4. Now you can control TITAN via GATE Control Station.

During the rst start you will be asked to create your own prole. It is not obligatory but it will help when you will be contacting our support.

5.2. Status tab

 The status TAB informs you about version, edition, type and serial number of the

connected device,  as well as application version and server status. Here you can simply update or „downgrade your device or upgrade rmware of your unit to ADVANCED or EXPERT

edition.

There are four icons in the upper right corner:

 Mail - includes messages and newsletter  Prole - allows you to change your privacy settings  Options - here you can choose the language (future function), switch update inverval, turn

on/o the autosaving and sounds

 Info - basic legal information

5.3. Settings tab

Settings tab was created in order to simplify the conguration of your TITAN.

 Factory reset – (also called “Hard reset”) restores all default settings, resets your statistics

and clears adaptation data.

 Default setting – restores only default settings.

 Settings tab:

Fire selector mode – allows you to choose how your replica will behave on each re selector

position:

• SAFE – replica will not re aer trigger pull

• SEMI – one pull of the trigger will result in only one shot

• BURST – one pull of the trigger enables you to shoot a pre-determined

number of BBs, which is very useful in MILSLIM and when using low-caps

• AUTO – pulling the trigger causes uninterrupted* series of shots until the trigger is released

*series can be limited by Round Limit

Pre-cocking mode – allows for initial spring compression, which speeds up the trigger

response signicantly:

• AUTO MODE – the spring is automatically compressed aer each shot

• TRIGGER MODE – slow trigger action compresses the

spring, and fast trigger action res the shot

Please note: using PRE-COCKING increases wear and tear on the gearbox.

Pre-cocking boost – determines the strength of spring compression. The highest setting results in the best trigger response, but also mostly increases wear and tear on the gearbox.

If you are facing overspin issue, set GEAR RATIO to HIGH SPEED.

Burst mode:

• FULL – every, even the shortest trigger action res the pre-determined number of rounds

• TRIGGER – releasing the trigger while ring stops the burst sequence.

Burst – allows you to set how many BBs will be red

ROF stabilization:

• ON – ROF Control uses PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) to decrease ROF. Thanks to this,

gearbox works smoothly what decreases wear and tear of AEG internal parts. The percentage value determines the PWM duty cycle and it does not reect ROF decrease.

• OFF – ROF Control adds breaks between shots to decrease ROF. It gives you more

realistic experience. This option set to 50% will signicantly reduce the rate of re.

ROF control – enables a reduction in a gun’s rate of re. You use stronger LiPo batteries, and still have a ROF just like in a real gun.

Sniper delay – lets you to set delay between each SEMI shots to simulate the delay from reload

or recoil. You can set 0.5s, 1s, 2s or 3s delay. By choosing ‘VIB’ option, you can enable vibration which will inform you when the gun is ready to re again.

Battery protection – modern LiPo and LiFe batteries are very sensitive to over-discharge. The

microprocessor monitors the battery voltage constantly. When the voltage drops down to a critical level, it will not allow ring.

Battery cell – when the battery voltage drops to the specied level (in relation to one cell), the motor will vibrate. You can set: OFF, 3.2V or 3.4V per cell for LiPo battery and 2.7V or 2.9V per

cell for LiFe battery.

30-Round Limit – an AEG can continuously re max. 30 BBs. To re more BBs, you must release the trigger before. This is protection against trigger jam. Important: in case of emergency, you can also stop ring by switching the re selector position.

Cycle detection – allows to switch OFF or ON the optical gear sensor. Cycle detection OFF can be compared with the “emergency mode” for troubles with gear sensor. Most of TITAN features

will be disabled, but you can still shoot on ‘AUTO’.

Thanks to the gear sensor, TITAN precisely detects in which position the cycle should nish. Therefore, even the shortest trigger action produces at least one full cycle.

