Terminology 專有名詞

Natural Gear disable track ESC during shift in state, see section 10-CH  S.Bus mode control scheme for details

空檔功能關閉履帶電子變速器當處於入檔狀態

Ultrasonic ESC is the ESC block which switch FET at ultrasonic speed, make motor rotation extreme  smooth and quite.

Adjustable ESC start voltage: offset can be added to ESC input vs. output curve to meet the characteristic   of motor

Carefree reversing: Unlike some other control board, there is no need for TK series board to delay before being commanded to reverse, can go from full forward immediately to full reverse or vice versa
 

EPM ( ESC/PWM module) is peripheral which can be switched to ESC or PWM mode, allows the user to drive brushed motor or servo motor, in ESC mode, ESC port is enabled, can be used to drive brushed motor, In PWM mode, PWM port is enabled to driver servo motor, sound effect stopped when servo motor reach end point, TK50 has 2 EPMs for gun elevation(EPM1) and turret rotation/gun traverses(EPM2),

RealRecoil allows you to recreate real gun barrel recoil movement with single & cheap servo motor

Recoil Solenoid allows you to recreate MG/Auto cannon barrel recoil movement with Solenoid

V2 Smoker driver smoker fan/compressor speed is proportional to engine RPM and Load

V2  Mixer turning is achieved by reducing track speed and also increase opposite track speed to achieve smoother turning.

Adjustable Low Battery threshold cut off ESC output when battery voltage is lower than threshold, and threshold can be adjusted according to type and cells

Momentum Effect to simulate inertia of tank hull movement

BEC stands for battery elimination circuit.This circuit powers the receiver thought channel cable, therefore no secondary battery source is required.

Type of Tank determines Battle Date when doing IR battle( See Variants section )

坦克類別決定紅外對戰數據

Note: HENG-LONG TANK doesn't have Damaged State and Badly Damaged State. speed reduction can be turned off by Speed reduction in damage state and Speed reduction in badly damaged state function.

註: 恆龍原廠坦克沒有受損及嚴重受損狀態, 本控制器的機動性能減損功能可以經由受損狀態速度及嚴重受損速度關閉

Note: Suggested Value, can be changed by Reload Time and Invulnerability time setting function

註: 建議值, 可以透過裝填時間及無損害時間設定修改

Installation Guide

Set Upper Hull Functions (CN9) Mode to match your tank hardware configuration (HL AirSoft, TAMIYA Recoil or MG recoil),

Disconnect RX-18 and plug cables to the same connector on TK board,

Set Sound Volume to middle

Install a switch cable (for example, HL Smoke Unit Switch Cable) to SW connector( Switch Cable Port)  as power switch.

Because HL tank already have power switch on battery cable path, so additional switch is not required, just 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.

Connect a recoil servo to J2(Optional),

Rewire Air-soft unit if you want to elevate and depress gun directly, see "HL Gun Elevation and AirSoft Correction" section

(Optional). wire a 2.2 ohm 1/2W (color code: red read gold gold) in-serial resistor to turret rotate, elevation and airsoft motor to limit the current to protect FETs in case motor stall  occured.

Connect channel cables to receiver according to RC mode( See picture "TK series connector and pin assignments" ) . if you are not sure what mode you RC system is, just swap CH2 and CH3 and try again.

TK40 board has BEC( Battery eliminate circuit), can power receiver through channel cables, no additional battery is needed for receiver

Set CH1, 2 and 3 trimmer on transmitter to center position, Set CH4 trimmer on transmitter to most left or right  position,

Connect power adaptor( See FAQ )

Switch on TK board and transmitter, you should hear turret traverse sound. if not, please contact us.

gently move CH4(Multi function control signal 2) trimmer to center till turret traverse is gone.

gently move CH2(Throttle ) trimmer up and down if you hear motor hum sound.

Cannon firing sound should be generated and recoil servo should moves when move CH3 stick to most top position, if not, gently move CH3(Multi function control signal 2 ) trimmer up and down till it work correctly.

You are all set

Disconnect power adaptor and connect battery( make sure that battery is fully charged).

Tank Personalization 坦克個人化設定

Settings/parameters of TK series board can be changed/tuned by specific procedures

TK系列控制器內的設定值/參數可以通過下列的程序做改變/調整

Hardware needed 需要的硬體

1. IR configuration remote as IR command transmitter, 紅外線遙控器當做設定值發射器

2. TAMIYA battle unit(TBU),  Heng-Leog battle unit(HBU), or our IR configuration line as IR command receiver. picture below is IR configuration line 田宮對戰器, 恆龍對戰器或紅外設定接收線當做設定值接收器, 下圖為紅外設定接收線

紅外設定接收線

Steps to change settings 改變設定步驟

STEP 1: Turn power off, Turn power off, Turn power off,

步驟1: 關閉控制器電源

步驟2: 接上紅外設定接收線/田宮對戰器到CN2接口

STEP 3: Install a jumper to J2 as shown below, Turn power on,

步驟3: 將跳接器插上J2,打開電源

STEP 4:Refer to function table listed below, point IR configuration remote to TBU/HBU/Programming line receiver, and press the button of setting that you want to change,  "*" sign in function table means the default setting that is programmed in factory

步驟4: 參照下面的功能表格, 將紅外發射器對準紅外設定接收線/田宮對戰器, 按下想要改變設定的按鈕. 功能表格上有"*"號的設定值表示是出廠設定

步驟5: 在紅外設定接收線/田宮對戰器上的指示燈會以閃爍表示新的設定值

STEP 6: turn power off, remove jumper on J2, then turn power on and TK board runs with new settings.

步驟6: 關掉電源, 取下跳線器,再打開電源, 控制器就會在新的設定值下運作  

Hint:

Indicator always shows the new setting, not CURRENT setting on the board, for example, after power up, function page selection is set to page 1 automatically, when "-/--" Key pressed first time, function page selection is set to 2, so Indicator flash 2 times, not 1.

STEP 2: Plug programming line/TBU through TBU/HBU base into CN2 Infrared Port ,

STEP 3: Install a jumper to J2 as shown below, Turn power on,

STEP 4: Press "-/--" Key once, Indicator on TBU/HBU flashes two times,

STEP 5: Press "1" Key once, Indicator on TBU/HBU flashes two times,

STEP 6: Turn power off, remove jumper on J2, then turn power on

Example2, to switch EPM2 form ESC mode to PWM mode

The setting function going to use is Turret rotation/gun traverse EPM(EPM2) Mode, it's located on Function page 2, key to use is number key "1", so the full steps to do are as the following

STEP 1: Turn power off, Turn power off, Turn power off !

STEP 2: Plug programming line/TBU through TBU/HBU base into CN2 Infrared Port ,

STEP 3: Install a jumper to J2 as shown below, Turn power on,

STEP 4: Press "-/--" Key once, Indicator on TBU/HBU flashes two times,
