All switching outputs (Out1-6) can be configured to different modes (switching, latching, flashing) and can be routed to different sounds for simultaneous action. Most common is using them for gun muzzle flashing. High power LEDs, including pre-wired cable sets, are available. TBS Mini www.benedini.de Page 4 of 11...
3. Control modes There are several control modes possible, using various TX switch functions and the appropriate Prop’X’ control inputs, with the TBS Mini Sound Unit also set to interpret the signals correctly. Encoder. Using a 12 position encoder, or multi-switch panel.
8) After teaching all positions the sound unit will beep 3 times and will revert back into normal operation mode. If you are using the switch/resistor network shown above instead of the encoder, each rotary switch position is represented by one of the push buttons. TBS Mini www.benedini.de Page 6 of 11...
You do not need to ‘teach’ the Sound unit anything for this mode. The 3pos switch RX channel must be connected to Prop2 input of the TBS Mini Prop2 input. The mode set for Prop2 in the TBS Mini must be set to “Function ½” by the TBS Flash software. The two switch positions will play: 1) The engine Start or Shutdown sound (toggles) and 2) The first sound file in the Additional Sounds list.
This mode can utilise a 3pos switch as an ‘encoder’ so that you can select ANY of the Additional Sound Files to play. The 3pos switch RX channel must be connected to Prop3 input of the TBS Mini. The mode set for Prop3 in the TBS Mini must be set to “1 Coder 2 Key”...
If you want to switch from autostart to another control mode you need to program a control channel by using TBflash and the optional programming cable! 5. Connecting an external amplifier If you want to connect an external amplifier, other than a Benedini one, please follow this schematic: Watch the ground connection !!!!
PC Please see the separate manual for the configuration software called “TBS Flash”. The manual as well as the software is available free of charge at www.benedini.de. Note: The sound unit needs to be powered from the receiver power while being used with a PC. It is NOT powered by the USB cable! 7.
