7. BEC
MULTIcont BL-30 2in1 speed controllers are equipped with a high-
performance regulator BEC system: the receiver and servos are fed
power from the flight battery via the regulator; no separate receiver
battery is required.
Never connect a separate receiver battery!
Please note that the MULTIcont BL-30 2in1 speed controller BEC
power supply can only deliver a limited current to the receiving
system in the model:
The actual current drawn by a servo varies according to its
performance, the frequency of commands and – in particular – the
freedom of movement of the control surface linkages (!). This means
that it is essential to measure the current drain of the servos in the
model before the first flight, and at regular intervals thereafter.
If you have no means of measuring the BEC current: carry out a test
run on the ground: operate the servos in a "normal" way (similar to
flying the model) until the low-voltage cut-off is triggered (i.e. battery
flat). At this point the speed controller should be no more than warm
to the touch, and the servos must work properly all the time, without
ever threatening to fail or move erratically.
Note: disabling the BEC system
The BEC system must be disabled, and a separate receiver battery
must be used instead, if:

the model carries more servos, or servos with a higher current
drain, than is permissible for the selected battery
( 2.), or

problems are evident during the test-run
Disabling the BEC system: locate the UNI connector attached to the
three-core lead and remove the red wire (+). Insulate the bare metal
parts with a heat-shrink sleeve.

OW VOLTAGE CUT
If the battery voltage falls to the low-voltage threshold, the controller
automatically cuts off power to the motor. This ensures that sufficient
energy is available for the BEC power supply to allow a safe landing
to be carried out. A steady decline in motor speed is a further
indication that the flight battery is almost discharged; you should
initiate the landing as soon as you become aware of this.
If the controller cuts the motor, it can be switched on again briefly if
required by momentarily moving the throttle stick to the motor OFF
position (Reset function).
Note: do not use the low-voltage reset function more than
once or twice
Repeated throttling back to re-arm the motor may dis-charge the
flight battery to the point where the receiver power supply falters and
fails. Note that LiPo flight batteries can be permanently damaged if
they are deep-discharged.
