 The bottom right three terminals are for connecting the external speaker. There is a 12 V connection, a ground connection, and a line level audio output connection. The speaker has three wires. The red wire is connected to the 12 V terminal. The black wire is connected to the ground terminal. The white wire is connected to the line level audio output terminal. If you do not wish to use the speaker such as in the case of long-range rifle training you can leave the speaker disconnected. The external speaker is waterproof and has its own internal 10 W amplifier. On the front of the speaker there is a volume knob. This is also a power switch. When you hear a click as you turn it, the speaker will be turned on.
-On the left side of the terminal block, there is a pushbutton and an LED. The pushbutton is used to initiate a target raise or target lower order to activate and deactivate scenario mode. The LED indicates that the unit is powered and it will also flash in certain circumstances such as when the target is hit and as a warning before the target raises or lowers.

 There are also external input and output connections on the lower left terminal block. The external input can be used with devices such as a pressure pad, a pushbutton, connected to another Hannibal target, or connected to a TRACS robot’s external device control. These external input device accessories are sold separately. The external output can be configured to activate on hit signals, kill signals, or both. The external output can be used to control various devices such as a bright indicator light, a suicide vest simulator, or another Hannibal target.

−	Thank you for purchasing the Hannibal reactive target system. Hannibal is constructed from AR 500 ballistic resistant steel and is capable of lifting standard military Ivan targets as well as heavier plastic manikins. The system is designed to operate by itself or mounted on one of the ~~tracks~~ robots. Hannibal senses bullet impacts on the target and can react in a variety of ways. Hannibal has a sound system and can interface with external input and output devices for even more realistic training. We hope you enjoy Hannibal. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us.	+	Thank you for purchasing the Hannibal reactive target system.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us.

	Before we get started, I want to take the time to talk about safety. Be sure you review and understand each section of this manual. The system has many moving parts and a very high torque motor. Keep arms and fingers away from the platform arms and other moving parts. The lithium polymer battery can discharge large amounts of power. Carefully observe color-coded wiring connections before connecting the battery. While charging the battery, do not leave unattended. Inspect all wiring for any cuts or abrasions. Double check all connections before turning on the main power switch. Failure to observe safety practices can result in serious injury. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us.

	In the Effects section, you can enable the Flinching feature which is a non-fatal hit response. You can also configure the choice of sound played on the external speaker for hits or kills and you can set the drop speed of a kill in number of seconds.		In the Effects section, you can enable the Flinching feature which is a non-fatal hit response. You can also configure the choice of sound played on the external speaker for hits or kills and you can set the drop speed of a kill in number of seconds.
		+
		+	==== Target Lift ====
		+
		+	Target Lifting is what happens when the target resets to the standing position.
		+	The first setting is the Target Lift Mode. This can be set to Automatic or External Input. When set to Automatic, the target will automatically raise when the time specified by the Auto Lift Delay Time has elapsed.
		+	When set to External Input, the system looks for a "switch" connected to the Ext. In terminal and the Gnd terminal on the Terminal Block to close. For example, a wireless remote triggered by the instructor.
		+	The second and third setting specify the number of seconds of delay before the target is raised when in Auto mode. When the two numbers are different, a new random delay is chosen each time the target raises. Again, the benefit here is to prevent the student from anticipating when the target will do something.
		+	You can set a Lift Sound choice for added realism and you can set the number of seconds it takes to raise the target with the Lift Speed setting.
		+
		+	==== External I/O ====
		+
		+	An example of an External Input device might be a pressure pad on the floor. The target could be positioned in a room behind a desk or sofa and the pressure pad placed in the doorway. When the student enters the room, the target can pop up from behind cover.
		+	The External Input has three settings. First is the Action. Action is what happens when the External Input is triggered. The target can Raise, Lower, Raise/Lower or do nothing. In the Raise/Lower mode, triggering the External Input will drop the target if it's up and raise it if it's down. In the None mode, the External Input can still be used to trigger the Taunting sound system (see below).
		+
		+	The External Input Delay Time sets the number of seconds or a random time before executing the action. For example, entering the room, stepping on the pressure pad but the target may wait a second or two before popping up so as to surprise the student.
		+
		+	On the Hannibal terminal block is a screw labeled "Ext. Out". This is a digital output line that can be used to control external devices in response to hit shots and/or kill shots on either sensor channel.
		+	The first setting determines which of the sensor channels will trigger the digital output, Channel (Sensor) 1, Channel 2, or both.
		+	The second setting determines under what condition the digital output is triggered: On hits, On kills, On both, or neither.
		+	The third setting specifies what the default logic state of the digital output is: Normally On or Normally Off. The choice to use will depend on the type of device you want to control
		+	The fourth setting sets a delay time for triggering the external output.
		+	The fifth setting sets the length of the logic pulse.
		+
		+	Some examples of External Output devices might be a simple strobe light or a suicide vest simulator. It is also possible to trigger additional Hannibal targets.
		+
		+	==== Bobbing ====
		+
		+	The Bobbing feature is intended to simulate the movement of a person on a boat.
		+	The first setting turns bobbing mode on and off. When it's on, bobbing can be activated from the main screen of the app or the target must be dropped and raised by a hit and a reset event in order to activate the bobbing for the next evolution.
		+	The bobbing behavior can either be randomized or be a consistent amount.
		+	The bob period setting is the time in seconds that the target moves up and down in.
		+	The last setting determines how far down the bottom of the bobbing movement will be.
		+
		+	==== Taunting ====
		+
		+	The Taunting system makes use of the external speaker for added realism. It can be used to entice the student into a shoot/no-shoot situation.
		+	The first setting determines what event will trigger the sound. A periodic timer can be used, an External Input device, or both.
		+	The second setting determines the sound choice.
		+	If Periodic or Both taunting mode is specified, a time specified by the Taunt period (in minutes and seconds) is chosen at random and the sound will play when that timer elapses.
		+
		+	==== Scenario ====
		+
		+	Hannibal has a Scenario mode that's intended for use in a shoot house environment. When activated, the system will set a default position for the target and then periodically play sounds intended to distract and make the student anxious. In a typical shoot house situation, students often take their time clearing rooms and move methodically through the building. By introducing sound to the environment, you can challenge the student in new ways.
		+	The first setting determines whether the target is standing or crouched down (behind cover) when the scenario begins.
		+	The second setting determines the action taken when an external input device e.g. pressure pad is triggered.
		+	You can also enable taunting and ambient sound playback and ambient sound timing can be set as desired.
		+
		+	Once you have configured Scenario mode, you can activate the scenario from the main screen of the app or by pressing and holding the button on the terminal block for several seconds. The system will play "Scenario Activated" to let you know that the scenario has begun. Pressing and holding the button again for several seconds will deactivate the scenario and the system will play "Scenario completed".