Equalizer (dynamic trigger point):

• OFF - to re the next shot, you need to release the trigger until it reaches the selected trigger sensitivity level

• 2LVL - to re the next shot, it is enough to release the trigger so as it

changes the state of two trigger sensors or ~40% of trigger movement

• 1LVL - to re the next shot, it is enough to release the trigger so as it changes the state of one trigger sensor or ~20% of trigger movement

1LVL or 2LVL are especially useful when the trigger sensitivity level is very high. Then you do not need to fully release the trigger while quickly ring on SEMI.

Active brake - it automatically adjusts the motor’s braking power according to your needs. This prolongs the lifespan of the motor and reduces the heat. Now you can also choose your own value depending on your needs.

Gear ratio - to make the PRE-COCKING work with the highest level of precision you should dene the gears type in your AEG. Available types: STANDARD, HIGH TORQUE, HIGH SPEED,

DSG, 19-TOOTH.

Typical gear ratio settings (excluding DSG and 19-tooth):

• HIGH TORQUE: <15 RPS

• STANDARD: 15-25 RPS

• HIGH SPEED: >25 RPS

If overspin issue occurs, you should switch the gear type to the next level (e.g. STANDARD to HIGH TORQUE).

Notice

Regional lock designed for German players will disable all the burst and auto options.

Notice

The DSG and 19-TOOTH gear ratio options are not available for TITAN V2 NGRS.

5.4. Sensors tab

Depending on your TITAN model, you will see one of the three screens below.

We designed the Sensors TAB in order to let you choose the  trigger sensitivity or  trigger

mode that is the best for you. Thanks to live view, you do not need to mechanically adjust your trigger. Simply choose the value and check if it suits you.

You will be warned if the trigger sensitivity value reaches extremely low level.

5.5. Statistics tab

The statistics tab contains main information about your replica performance. You can simply clear each value by clicking “Reset” button. You can also independently reset BB1 and BB2

counter.

TITAN gives you the option to check:

• Rate of re - Minimum, Average, Maximum

• Trigger response - Minimum, Average, Maximum

• Module’s temperature - Minimum, At this moment, Maximum

• Motor current - Average AUTO, Average SEMI, Maximum Peak

• Battery voltage - Minimum, Last, Maximum

• Number of red BBs - BB1, BB2, TOTAL

Notice

Statistics are saved every ten seconds. If you want to save your

statistics immediately, switch the re selector to SAFE.

5.6. Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) tab

This TAB will help you to troubleshoot your replica in case of any issue. If you need additional help, you can contact our Support Center using  “SEND REPORT” button, or save the report

using  “SAVE TO FILE” button.

If an error occurs, it will be  highlighted and  described. In such a case, we suggest to follow  ”WHAT TO DO” instructions in the rst place.

6. TITAN V2

TITAN V2™ is an AEG Control System for V2 gearboxes which will transform your AEG into an

advanced training weapon. Adjust your AEG and check the Statistics using USB-Link and GATE Control Station app for PC/MAC and Android devices. Gain a tactical advantage thanks to the extremely fast trigger response, option of adjusting trigger sensitivity to your preferences and many other useful functions. Give your AEG a new lease of life!

3. Quickstart Guide

Notice

In order to congure TITAN, you need the USB-Link or Tactical

Programming Card which is not included in this kit.

6.3. Installation safety

Caution

A sector gear can damage a gear sensor during installation. Stay careful to avoid this damage.

Caution

Gearbox shell manufactured by ICS and Krytac must be modied to achieve 100% compatibility with TITAN V2. Lack of the modication will permanently damage your unit, which is not covered by the warranty.

Caution

Placing the washers in wrong order will cause short circuit and permanent

damage to the TITAN, which is not covered by the warranty.

Caution

The improper placement of wiring under motor gear can

cause insulation damage and a short circuit.

Caution

Do not pull the trigger when gearbox is open. It may result in trigger sensors’ damage.

Notice

In case of some triggers (e.g. speed or CNC triggers), rst trigger sensors might be covered even if the trigger is not pulled.

Notice

A selector sensor does not detect black surface. If your selector does not have metal connector, you must use sticker from the kit.

Notice

The sticker position is very important. Pay attention to place the sticker very close to the le edge, between the top and bottom red lines.

