1. Disclaimer
Thank you for purchasing the T30S hand-held ground control station. Please use it in
accordance with the local radio control regulations and read this statement carefully
before using it. Once used, it shall be deemed to endorse and accept all contents of this
statement. Please strictly follow this instruction to install and use the product. The
supplier will not bear any legal liability for any result or loss caused by improper use,
installation, final assembly or modification of the product.
2. Product Precautions
1) T30s, the ground terminal (hereinafter referred to as ground unit) is used with the
airborne unit (hereinafter referred to as airborne unit).
2) T30s has different versions based on the different data link.
✱If with only data link, the matched airborne end is R20.
✱If with video&data link, the matched airborne ends are V20 and V30.
V20: 5km grade module, frequency band: 2.3GHz/2.4GHz/2.5GHz;
V30: 15km grade module, frequency band: 800MHz/1.4GHz
3) The ground unit has a built-in 12V battery (lithium battery 3s), the airborne unit needs
external power supply input DC7.4-12V (lithium battery 2s-3s), please follow the
specification to power the radio.
4) If you use it improperly, the aircraft may cause some degree of injury and damage to
people and property, please pay attention to safety when using.
5) In order to serve our customers better, our R & D team has been upgrading and
optimizing our products, the corresponding software and firmware will be updated from
time to time, there may be incompatibility between different firmware versions of the
ground unit and airborne unit, so please remember to check the software firmware
version when using. For more information, pls refer to our website for the latest firmware
and technical support.
6) Example of basic software firmware version: Parameters setting software:
HZY_ToolBench V1.2.3.4; Ground unit firmware: TTx30-1.2.3-1.0; Airborne unit V20
firmware: V20RX-1.2.3-1.00; Airborne end V30 firmware: V30RX-1.2.3-1.0.

7) The software, firmware, drivers, port conversion tools, etc. will be updated from time
to time on our website, please visit our website to download, or contact customer service
staff to obtain them.
8) If you encounter any problem during the installation or use , please contact us
2.1. Installation Note
1) Be sure to use the spare parts provided by our company.
2) Be sure to install the antennas before power on to avoid damage to the circuit.
3) Try to make the receiver antenna without obstruction, and the end part of the antenna
is vertically downward without bending, so as to avoid shortening the communication
distance or even failing to communicate due to obstruction.
4) Do not disassemble or refit without permission. If you encounter any problem that
cannot be solved during installation, please contact us directly.
5) During installation, keep proper distance between electronic devices to minimize
electromagnetic interference.
2.2. Precautions for Use
1) Before use, please make sure that all connection wires are fastened reliably and all
parts work normally.
2) Please open the configuration software of the remote control and check whether the
channels are normal after power-on.
3) Please check the surrounding environment to ensure that there is no interference from
other devices, otherwise T30s data transmission performance will be seriously affected.
4) Ensure that the antennas are free from obstacles and bends during use, and stay away
from large metal structural parts as far as possible to avoid communication obstruction.
5) Check the power of the remote control before use. If the parameter adjustment
software shows that power is low, please charge the remote control timely. If the remote
control is turned off, the receiver has entered the state of out-of-control protection. Stop
using it when the battery is too low. Don't rely on the device's low-power alarm, which is
only a precaution and tells you when to charge. It takes about 5-6hs to be fully charged.
3. Product Introduction
T30s is a hand-held ground control station that integrates remote control, data
transmission and ground station.
T30s is highly integrated, small size, easy operation, multichannel adjustable, dual S-BUS
outputs and so on.
Compared with the last generation, the computer performance configuration has been
greatly improved, and the remote-control circuit design is optimized.
- 6 -
The channel number has increased from 16 to 23, and the anti-interference of data
transmission and power supplies have also been optimized. Dual S-BUS can be mapped
randomly in 8 analog channels, 4 three-position switches, and 11 buttons.
Multi frequency can be chosen between 840MHz, 915MHz, 1.4GHz, and 2.3-2.5GHz. Stable
data transmission can be provided at distances of 3-30km based on different data link
versions and application environment. It can be widely used in the field of control and
data transmission for industrial drones.
