ElMod ThinkTank Tank Module Instructions For Assembly And Handling page 2

Connect the BEC-cable and the channel lines 1 to 4 (or 1 to 6 for six-channel operation) to your
receiver. The plugs fit for most brands of receivers but they are not protected against polarity re-
versal. Check the manual for the information which pin carries the servo signal. If the plugs are
connected amissly, the receiver won't work.
Depending on the receiver it may be necessary to adjust the channel order or swap its movement
direction. Check the manual of your radio for details.
Jumper settings
The tank model is determined by the jumpers 1 to 3 (on - jumper set, off - jumper removed):
J1 J2 J3 Description
on on on User defined (only when ThinkTank Configurator is
used)
off on on German, WW2, plastic gearbox
on off on German, WW2, metal gearbox
off off on German, WW2, 3:1 reduction gearbox
on on off US, WW2, plastic gearbox
off on off US, WW2, metal gearbox
on off off T-34
off off off Fun tank
Jumper 4 has no function yet and is reserved for future use.
Jumper 5 and 6 determine the used type of barrel recoil mechanics. Please consult our website
for detailed information about the wiring.
J5 J6
on on No recoil mechanics
off on Tamiya compatible recoil mechanics
on off WSN-T34 recoil mechanics
off off Use of servo motor 2 for barrel recoil
Operation state LEDs
A red and a green LED display the current operational state of the Tank Module
on
Power-LED (green)
short blinking
Error-LED (red) blinks
* no connection to the sender or the transmission path between sender and receiver is disturbed.
Please check the wiring and the proper function of the RC radio and receiver. If necessary check
the operability of the RC equipment with a servo.
If additional ThinkTank modules are attached via EMNet-Link and the power-LED blinks per-
manently with the error-LED, the data transfer between the modules is disturbed. In this case
please contact our support for assistance.
• Make sure that all connections are well fixed and that no conductive parts can touch each
other.
• Switch on the remote control and the tank in this order.
• The green power-LED lights, the red error-LED blinks 1-2 (searching for a valid receiver signal)
times and stays off.
• Move the left or right stick a little and watch the power-LED. It blinks once every time the sticks
are moved out of their neutral position. The electronics is operable now.
Description
Module is operational
Stick movement detected
No valid signal from receiver*
First run
Normally, no parts should generate excessive heat. If you notice any abnormal overheating imme-
diately switch off the power and check the following list:
• is the wiring correct and no short circuits is detectable?
• is the gearbox smooth-running?
• Are the motors properly surpressed (two capacitors between each motor terminal and the
motor housing and a third capacitor between the motor terminals)?
The Tank Module features several braking modes:
Motor brake
Put the lever in neutral position. move the stick to opposite
Rolling out
Turret functions, 4-channel operation
The control of the light group and the tower unit is carried out as follows (left stick):
è Rotate turret right
ç Rotate turret left
é Lift cannon (half deflection)
ê Lift cannon in opposite direction (half deflection)
Turret functions, 6-channel operation
The control of the light group and the tower unit is carried out as follows:
Left stick
è Rotate turret right é Shot
ç Rotate turret left ê Machine gun
é Lift cannon
ê Lift cannon in opposite direction
