Option Pack 1 - Bench Assembly

Assembly of the radio control gear needs to be done on a bench to ensure that the equipment operates properly. The information on this web page are to be used as a visual guide with the instructions supplied by Armortek. Follow the Armortek instructions very carefully. The wiring schematic that Armortek provided for the original Option Pack 1 is here.

I've added black braided nylon wiring sleeves where possible to reduce abrasion hazards to the wiring. The wiring sub looms were also labeled to make them easier to find.

Connecting the main motors to each of the electronic speed control relays. These are not the 4QD speed controllers that Armortek now supplies.
Connecting the power supply leads on the electronic speed controllers to the power output cables from fuse box glands 3 & 4.
Connecting the first electronic switch unit to the switch unit sub loom labeled "1". I added the number "1" on the switch.
Connecting the second electronic switch unit to the switch unit sub loom labeled "2". I added the number "2" on the switch.
Connecting the turret rotation motor to the rotation motor sub loom using the two-way shrouded connector.
Connecting the switch unit sub loom to auxiliary unit power supply cables from fuse box gland 5.
Connect the turret sub loom to the switch unit sub loom using the eight way connector. This is a difficult connector to use for the first time. I'd recommend finding a spare spade connector and inserting it into each female connector of the 8 way to loosen them up. Connect the elevation motor to the turret sub loom.
Connecting the recoil servo to the servo socket on the turret sub loom.
Connecting the elevation motor limit switches to the turret sub loom.
