01. Overview
NanoHARD is a multifunctional programmable AEG Controller. It has 8 functions.
Thanks to its special coating, it is resistant to atmospheric conditions (Military
Specification MIL-V-173C). Battery protection supports: Li-Po 7.4V / 11.1V / 14.8V.
You can also disable the protection and use other batteries.

Key Functions
Do you want to achieve higher rate of fire and faster trigger response?
Are you planning power upgrade of your rifle? 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 rate
of fire of the rifle and faster trigger response, and the contacts
are protected against burn out.
MOSFET
Modern LiPoly 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 constantly monitors
the battery voltage. When it drops down to a critical level, it will not
permit firing.
Protection against Over-Discharge of Battery (UVP Protection)
This provides full compatibility with the micro-switches. It is fully
resistant to contact bounce. You gain a bigger ROF, a faster trigger
response and your MOSFET is less prone to heating.
Debouncing (Digital Interface)
The usage of modern transistors and microcontroller has enabled us
to create the smallest and most reliable AEG Controller in the market.
3rd Generation MOSFET
14.8V LI-PO Ready
The system can be used with batteries up to 14.8V LI-PO. Minimum
operating voltage is 3V and maximum voltage is 17V.

USER GUIDE
Coating
Thanks to its special conformal coating, it is resistant to atmospheric
conditions (Military Specification MIL-V-173C).
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 airsoft gun becomes jammed, the function protects the motor
and battery against damage.
The Controller provides you with the opportunity to decide if you
want to use the Active Brake function. If you do not need this, you can
turn it off easily. It will lead to improving the lifespan of your motor.
ON/OFF Active Brake
Do you care about realism? Would you like to increase the life of the
gearbox? Does your rifle have such a high rate of fire that you are not
able to make a single shot? The Active Brake sorts things out. In SEMI
Mode, the brake does not allow for compressing a piston after a shot.
The piston will stop in the front position which eliminates
unnecessary stresses, increasing the service life of the gearbox and its
parts. This is important, especially with an AEG power upgrade. After
releasing the trigger, the rifle immediately stops firing. So, you gain
more realism and, additionally, you do not waste your precious
ammunition.
Active Brake
Built-In Self-Test
It allows you to quickly check whether the AEG Controller works
properly. If you have problems with your AEG, the BUILT-IN SELF-TEST
allows you to check that the problem is not caused by the Controller.

02. Installation
To adapt the standard AEG installation to work with NanoHARD it is necessary to
get to the trigger contacts. In case of GB v2 contacts these are located inside a
gearbox. With a version 3 gearbox, the installation will be easier because the
contacts are on the outside of the gearbox. Please consult a local airsoft technician if
you have never disassembled a gearbox before or if you have any installation
concerns.

DANGER! Incorrectly connecting positive and negative battery terminals
will cause immediate damage to the unit and it can lead to fire.
a) Installation of NanoHARD without replacement of wires. Using this method, the
original wiring is kept intact, and the connections are modified. Referencing Fig 1.,
de-solder A wire from the one of the trigger contacts and then solder it to the B wire.
It does not matter which wire you disconnect from the trigger switches, just join the
two wires together at one terminal. In the place of the A wire, solder the additional
single signal wire (No. 04 – provided in the kit). The GATE wire is very thin because it
handles very low current and it is only used for switch-detection. Now connect the
device between the battery and AEG. Do not forget about the signal wire. Connect it
to the top pin.

b) Installation of NanoHARD with replacement of wires. Replacing the existing
AEG wiring with high-quality, low-resistance wiring in conjunction with the
installation of a MOSFET allows for the ultimate in system efficiency. 16 awg or
thicker wire is recommended. Solder the dual signal wire (No. 03 – provided in the
kit) to the trigger contacts. Connect the motor directly to the NanoHARD.
