10 Assembly Guide Inspect metal portion on FETs and make sure they are not touched to each other after shipment Set Main Gun Function Mode to match your tank hardware configuration (HL AirSoft, HL Recoil or TAMIYA Recoil) Disconnect RX-18 and plug cables to the same connector on TK board Set Sound Volume to middle Connect a switch cable (for example, HL Smoke Unit Switch Cable) to Switch Cable Port as power switch. Because HL tank already have power switch on battery cable, you can just to short Switch Cable Port's two pins or connect to a switch cable and keep it switched on. 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 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. TK20 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 battery( make sure that battery is fully charged) 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

11 HL Gun Elevation and AirSoft Correction In HL original design, gun Elevation and AirSoft sharing same driving H/W, so the gun elevation can only be controlled in one direction, if you missed the angle you want, you will need to wait a full cycle of gun elevation, to correct this problem, we add dedicate AirSoft control h/w to TK20 board. the following shows you how to correct HL tank and get two direction elevation. The picture below is original wiring in HL tank: Modify it as the following:

12 1. Disconnect red wire between safety switch and gun barrel elevation unit. 2. Change original 3P connector to 4P type, add additional wire from safety switch to 4P connector

13 3. Add 4P connector HUL-8P PCB connector 4. Done, AirSoft unit is now controlled by red-black pair, gun barrel unit is controlled by red-white pair. and you can connect 8P connector to CN9 on TK-18/20 with original cable.

14 HL Tail Light Correction Tail Light in HL tank is wire to MG light, so the Tail Light flashes when MG firing, this is very funny to us, to correct this problem and make tail light to be controlled with Headlight, please refer to the picture below and rewire it. 1. Remove 2 pin plug from PCB, twist angled pins to opposite side, 2. Connect Tail Light LED + pin( Red wire of Tail Light cable) to CN9.3 pin( Yellow wire ) 3. Connect a 200 Ohm resistor between 2-P connector pin and CN9.2 pin(green), a SMD type resistor is used in this example to save space. Original wiring diagram Corrected wiring diagram

32 Special Board Programming Notes When in programming mode for the boards, every time a valid programming button on the remote is pressed, the associated function will be incremented to the next available setting. So after pressing a programming button, the returned LED indicator flashes are not showing the current setting for that function, but actually flashing the correct amount of times for the new setting you have just input for the function. For this reason, it's best to either remember each function's current setting, or write them down somewhere. If you accidentally change a setting for a function, you will have to repeatedly press the same programming button to cycle through all of that function's available settings to return to the original settings it was before you pressed the button the first time. When an unknown programming button on a remote is used on the board while in programming mode, the LED indicator will return the same number of flashes which represent the IR code it received. As an example, if your board does not currently have the Turret Damage Simulation function on it, when using either the remote's "Teletext OFF" or "[]" key, the LED indicator will flash 56 times consecutively, rather than flash an appropriate 1-2 flashes for that function's valid programming settings. FAQs Q: How to interface TK22 board to external amplifier A: This picture shows the pin assignment of external amplifier in this example, Battery + & Battery - are power input pin, SIN+ and - is for audio signal input, SPK+ and - is speaker port First to disconnect black wire from HL Volume control board and isolate it with tape, wire a 2-P, 2.54mm pitch connector wire to Volume control board as shown below

33 Then get power from TK22 board from bottom side. You can also use additional 11.4~12V battery pack to power amplifier, just make sure ground of TK22 & additional battery pack are connected firmly Connect power form TK22 to Battery+ & Battery - pin, connect 2-P, 2.54mm pitch connector wire SIG+ and SIG-,and then connect sparker to SPK+ and SPK- pin.

34 Q: When I move left stick backward, only the right track goes backward the left track does not move, It is possible I crossed the +positive and --negative terminals when connecting the new motors? A: Yes, when +positive and --negative terminals are crossed, one of terminal will burn out immediately, you can bend FETs a little bit to check these traces, one of them should be broken. you can reconnect it by soldering to fix the problem. We recommend that to use power adapter(7.2v, 400mAh) as power source after rewiring. then switch to battery when everything are tested OK. 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.

35 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 Q: What's the IR battle range of TK20 A: The table below shows the test result we've done here or from customer site IR Transmitter IR Receiver Board Version Test result Test environment HL Original IR LED HL Battle Unit TK20 with Mod. >7M Indoor HL Original IR LED HL Battle Unit TK20E 13M Outdoor IR010 TAMIYA Battle Unit TK20E >30M Outdoor

36 Standard version TK20 is not designed to battle at 30M distance. however, there is a very simple way to extend battle range by removing the resistor circled in the picture below and short its two pads( or just use a wire to short its two pads). 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:It is possible to change the sound? A: No, to change sound on TK board required some equipment and technique, so you can not do it by yourself, but we can if you send us processed sound file(22khz, 8-Bit format) that you want to program into, average lead time is 2 weeks, This service is free of charge with MOQ( Minimum order quantity) of 3 units. The following are the sound effect section you can change. - Cannon - Machine Gun - Gun elevation - Turret travels( 4 sections, start, loop1, loop2 & stop) - Engine Start, engine step 1~8, engine stop. 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.

37 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.