The set contains 3 dierent sticker types. At rst, use the sticker with narrower black line. If

you are not able to calibrate selector well, you should try other stickers.

6.4. Installation

Installation Kit contents:

1. Selector plate stickers

2. Female deans-t connector

3. Motor connectors 2.8 x 0.5 mm [0.11 x 0.02 in]

4. 0.7mm [0.03 in] screw and washers set

5. 0.5mm [0.02 in] screw and washers set

You will need:

• cross-head screwdriver

• at-blade screwdriver

• metal le or milling machine

• solvent

• grease

• USB-Link, micro USB-Cable and PC / MAC or OTG cable and Android device

Follow the steps below in order to mount the TITAN drop-in module:

1. Remove the gearbox from the AEG body.

2. Disassemble your gearbox, take out all the internals.

3. Clean the gearbox case using solvent.

4. Pay attention to the marked area. If you see that it is not smooth, use a

metal le or grindstone to prepare the surface. The gearbox surface should be smooth, with no sharp edges which would damage the TITAN.

5. Detach the drop-in module carefully.

6. Place the bottom board on the bottom part of the gearbox. Do not use

a screw yet. Check if the bottom board is laid at in the gearbox.

7. Make sure the electronic components do not touch the gearbox case.

8. Use the insulation (black) washer from the kit. ATTENTION! The insulation washer must

protect the circuit board. The metal screw and metal washer cannot touch the board

directly. It can result in a short circuit and TITAN damage which is not covered by the warranty.

9. Screw on the bottom board to the case. Use the original screw or the one from the TITAN kit.

10. Check if the screw sticks out of the gearbox.

11. If so, add metal washer(s) included in the kit. Make sure that the metal washer is placed between the screw and the insulation washer. It cannot touch the circuit board directly.

12. Check if the top board ts gearbox without any problems.

13. Loosen the screw. Adjust the position of the bottom board. The distance between the board and the bearing should be similar as indicated in the marked area.

Notice

Sector gear sensor placement is very important.

14. Make sure the marked areas are not covered by board or wires.

15. Check if sensors are clean and not covered by wires.

16. Some gearboxes need modication. Check if your gearbox

has the marked pins. If so, remove them.

17. Check if both parts of the gearbox t together perfectly.

18. Mount the trigger without spring. Insert the TITAN top board. Close the gearbox. When the gearbox is closed, carefully check if the trigger

moves smoothly and does not touch any TITAN’s components.

19. Mount the sector gear, trigger with spring and top TITAN board. Make sure that the gear does not touch TITAN.

20. Close the gearbox. Tighten two screws on the top part of the gearbox case.

21. Prepare selector plate. If the selector plate does not have copper connector, you need

to modify it. The black surface does not reect light, so sensors cannot work properly.

22. In order to modify the black plate, use a sticker from the installation kit. At rst, try to use the ‘middle’ sticker.

Notice

If the selector plate has copper connector, do not make any modications.

23. Black plate aer modication. The sticker location is very important.

It should be as close to the le side as possible.

24. Install the selector plate.

25. Connect TITAN to your PC using USB-Link. Start the GATE Control Station App.

26. Pull the trigger slowly. The TRIGGER SENSORS LED indicators will stop glowing, one by one. They indicate active sensors. In case of some trigger models,

rst sensors might be active even when the trigger is not pulled.

27. Check if the sensors recognize the selector plate. Moving the selector plate, verify if TITAN detects SAFE, SEMI and AUTO.

28. If all the three LED indicators are ON, this means an error.

Notice

This error occurs mostly when a selector plate does not reect light. It can also

occur if too much light reaches sensors. Then you need to cover the sensors.

29. Turn the gear slowly to check if the sensor detects teeth. Keep in mind that the TITAN reads the sensors much quicker than the GCS.

30. Insert gearbox into body and check whether the TITAN

detects the re selector position correctly.

Switch should take place approximately halfway between selector positions:

a) SAFE - SEMI ~45° b) SEMI - AUTO ~135°

Otherwise, you need to modify the selector plate with other sticker.

