Programming via the Setup Button
• Switch on the transmitter. Leave the throttle lever in its neutral position. Connect the driving battery to
the speed controller.
• Switch on the speed controller.
The green LED is lit = reverse movement activated
The yellow LED is lit = reverse movement deactivated
You may have to programme the full throttle and neutral positions first; see section on
"Commissioning".
Programming Rechargeable Battery Type
The appropriate low voltage protection is activated during the initial programming of the battery
type after the initial commissioning of the control unit. For NiCd/NiMH rechargeable batteries,
the shutdown voltage is 4.5 V, for LiPo rechargeable batteries 6.0 V (2 cells) or 9.0 V (3 cells).
• Press and hold the setup button until the red LED lights up. Then release the setup button. The red LED
flashes, you are now in the setting mode for the rechargeable battery type.
• You can select the rechargeable battery type by briefly pressing the setup button. The flash rhythm of
the red LED changes.

• Hold down the setup button for at least 2 seconds; this saves the setting and the programming mode is
exited.
• If the setup button is not pressed for some 10 seconds, the programming mode is automatically exited
without saving the changes to the settings.
Switching Reverse On/Off
• Press and hold the setup button until the blue LED lights up. Then release the setup button. The blue
LED flashes (setting mode for reverse).
• You can switch the reverse mode on or off by briefly pressing the setup button. The flash rhythm of the
blue LED changes.

• Hold down the setup button for at least 2 seconds; this saves the setting and the programming mode is
exited.
• If the setup button is not pressed for some 10 seconds, the programming mode is automatically exited
without saving the changes to the settings.
Setting the Brake Performance
As with nearly all other control units, the direct movement of the throttle lever on the remote control from
forwards to reverse mode activates the brake. However this control unit allows you to adjust the brake
performance to your requirements. Proceed as follows:
• Press and hold the setup button, until the blue and green LEDs come on. After they are lit, release the
setup button. The blue and green LEDs flash (setting mode for brake performance).
• You can select the brake performance by briefly pressing the setup button. The flash rhythm of both LEDs
changes.

• Hold down the setup button for at least 2 seconds; this saves the setting and the programming mode is
exited.
• If the setup button is not pressed for some 10 seconds, the programming mode is automatically exited
without saving the changes to the settings.
Activating and Setting the Parking Brake
As opposed to normal electric motors, the driveshaft of the brushless motor can be easily turned. Thus the
model does not stay still on a slope. Something like a "parking" brake can be activated for this reason.
Proceed as follows:
• Press and hold the setup button, until the blue and yellow LEDs come on. After they are lit, release the
setup button. The blue and yellow LEDs flash (setting mode for parking brake).
• You can activate and deactivate or select the effect of the parking brake by briefly pressing the setup
button. The flash rhythms of the blue and yellow LED change.

without saving the changes to the settings.
Dead Band Setting
The so-called "dead band" setting makes it possible to set the neutral position range of the transmitter (the
section of the throttle lever path to be recognised as neutral position).
• Press and hold the setup button until the blue and red LEDs come on. After they are lit, release the setup
button. The blue and red LEDs flash (setting mode for "Dead Band").
• You can change the setting by briefly pressing the setup button. The flash rhythm of both LEDs changes.

Select Driver Profile
The control unit has 5 pre-programmed driver profiles, which differ in their predefined settings. After
selecting a driver profile the rechargeable battery type (NiCd/NiMH, 2 or 3 cells LiPo) must be correctly set.
• Press and hold the setup button until all four LEDs come on. After they are lit, release the setup button.
The four LEDs flash (setting mode for driver profile).
• You can change the setting by briefly pressing the setup button. The flash rhythm of all four LEDs
changes.

Brake Function & Reverse Mode
When switching between forwards and reverse driving (if activated), the throttle lever must be put in neutral
position shortly (approx. 1 second).
If the throttle lever is shifted directly from forwards to reverse, the control unit's brake will be activated (the
vehicle will NOT go backwards!) The brake performance can be adjusted as described above.

End of Operation
• First switch off the speed controller (put switch in the "OFF" position).
• Separate the rechargeable battery from the speed controller and completely remove the plug connection.
• Now switch off the transmitter.
