EATURES
- Small dimensions combined with high power motor control.
- Over- and undervoltage protection, overtemperature protection, motor-stall protection.
- Configurable current limiter.
- Optically isolated throttle input.
- Safety shutdown when the throttle impulse is lost.
- Configurable acceleration, timing, electromagnetic brake etc.
- Low acoustic noise due to high frequency switching.
- Automatic telemetry detection: Duplex EX, Hott, MSB, S.Bus2. Alternative firmware with Spektrum
SRXL2 telemetry support.
- Telemetry (RC system dependent): voltage, current, power, capacity, temperature, RPM, energy.
- Telemetry min/max values are logged.
- Configuration through the transmitter or external terminal (JETIBOX/SMART-BOX).
- Firmware updates via USB interface.
- Languages: CZ/DE/EN/FR/IT.

NSTALLATION
Fasten the controller in your model by the screws. Alternatively, you can use Velcro or double-sided adhesive
tape for fixing. Connect the motor and receiver according to the schematic below. You may connect the motor
cables in arbitrary order, as changing direction is done by exchanging any of the two cables (alternatively also
by the “Direction” parameter in the configuration). Turn on the transmitter followed by the receiver – the
receiver uses a dedicated battery. Now you can plug in the main flight pack.
