Note: Installation of the module requires intermediate to advanced modeling skills. Soldering skills are required to connect the wiring. Inexperienced modelers and persons under 16 should seek the assistance of an experienced modeler. instructions TVC-TRF-10-MBT_V2.odm Seite 2 von 29 Stand 13.10.11...

Overview: This module will provide the following functions: proportional drive motor control with mixing • proportional turret rotation with servo output and speed control • proportional barrel elevation with servo output and speed control • cannon fire and recoil with strobe LED flash and servo output •...
Page 4
Function: A proportional radio transmitter is required. It needs at least four channels and max. six channels. The channels 5 and 6 can be plugged optional. The functions of the channels are as follows: Channel 1 - Proportional left/right with integrated V-mixer. The integrated mixer slows the inside track to a full stop.
Page 5
To to this it is obvious, that you need receivers with the same channel crystals. When using 2.4GHz receivers, they must be bound to the same transmitter. The use of this channel is optional. Connection of the servo wires at the receiver channe connector optional...

Automatic functions: Cannon: When the cannon is fired, the following actions take place: the sound of the main gun is played – the gun flash LED output is switched for about. 200milliseconds – the gun motor output is switched for about. 800Milliseconds. This –...

automatic engine stop: In case the radio is unoperated for about 2 minutes, the modul turns off the engine and plays the engine stop sound. Additional the exhaust simulation is switched off. (parking mode) To wake the modul, just move the throttle stick, then the engine startup sound will be played and all functions are available again.
Page 8
Automatic functions: Exhaust simulation module: The module will control a liquid smoke heater and pump/fan . The smoke liquid heater is switched on when the model receives a valid radio signal. The outputs for the blowers and pump are operated as a function of acceleration and speed.
Installation: Before installing the model it is best to connect the components on the workbench. Familiarize yourself with the operation of the components. Pay particular attention to the maximum travel of the servos. You do not have to connect all loads. For basic operation it is sufficient to power the modul and to connect all servo inputs that are not „optional“...
Page 10
connection of the servo inputs to the receiver (X50 to X57): The connection to the receiver is made using patch cables. One side is plugged into the modul and one side is connected to the receiver. If the delivered cables does not match the length needed, they can simply be replaced by longer or shorter versions.
Page 11
connection of the motors (X20 and X21): The motors that are connected to X20 and X21 leave the upper contact unconnected. connection of the switch outputs X10 to X17: The switch outputs are used for light- simple motor functions. outputs are switched to ground (blue and grey).
Page 12
Connection of batteries cable: The connection is made with the green contact block. The connector is (X60). It is a good practice to install a switch between battery and the battery cable shown with polarity power connector. For your convenience you can choose our cable set 3013.
Page 13
Connection of drive motors: The drive motors are attached to X01 and X02 at the black plug in connectors. The motors must be properly radio-interference-suppressed (install capacitors if required). The motor outputs are marked so that when connecting the motor to +, the corresponding chain run in forward direction.

Connect the turret and cannon elevation motor/servos: the turret rotation motor can be plugged to X21. the cannon elevation motor can be plugged to X20. The motor must be connected to the indicated terminals as per the illustration. In addition to these 2 motor outputs the Module provides 2 servo outputs for turret rotation (X42) and cannon elevation (X41).
Page 15
Connecting the speaker: The speaker connects at the brown 2 pole connector (X70) in the center of the board. We recommend a 4 ohm speaker. An 8 or 16 ohm speaker may be used but this will result in reduced sound volume. The volume may be adjusted at the potentiometer (V1) directly below the connector.
Page 16
Connection of lighting and exhaust systems: The lighting and exhaust system outputs are at battery voltage. Devices must be suitable for that voltage. If LED's are used appropriate resistors must be installed. These outputs can switch inductive loads such as relays.

Function of the light mode control There are two light modes light mode 1 and light mode 2. Lightmode 1 for auxillary output 1 and 2. They can be used for combat light, beam light or any other consumer. The lightmode 1 is changed by tipping the stick forward. The mode is count up , 1 →...

When the model is switched off by the model selector channel, all light states are unchanged.

When connecting LED, please use suitable resistors. In the diagram below the correct way to calculate the resistor value is show. In any case you should connect the quite common resistors delivered with the modul. Note: Please never connect LED without resistor to the modul. This will destroy the LED and/or the modul.

Initialization: turn on the transmitter. • connect the battery. • all control sticks and trims must be centered. • turn on the receiver. The LED lights for approximately 1 second. • the speed controls sense center point of the channels and the LED •...

Connecting the Battleunit The full option modul supports the connection of the infrared battlesystem TVC-BU12 or TVC-HRF-BU. The battle system is compatible to the battlesystem of Tamiya Inc. The battlesystem TVC-BU12 is combined from two parts, an infrared-transmitter- unit and a socket for the infrared receiver (mushroom).

and mount them e.g. near the air inlet. The visual effect is very good, and there is an optical hit indication in addition to the acoustic. Depending on the type of model, it reacts differently to the fire of other models.
Page 24
Mode indicator: LED 3 (green) on the module indicates the hit status. If the vehicle is damaged, LED flashes five times. Once the vehicle was destroyed and the repair time is running, the LED flashes four times. In invulnerable state, the LED flashes six times. Resetting the damage grade: As described above, the model ill get limited in its mobility by enemy fire.
Changing the sound The module is delivered with a sound. So changing the sound is optional. If you want to change the sound, you need a PC, the FMC software and a USB/Scalebus interface (USB-IF-FMC). connection: The FO-modul is connected via the Scalebus with the interface module USB-IF-FMC to the PC.

practical tips: neutral position Please use a self centering type joystick or a three stage switch for mode selection. Use of a non self centering stick will result in problems with mode selection due to imprecise neutral position selection. failsafe receiver The module calibrates the neutral position of the channels every time you turn on power.
