Electronic speed controller operation
Using the speed controller:
• Switch ON the transmitter and check the throttle channel settings are +/-100% (for the computers radios). Set the throttle to closed or
brake position.
• Switch on the speed controller (or connect the power pack).
• You must hear a 'beep'. Between switching on and the 'beep' the throttle stick must not be moved. If you do not hear a 'beep', switch off,
disconnect the power, wait for 5 seconds and repeat the procedure.
• If you do not hear 'beep' again, check the following:
o
Is the servo connector plugged into throttle channel ?
o
Is the throttle stick in "closed" position (off) ?
o
Is the throttle channel in "normal" position?
• The position of "full throttle" will be adjusted automatically
• Warning: once the battery pack is connected, handle the model with extreme care! Ensure that you are well clear of the propeller at all
times. Rotating propellers are extremely dangerous!
• Always connect the motor battery pack just before fl ight and disconnect it immediately after landing the model.
• Warning: Even when the switch is "off" remember the battery pack may be connected, handle the model with extreme care and stay well
clear of the propeller!
Setting the brake:
• All controllers are supplied with brake on.
• How to change the brake
o
Switch on the transmitter and move the stick to "full throttle"
o
Connect the main power pack and turn on the receiver switch (if used)
o
Wait 5 seconds, you will hear 4 beeps ( · · - · )
o
Move the throttle stick to closed position
o
You will hear 2 "beeps" to confi rm the brake is off. You will hear these two "beeps" after each controller activation.
o
If you want to activate the brake, disconnect the battery pack and repeat the procedure.
Setting the Timing mode: (if you should use the speed controller in another model)
Timing monitor:
• The controllers have a timing monitor. The monitor gives information about actual timing setting.
• If you wait 5 seconds after activating the controller (after one or two "beeps") you will hear set-up timing mode. It is possible to interrupt
this beeping any time by moving the throttle stick to forward.
• It is possible to change the timing on this generation of speed controllers.
• All controllers are supplied in Timing mode 1 You can change the timing for optimal effi ciency for your type of brushless motor.
Timing mode 1 – (2-5 degrees) optimum timing for 2-pole motors
Timing mode 2 – (18 degrees) optimum timing for 6-pole motors and 4-pole motors.
• How to change the timing:
o
Switch on the transmitter and move the stick to full throttle
o
Connect the main power pack and turn on the receiver switch (if used)
o
Wait 5 seconds, you will hear 4 beeps ( · · - · )
o
Wait another 5 seconds
o
You will hear 5 times a single "beep" – mode 1 ( · , · , · , · , · )
o
5 time two "beeps" – mode 2 ( ·· , ·· , ·· , ·· , ·· )
o
Set the timing mode by moving the throttle stick to the "closed" position between the 1
o
The new timing mode will be confi rmed by a single "beep" (with brake on) or double "beep" (with brake off)
o
The timing mode is now saved and will not change after disconnecting the battery pack.
o
If you want to change the timing mode again, disconnect the motor battery pack and repeat the procedure.
Cut off setting:
•
The speed controller will turn-off the motor when the main power pack voltage falls under 5V or reaches 0,7 V/cell. It depends on
which occurs fi rst. Soft power cut off except if you have the brake turned on.
Notes about operation and Warranty:
• Reversing the motor direction is achieved by the exchanging the position of any two wires connected to the motor.
• Do not exceed the 10 cells or 4-5 servos when using BEC.
• Temperature overload protection is built into the speed controller, it turns off the motor when the temperature reaches 230°F/110°C.
• These speed controllers are equipped with protection functions that take care of correct start and operation of the motor across the
whole range of RPM, current and voltage.
• Do not connect the speed controller to just 'any' kind of power source. Take care to ensure the right polarity of NiCd, NiMH or Lithium
power packs only.
• Respect the polarity of your battery while connecting the speed controller, the speed controller will be severely damaged if the polarity is
incorrect and WILL NOT be covered under warranty.