31. If all the sensors work awlessy, you can assemble the gearbox. Do not use too much

grease. In a critical situation, excessive grease may cover a sensor.

Notice

A few initial shots are ‘calibration shots’. TITAN adapts to the gearbox conguration. In order to readapt TITAN, you must restore factory settings or change gear ratio. This is necessary e. g. if you replaced motor

7. TITAN V3

7.3. Installation safety

Notice

The TITAN V3 ts CNC gearboxes with very small backlash. While tting the TITAN, pull the cables and at the same time push the board into the right place. Pay attention to the area marked in yellow to t the board correctly.

Notice

Use the trigger sticker to make it visible for trigger sensor.

Notice

TITAN detects trigger position very precisely. In order to use it, you need to

eliminate trigger backlash. The set contains 3 trigger anti-backlash stickers

of dierent thickness. Try each of them and choose the most proper one.

Notice

The selector plate requires modication. Place the selector sticker according to the photos below.

Notice

The sticker position is very important.

You will need:

• cross-head screwdriver

• at-blade screwdriver

• metal le or milling machine

• solvent

• grease

• USB-Link, micro USB-Cable and PC / MAC or OTG cable and Android device

Follow the steps below in order to mount the TITAN drop-in module:

1. Remove the gearbox from the AEG body.

2. Disassemble your gearbox, take out all the internals.

3. Clean the gearbox case using solvent.

4. Detach the drop-in module carefully.

5. Route the wires through gearbox shell from the inside.

6. Place the wires in gearbox shell so as the unit can t properly without any resistance.

7. Place the bottom board on the bottom part of the gearbox. Do not use

a screw yet. Check if the bottom board is laid at in the gearbox.

8. Make sure the electronic components do not touch the gearbox case.

9. If the bottom board ts correctly, use a cut-o lever screw to

stabilize the unit. Use also the included washers.

Notice

TITAN V3 does not require an insulation washer.

10. Check if the screw sticks out of the gearbox.

11. If so, add metal washer(s) included in the kit.

12. Check if the top board ts gearbox without any problems.

13. Loosen the screw. Adjust the position of the bottom board. The distance between the board and the bearing should be similar as indicated in the marked area.

Notice

Sector gear sensor placement is very important.

14. Mount the sector gear and top TITAN board. Make sure that the gear does not touch TITAN.

15. Close the gearbox. Use at least two screws.

16. Connect TITAN to your PC through USB-Link. Start the GATE Control Station App.

17. Turn the gear slowly to check if the sensor detects teeth. Keep in mind that the TITAN reads the sensors much quicker than the GCS.

18. Use solvent to clean trigger elements. Next, paste the smaller sticker (trigger sticker) on

the at surface.

19. Paste one trigger anti-backlash sticker inside the moving element of the trigger.

Notice

The stickers reduce space between the trigger and the moving element, so as the trigger works more precisely. Installation kit includes three stickers of dierent thickness.

20. Aer pasting the rst sticker, assemble both trigger elements and estimate the clearance between them. If you feel that there is still some clearance, you can use next stickers. Remember that trigger should work smoothly.

21. All the steps performed ‘inside the gearbox’ are nished. Now you can assemble the gearbox. Do not use too much grease. In a critical situation, excessive grease may cover a sensor.

22. In some replicas (G36, UMP, etc.) you need to modify the mechanical trigger lock, because

it is too long and touches the TITAN top board. In this case, grind the protruding element by around 1.5/2mm [0.06/0.08 in].

23. Aer the modication, check if the mechanical trigger lock touches the TITAN

top board. If it does not touch the board, you can take the next step.

24. Install the remaining external gearbox components and start the wiring placement. You can use the picture below or your previous wiring as a suggestion.

25. Prepare the selector plate following the steps below. If the plate is a standard one (AK,

most of G36, etc.), paste the sticker like in the picture below. If necessary, enlarge the hole in the plate - space between the selector plate border and the sticker border should be approximately 10mm [0.4 in].

