Assembly and connection
Faulty wiring may cause permanent damage to the electronics! If anything is unclear, please look
at our FAQ or write an email to us!
• Connect connector 1, all other ThinkTank modules and the BEC-supply, when existent, with
the EMNet cable A
• Connect volume control B with connector 2
• Connect the speaker with cable C to one of the two connectors 3. If you ordered the blaster
with a speaker, it will already be delivered with the cable. You can use up to two speakers with
the Blaster 2 resulting in higher loudness. In this case consider the polarity of the
loudspeakers! If the sound appears 'thinner', swap the cables of one of them.
• Leave all jumpers closed to activate the standard set of samples for the tiger tank or choose
another one by setting the jumpers accordingly to your choice. A list with all available sample
sets is included.
• When you install the circuit board in the tank, make sure that no short circuits can occur (a
second mounting hole is placed below the CPU PCB).
It is essential for proper function of the module that the tank itself and all other modules are
• Make sure all cables have been installed as described above.
• Make sure that all jumpers are put in the right position and that the SD card is well fixed.
• Put in a full charged battery and switch on the tank.
• The power LED starts blinking for a short time as soon as the connection with the other
