on the board. The white cable
faces the edge of the board.
•
Servo motors are connected as shown on the picture.
•
Additional light sources may be connected to the plugs 13 to 16. They provide about 50mA each and are
designed to drive one to four LEDs.
