Installation & Operation
Please read the following instructions and safety warnings carefully BEFORE you commence with
the assembly of this unit and installation of the dive system. For further safety instructions please
refer to the instructions supplied with Piston Tanks.
Only operate Piston Tanks when switch unit is completely connected. Otherwise
Piston Tanks will inevitably be damaged, resulting in total failure of the system.
During the charging period all batteries must be removed from the hull. NEVER charge
batteries inside the hull as almost all battery types gas while being charged. Insufficient
air circulation during the charging period may lead to a serious EXPLOSION!

- Page 2 T max Item No. 1584-TMX The Tmax offers a maximum of features for controlling Piston Tanks. Tmax version 2 (V2) is equipped with a regulated power supply for the processor, by which susceptibility to radio interference is minimized. As the functions of this system are quite extensive, it is absolutely necessary to study the following instructions and diagrams carefully before commencing with the setup of the system.
- Page 3 All motor housings of the model (including main drive motors) should be connected to "ground" (negative pole of main drive battery). This will further decrease probability of radio interference. DO NOT operate the piston tanks if switch unit is not completely connected! Otherwise you risk damage of the Piston Tank mechanism.

T max Item No. 1584-TMX CONNECTING PRESSURE SWITCH The electric connection between pressure switch and Tmax is made of the two-core lead supplied. Pins 1 and 3 of the pressure switch are connected to the corresponding ports on the switch unit as illustrated. The allocation of pins on Tmax connecting to the pressure switch is not of any relevance. - Page 5 Nevertheless, a slight positive buoyancy of approx. 5-7 grams should remain.

T max Item No. 1584-TMX FUSE The Tmax is fitted with a 10 A fuse (slow-blow) for protection of its operational circuit due to overload - but NOT against reverse polari- ty! An overload may be caused by a blocked motor (i. e. by incorrect polarity) or a blocked cog wheel. The latter is unlikely but after years in service not impossible (see "Maintenance"... - Page 9 Installation of charging sockets in either the hull or pressure proof compartment will result in the GUARANTEE being NULL and VOID!
