Using the controller
- Switch “ON” the transmitter and check the throttle channel settings are +/-100%.Set the throttle to “Closed” or brake position.
- Switch on the speed controller. For speed controllers without BEC, switch on the power to receiver.
You must hear a ‘beep’. Between switching on the switch and the ‘beep’ the throttle stick must not be moved. If you do not hear a ‘beep’, switch off the switch, disconnect the power connectors, wait for 5 seconds and repeat the procedure of connecting and switching on.
- If you do not hear ‘beep’ again, check the following:
1). Is the 3 Pin connector plugged in the throttle channel.
2). Is the throttle stick in “closed” position (OFF)?
3). Is the throttle channel in ‘normal’ position?
- You will hear the ‘beep’ during the first switch-on of the controller only. When you switch-off the speed controller without disconnecting the motor battery pack, you will not hear the beep after next switch-on.
- The position of ‘full throttle’ will be adjusted automatically.
- Warning: Once the Motor 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 flight and disconnect it immediately after landing the model.
- Warning: Even when the switch is ‘off’ remember the Motor Battery pack may be connected, handle the model with extreme care and stay well clear of the propeller.
Setting the Propeller Brake On or Off
The speed controller is supplied with the ‘brake’ activated. If you want to turn off the brake, do the following:
1). Switch on the transmitter and move the stick to full throttle.
2). Connect the main power pack and turn on the receiver switch (if used)
3). Wait 5 seconds
4). After 5 seconds you will hear 5 single “beeps”
5). Swiftly move the throttle stick to the closed position; you will hear two “beeps”
6). The brake is now turned off
Setting the Timing Mode
It is possible to set two timing modes with these speed controllers.
1). soft timing –for 2, 4, 6, pole motors. Soft timing gives maximum efficiency.
2). Hard timing only for 6 and more pole motors
Hard timing increases both the motor revolutions and the current (up to 20%) with the same prop and battery pack when compared to soft timing. This is more suitable for faster flying models.
Always use soft timing for first flight. If the temperature of the batteries, speed controller and motor are below 50℃ degrees following the first flights it is possible to test the system using the hard timing mode. Do not use hard timing with 2 pole motors.
Hard timing is recommended for use with out runner type motors-even for the first flights.
The Speed controllers are supplied with soft timing
To change the timing:
1). Switch on the transmitter and move the stick to full throttle
2). Connect the main power pack and turn on the receiver switch and wait 5 seconds
3). After 5 seconds you will hear 4 “beeps”
4). After further 5 seconds you will hear 5 “beeps” for soft timing
5). OR 5 double “beeps” for soft timing
6). The required timing is set by moving the throttle stick to the closed throttle position.
7). The new timing is confirmed by a single “beep”(brake on ) or a double “beep”( brake off).
The timing setting will not change after disconnecting the main power pack.
