U177 type IX D2 with Diving System TAE

NEW version - with highly detailled guns, fittings and conning tower!

The U177 Type IX D2 with Diving System TAE includes:
• Upper and lower hull, bulk head and pressure proof compartment made of glass fibre
• Conning tower, guns and fittings highly detailed - full scale
• 2 main drive motors with gear box (with ball bearings)
• Props, prop shafts and couplings made of brass
• Rudders and dive planes cast of resin
• Complete set of fittings
• Periscopes to scale
• Wooden deckings
• All necessary accessories (such as links, screws etc.)
• Rolled lead (main ballast approx 4 kg)
• Instructions and plan in English, fully detailed and drawn 1:1, as well as additional drawings
• Complete Dive System type TAE including 2 Piston Tanks with HALL Sensors (with 750ml volume each), Switch Unit TAE3 with Pressure Switch and all necessary hosings and connectors.

Switch unit TAE3 offers more functions and safety than ever before.
Furthermore, the TAE3 features Hall Sensors allowing proportional control of Piston Tanks.

Main Characteristics TAE3
• Controls 2 Piston Tanks
• Hall Sensors for proportional control
• Piston Tanks can be operated as a pair or individually
• 4 fail safe devices
• very reliable
• self-resetting fuses against overload
• threshold voltage adjustable
• connectivity for pressure switch

With the TAE3 Piston Tanks can be controlled either as a pair (standard) or as two singles via 2 R/C channels.

The TAE3 features enhanced switching characteristics covering any avoidable risk to operational safety of your submarine model. Each Piston Tank is safeguarded by a self-resetting polymer fuse against electrical overload.

The TAE3 will automatically switch to empty the tanks not only if receiver signal is lost but even if the receiver itself or receiver power (Rx battery or BEC) is defective, thereby allowing the model to resurface safely.

In addition, the unit features 3 additional fail safe devices, such as loss of receiver signal, low battery monitor and limitation of operational depth by pressure switch (included in this set). If transmitter signal is lost (e.g. by excessive depth) or main battery power has diminished the unit will also automatically switch the tanks to bail. Threshold voltage at which the automatic resurfacing mode is activated is adjustable by a rotary switch onboard of the unit (factory settings 4V for 6V operation, 9V for 12V operation). Operational and switching modes are indicated by LEDs.

The main power circuit (6 Volt) is held seperately from the unit’s control current (4.8 to 8 Volt) thereby minimising interference and eliminating power fluctuations within the control system.
