We congratulate you on your purchase of the
innovative full-option-solution for military trucks of the 3 tons category.
With the
ElMod 3to
you enhance your model by prototypical
movement sequences, extensive lighting options combined with
simple installation. The free available
customization of the electronics' behavior on the individual conditions
of your vehicle. Therefore more than 100 different settings may be
taken conveniently on a Windows
upgradeability, ongoing improvements and software developments
you have acquired a future oriented product whereby you will have
fun for a long time and which meets the highest demands of an
ambitious model builder.
The
ElMod 3to
provides the following key features:
• Drive
a 10A (20A peak current) short circuit and overload protected driver for a DC motor for the truck's engine
ElMod physics engine 2.0: a realistic driving experience of commanding a truck by simulation of mass inertia. Acceleration,
deceleration, maximum speed, gear shift and many other properties are simulated
all parameters of the physics engine are adjustable with the
steering: a common servo is directly connected with the receiver
• Lighting
three lighting channels: front lights, combined rear lights with brake light, blackout light
the lighting may be remotely switched on and off (front lights and rear lights on, blackout light on, all lights off)
the brightness of each light channel can be individually adjusted by the
for each light one or two LEDs may be connected without further effort, no external resistors or other parts are necessary.
the light connection is short circuit protected. The LEDs can't be damaged by false polarity
color-coded cables with polarity reversal protection are included
• Sounds
integrated, polyphone sound unit plays several different sounds simultanously
various sound events: several motor start sounds with distinction between cold start and warm start, several engine off sounds.
Engine sounds for the movement with simulated gear change. Optional collateral driving noises such as chassis squeal and optional
surrounding noises. Up to three sounds that can be triggered anytime by the user, for example a horn
seperate volume control of every sound type and extensive configuration of the sound parameters with the
all provided samplesets are on an included and ready-to-use microSD card.
integrated 1W audio amplifier for the connection of a 8 Ohm loudspeaker
• control with a common RC gear (radio and receiver, 40 MHz or 2.4 GHz) with at least two channels (acceleration and steering). An
optional third channel can be used for light control and for triggering user defined sounds. The receiver doesn't need an additional battery.
• operation with NiCd-, NiMh- or LiPo-Batteries with a voltage between 7.2 V and 8.4 V. Under voltage shut down for protection against
deep discharge.
• compact dimensions (67 mm x 40 mm; 2,6" x 1,6") permit installation in small-sized spaces
The following requirements must be met:
• a common 40 MHz or 2.4 GHz RC-gear with at least two channels. To be able to use all functions a three channels radio and receiver are
required.
• an appropriate high current-compliant battery (6- or 7-cells NiCd, NiMh or a 2S LiPo)
• a suitable counter part for the battery connector with at least 0,5 mm² gauge
• a steering servo (max. current 0,9 A)
• interference suppressed DC motor for the main drive
• Any type and color for the vehicle's lighting
• an 8 Ohm speaker with at least 1 W for the sound rendering

    The undervoltage shut down causes deactivation of all functions of the ElMod 3to. In this case the front light and the status LED L1 blink once every 5 seconds. Using any other battery type as listed here proper function is not guaranteed. By using batteries with higher voltage the warranty is void!
  • Page 3 Should this not work within max. 10 sec. see section „status LED“ for advice. • Press and hold the test button for sound unit S2. A sound is played and the status LED L2 starts flickering. After repressing the S2 key © ElMod - 20-01-02...
  • Page 4 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.
  • Page 5 1 Please check if your RC and receiver work. Check the correct function with a servo or the ElMod App. 2 If this error doesn't disappear after a restart, please contact your dealer for support.
  • Page 6 Make sure that no wires, solder joints or other components are in contact with the metal surfaces. A damage resulting of incorrect installation lead to losing of warranty claim. Installation of the ElMod App With the help of the free ElMod App it is possible to customize the electronics to your needs.
  • Page 7 Configuration and tweaking For configuration of the 3to unit the ElMod App must be connected with connector 4. Turn on the PCB's power supply and start the ElMod software suite. The ElMod 3to Truck will be found within just a few seconds and the current settings will be listed. For further information about every parameter move the cursor to the parameter's name and wait 1 or 2 seconds.
