Install
a switch (for example,
HL Smoke Unit Switch Cable)
to
SW connector( Switch Cable Port)
as power switch.
HL tank already have power switch on battery cable path, so additional
switch is not required, to use a jumper to short
pins in SW Cable port or connect a switch cable and keep it switched on.

When high current track motors are used, such as 400/480 motor,
power switch on battery cable path will not be able to handle,
connect a switch cable (for example,
HL Smoke Unit Switch Cable)
to
this port
as power switch.
TK60 board has 0.8A BEC( Battery
eliminate
circuit),
can power receiver through channel cables, no additional battery is needed for
receiver
Set trimmers on transmitter to center position,
Connect TK60 to battery or power adaptor( See FAQ )
Switch on TK60
board and transmitter,
Send
different commands( see control mode diagram) to test each function, if board
not functions accordingly, adjust trimmer on transmitter.
Done!

Proportional
Smoker driver and Heater pre-heating |
A conventional smoker include
two major parts, Heater and Fan/Pump, Heater heats oil to generate smoke, and
Fan/Pump pushes smoke from smoker unit, on a stock HL Smoker, heater and pump
motor are wired together and driven together as shown in the picture below.
TK60 is capable to control
Fan/Pump and Heater separately to achieve more realistic smoke effect, it starts
to heat heater to generate smoke right after engine start command is given and
smoke accumulated in the chamber, at the moment of engine start, it drive
pump/Fan at full speed to create burst of smoke like real engine, then it drive
pump/Fan proportionally according to the throttle, when engine stop command is
given, it stops fan/pump and heater heating.
To control Fan/Pump and Heater
separately, fan/pump and heater wires on stock HL smoker need to be separated
also and connect TK60 individually, simply unsolder heater wire( red-red ) from
PCB on smoker and connect to CN12 port, pump motor connect to CN10(original
black-red wire), also connect a switch to switch port CN11 to switch on/off
fan/pump control from TK60. video below shows a modified Hen long Smoker driven
by TK60
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64Dkc136oWY
If separate control is not needed, just
connect stock Hen long Smoker to CN10, and switch to switch port CN11, TK60 will
also drive HL smoker proportionally according to the throttle.

Q:
My TK60 can not
register a hit from Tamiya tank.
A:
To check "Receive Tamiya IR code" setting. TK60 won't
response Tamiay IR code when this setting is disabled.
Q:
The airsoft motor does not run until after the gun fire sound has played and the
reload sound has happened. I want the airsoft motor to run while the gun sound
plays. I also planned to make recoil work with the airsoft…but when I fire the
gun, the recoil servo operates in time to the sound…but has returned to the
normal position when the airsoft motor operates.
A:
Just need to set Main Gun Function Mode to AirSoft mode, then
cannon sound, servo recoil and airsoft unit will be synchronized.
Q:
I already set Main
Gun Function Mode to
HL AirSoft MODE, but
AirSoft motor does not run when
I give fire cannon command.
A:To
correct airsoft unit wiring as
HL
Gun Elevation and AirSoft Correction section mentioned.
Q:
Airsoft unit fires continuously and have no cannon sound.
A:
When main
Main Gun
Function Mode is configured to AirSoft
Mode, TK60 start to drive AirSoft motor (thought CN9 3rd &4th pin) when fire
cannon command is received.
when Airsoft just fired, Airsoft switch is closed , Tk60 knows it
thought CN3 Pin4
& Pin5.
and then stop to drive Airsoft Motor and start to generate cannon. So in order
to make it works properly, AirSoft motor need to be connected to CN9 pin3
and pin4. AirSoft switch connector to CN3 Pin4
& Pin5.

You can
simply test it by a
tweezers, to short and release
it will stop AirSoft motor.

Q:
How to avoid damage that caused by short circuit to the board?
A:
Damage can be prevented by using a current limited power
adaptor as power source, first to find a ~6V, 400mAh power adaptor, 1K 1/4W ohm
resistor, LED and a motor cable(from HL cable Set)

then
connect + wire(with white strip) from adaptor to red wire of HL cable, - wire to
black wire of HL cable, adn wire resistor and LED as the following to act as
indicator.

Each
time, when you did some modification on circuit or after installation, use this
as power source fist. plug connect each by each, and LED will be dimmed
immediately if any shortage in circuitry and not thing on TK board will be
damaged because power can only supply low & limited current.
The
board might be act very strange when it's power by this, such as motor can not
moves will, cannon fired unexpectedly when turret rotation sound comes up, these
are quite normal because current is not enough.
Q: Tank hull
recoil movement direction is not correct, moves forward and then backward while
firing main gun.
A: Just need to swap motor cables, CN6 to Motor
Right, CN7 to Motor Left, and turn on servo reverser function on throttle
channel from radio transmitter.
Q:
All function runs but just no sound!!
A:
This can be the
common issue on HL Volume Control
board, just to short outer pins of CN4 with
tweezers to verify it. if
sound comes out when doing this, the HL volume control board is broken.

Q:
Do I need noise filtering capacitor on motor
A:
Yes, it's needed to prevent back EMF to interference TK20 board. All HL stock
tank already have it on motors

This type of
capacitor is not good, DO NOT USE!

Q:Tank
moves backward faster than forwards and does not turn. It only turn if firstly
turn steering stick and secondly throttle stick.
A:
To turn off mixer on transmitter and test
again.
Q:
Can get motor
sounds, cannon sounds, turret sounds, but no motion on either drive motors or
turret rotation gearbox
A:
Check if battery voltage
is too low, auto cutoff function cuts motor off when battery voltage is too low.
Q: What
is
Mixer
A: A piece of software
that converts
Rudder and
Throttle
control
signal
to Left and
Right track speed signal. All TK board has mixer on it, mixer
function on RC transmitter need to be turned off.
Q: What is Safety shutoff:
A:
Controller cuts motor off and waits signal come back.
Q:
What is
Auto cutoff:
A:
The motor cutoff will
occurred when battery input drops below minimum supply voltage of controller.
Q: Which RC system can works
with TK board:
A:
Basically, TK can work with all kind of aftermarket RC system
as long as it's PWM system, here is a table list most popular one.

Q: Audio Amp thermal
protection:
A:
that turns off device when junction temperature over 150 degree C to prevent
damage
Q:
Is it possible to make additional settings using
existing IR signals for example to make
HL IR
signal and 9 hits can take, originally 5 hits?
A:
yes, IR code to receive, IR code to transmit, preset
& battle data can be set
independently.
Q:
Is it possible to set setting with other device
(not SONY IR code remote)?
A:
Only Sony IR code remote can be used, you can also
have universal remote and configure it to SONY mode.
Q: Any Other
SONY remote, such as SONY Bravia unified IR
Configuration Remote, can config TK20?
A:
Can't sure, with more and more
setting function are added, some code not common on every remote are used. so we
suggest to use same remote as we use.
Q:
What's BEC
A:
BEC stands for
battery elimination circuit. This circuit powers the
receiver thought channel cable, no
secondary
battery source is required.
Use dry battery or power supply as
power source at testing to keep burn down anything if any error on modification.
then use chargeable battery when every function working normally.
Read
carefully and fully understand the instructions before commencing assembly.
Metal
part on FET can not be touched with any metal when TK board is operating.
