Installation:
Thanks to the small size and lightweight of the unit, it can be placed in any place on the
model. We recommend a place where the wiring to the gears be the shorter as possible
to have a clean installation. As the screen is not attached to the unit it can be placed on
a visible/accessible spot.
Power supply considerations:
PLEASE READ!
This controller can receive up to 3 different power sources. In order to prevent
malfunctions in your system you should know that:
The voltage of the main battery connected to the yellow AMASS connector should be of
the voltage adequate for the motors and brakes on your installation. The controller can
work with a battery voltage between 6.4
to 12.0V. But this doesn’t mean that you can
use 12V in systems designed to work at 8V. Motors will be overloaded and burn,
possibly causing damage to the controller. Check the instructions of your LG supplier,
and use the recommended voltage.
Please double check the polarity before connecting it. The damage caused by polarity
reversal is important and not covered by warranty!!!
The battery connected to the AMASS connector powers the motors, the brakes and the
switching regulator that powers the 8 servo outputs. The controller has an internal
switch operated by the
Gear Input
power. It is not necessary to disconnect this battery
between uses, but it is recommended to disconnect it after the flying session. There is a
minimal power drawn from this battery when the unit is switched off that can drain a
battery in a 2-month period.
If battery regulators are used:
The steering servo is powered by the same supply as on the steering input (
Steer In
). So,
for example, if the steering input comes from a battery regulator (power Box, etc.) at 6V
and the
Gear In
channel comes directly from the receiver powered at 5V, the steering
servo will be powered at 6V.