26. If there are any issues with the sticker adhesion, modify the selector plate.

27. Finish the gearbox assembly and put it in the replica body. Next,

connect TITAN to PC using USB-Link and perform the sensor calibration

following the calibration instructions from GATE Control Station.

Caution

Calibrate the trigger and selector sensors only aer the gearbox is mounted in the replica body.

9. Functions

TRIGGER SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT

Trigger sensors allow you to control trigger sensitivity. You do not have to disassemble your

AEG. Just use the GATE Control Station app to adjust the trigger to your preferences and level

of skills.

CONFIGURABLE FIRE SELECTOR (gen.2)

Two selector sensors allow you to use up to six re selector modes, including innovative SEMIBURST-AUTO mode:

• SAFE-SEMI-AUTO

• SAFE-SEMI-SEMI

• SAFE-SEMI-BURST

• SAFE-BURST-AUTO

• SAFE-SEMI-BURST/AUTO (short press - BURST, long press - AUTO)

• SEMI-BURST-AUTO (SAFE mode via the fast switch SAFE-SEMI-SAFE)*

*available only for TITAN V3 and V2 NGRS and only aer modications.

CYCLE DETECTION

Thanks to the gear sensor(s), TITAN precisely detects in which position the cycle should nish. Therefore, even the shortest trigger action produces at least one full cycle. Thanks to the cycle detection function you get:

• Automatic BURST – there is no need to set the burst time. You can set the burst between two and 10 shots

• Automatic PRE-COCKING – Pre-cocking is fully operational in SEMI, BURST and

AUTO modes. You can simply set the pre-cocking as high, mid or low;

• Full cycle - when the pre-cocking is o, TITAN ensures that the gearbox completes a full cycle. You gain a higher reliability.

PRE-COCKING (gen.2*)

Victory in the game is oen a matter of fractions of seconds. Thanks to PRE-COCKING, you gain a trigger reaction similar to a real gun. It allows for initial spring compression, which speeds up the trigger response signicantly.

There are two PRE-COCKING MODES:

• AUTO MODE – the spring is automatically compressed aer each shot

• TRIGGER MODE – slow trigger action compresses the

spring, and fast trigger action res the shot.

There are also three PRE-COCKING BOOST options: HIGH / MID / LOW.

*Now the pre-cocking is fully operational in SEMI, BURST and AUTO modes and there is no need to set the pre-cocking boost manually.

You can change Pre-cocking setup via re selector*. Now you do not need to re the shot to switch pre-cocking mode. You can do it in two ways:

a) Switch re selector to SAFE and pull the trigger b) Switch re selector to SEMI, re the shot and keep the trigger pulled

While the trigger is pulled you are able to select pre-cocking mode:

• SAFE = Pre-cocking OFF

• SEMI = Pre-cocking SMART

• AUTO = Pre-cocking AUTO.

*You can turn o this feature by marking o “SEL” button.

Please note: using PRE-COCKING increases wear and tear on the gearbox.

BURST (gen.2*)

The burst enables you to shoot a pre-determined number of BBs, which is very useful in MILSLIM and when using low-caps. The BURST mode is available aer setting the proper re selector mode. There are two BURST modes:

• FULL – every, even the shortest trigger action res the pre-determined number of rounds.

• TRIGGER – releasing the trigger while ring stops the burst sequence.

* There is no need to set burst time. You can easily set burst between two and 10 shots.

ROF CONTROL

This enables a reduction in a gun’s rate of re. You use stronger LiPo batteries, and still have a ROF just like in a real gun.

ROF STAB

It allows you to change the way the ROF Control works:

• ON - ROF Control uses PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) to decrease ROF. Thanks to

this, gearbox works smoothly what decreases wear and tear of AEG internal parts.

• OFF - ROF Control adds breaks between shots to decrease

ROF. It gives you more realistic experience.

SNIPER DELAY It lets you to set delay between each SEMI shot to simulate the delay from reload or recoil. You can set 0.5s, 1s, 2s or 3s delay. You can enable vibration which will inform you when the gun is ready to shoot again by choosing “VIB” option.

