1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations for buying this state of the art brushless and brushed speed controller. It is adapted for 
use with high ef

fi

 cient and powerful brushless motors.

Important notice: Please read this manual carefully before using your controller. Only then can you have 
full pro

fi

 t of the potential of your controller, and avoid mistakes.

2. WARNINGS:

The controller‘s CE certi

fi

 cate doesn‘t unbind users from their obligation to use ultimate caution

• 

Should the motor refuse to start up, or after a crash, then you should immediately set the transmitter‘s 

• 
 

control stick to the OFF position to avoid any overload to the controller.
Use only motors delivered by GM-Racing or Graupner which are designed for the intended range of

• 
 voltages!

Use only high performance batteries by Graupner or GM-Racing. Using batteries with an increased

• 
 

internal resistance may lead to the destruction of the controller! Do never use a power supply.
Never leave your transmitter unattended when a battery is connected. In case of a de

fi

 ciency this

• 
 

may cause an outbreak of 

fi

 re on the model or its environment.

Neither the controller nor any other electronic components should ever come in touch with water.

• 
 

Protect the controller against dust, dirt, humidity, vibrations, or other dangerous elements (with the

 

exception of water-sealed controllers).
Never run the motor on a separate battery. This will destroy the controller or the motor, and leads to 

• 
 

the loss of our warranty.
Never mix up polarities. Use plug systems which offer protection against wrong polarity. Avoid short-

• 
      circuiting and blocking the motors.

All cables and connectors should have good insulation. Short-circuits may lead to the destruction 

• 
      of your motor.

This product isn‘t designed for use by children under the age of 14, it isn‘t a toy!

• 

Graupner-controllers are designed for use in battery-driven, radio-controlled models only, any other

• 
      use is not permissible. Using this device on a passenger-carrying model is forbidden!

Motors, gears or gearboxes, and propellers are dangerous objects. Never keep next to or in front of 

• 
      the danger area of the drive!

Technical defects or failures of mechanical or electronic parts may lead to an unexpected start-up of 

• 
      the motor, with parts of it 

fl

 ying off, maybe causing severe injuries.

Always check the service range of transmission of your model 

fi

 rst thing while it‘s still on the ground

• 
      (hold the model tightly!). Try again with motor on and also with fast changes of the throttle stick.

Don‘t make any changes on the structure and design of your controller unless they are described 

• 
      in the manual!