SMART TRIGGER

We know how vital the fast trigger response is during combat. This is why we have developed the Smart Trigger function. It enables you to achieve a faster trigger response. It works with the ROF Control System. During the rst shot, the microprocessor sets the ROF Control to 100%. Aer the rst shot, it switches to a previously programmed value (e.g. 50%). As a consequence, the rst shot is red at a full ROF, and subsequent shots at a reduced ROF.

The best results can be achieved by using a battery with a higher than standard voltage. For

example, if you use a 7.4V battery, you can replace it with 11.1V. In this way, you will achieve a faster trigger response with the same rate of re as with a standard battery.

*Works only when ROF STAB is ON.

TWO STAGE TRIGGER

Enjoy two stage trigger. Activate 2-STAGE trigger mode and set two dierent trigger sensitivities. Pulling the trigger slightly produces SEMI or BURST re and pulling the trigger further produces BURST or AUTO re (depending on the re selector mode).

BATTERY PROTECTION (gen.2*)

Protection against over-discharge of the battery. Modern LiPo and LiFe batteries are very sensitive to over-discharge. If you do not want to damage the battery and you care about

its service life, this protection is indispensable. The microprocessor monitors the battery voltage constantly. When the voltage drops down to a critical level, it will not allow ring.

*TITAN detects the number of cells automatically. There is no need to reprogram TITAN every time you replace the battery.

LOW BATTERY Warning

When the battery voltage drops to the specied level (in relation to one cell), the motor will vibrate. You can set: OFF, 3.2V or 3.4V per cell.

SMART FUSE

We have developed an electronic fuse with an accurate current sensor. A combination of current, voltage and temperature measurements makes your AEG installation highly reliable. It protects the MOSFET against overheating, overloading and short-circuiting. If your airso gun becomes jammed, the function protects the motor and battery against

damage.

ADAPTIVE ACTIVE BRAKE

It automatically adjusts the motor’s braking power according to your needs. This prolongs the lifespan of the motor. Now you can also choose your own value depending on your needs.

MOSFET

Do you want to achieve a higher ROF and faster trigger response? Are you planning a power upgrade of your gun? In that case, you need a MOSFET. It targets the energy from the battery directly to the motor, bypassing the mechanical trigger contacts. As a result, you gain a higher ROF of the gun and a faster trigger response.

BUILT-IN SELF-TEST

This allows you to quickly check whether the TITAN is working properly. If any problem occurs, the Diagnostic Trouble Codes will indicate where the problem lies.

COATING

Thanks to its special conformal coating, the unit is resistant to atmospheric conditions (Military Specication: MIL-V-173C).

DEANS-T READY*

The product has factory-tted low-resistance deans-t connector. *except TITAN V2 NGRS

14.8V LI-PO READY

The TITAN can be used with batteries up to and including 14.8V LI-PO. The minimum operating voltage is 3.75V and maximum is 17V.

PRINTED QUICKSTART

Make your adventure start more easily with a new product. The quickstart contains basic information and hints.

TRIGGER SENSITIVITY

Allows you to adjust the trigger to your preferences and level of skills.

30-ROUND LIMIT

An AEG can continuously re max. 30 BBs. To re more BBs, you must release the trigger before. This is a protection against trigger jam. Important: in case of an emergency, you can also stop ring by switching the re selector position.

GEAR RATIO

To make the PRE-COCKING working with the highest level of precision you should dene the gears type in your AEG. Available types: STANDARD, HIGH TORQUE, HIGH SPEED, DSG,

19-TOOTH.

EQUALIZER (dynamic trigger point)

• OFF - to re a next shot, you need to release the trigger until it reaches the selected trigger sensitivity level

• 2LVL - to re a next shot, it is enough to release the trigger so as it changes

the state of two trigger sensors or ~40% of trigger movement

• 1LVL - to re a next shot, it is enough to release the trigger so as it changes the state of one trigger sensor or ~20% of trigger movement

1LVL or 2LVL is especially useful when the trigger sensitivity level is very high. Then you do not need to fully release the trigger while quickly ring on SEMI.
