Description of functions:
1. Setting the brake:
Brake: ON / OFF
. Preset = Brake OFF
2. Battery type: Li-xx (Li-Ion or Li-Poly) = Li-xx.
3. Low voltage cut-off mode.
Soft (power reduced) or hard (full cut-off).
Default = reduced power
4. Low voltage cut-off:
Low / medium / high.
Default = Medium
1) For
Li-Ion / LiPo batteries, the cell-count is automatically recognised. Cut-off
voltage low / medium / high at:
2.85 V / 3.15 V / 3.3 V. e.g.: medium cut-off voltage with 3 LiPo cells:
3.15 x 3=9.45 V. 2).
5. Start-up / Power-on mode:
Normal / Soft / Super-soft,
Default = Nor-
mal
Normal is suitable for fixed-wing model aircraft. The start-up speed
at the soft / super-soft settings is fairly slow at one second (soft start)
/ two seconds (super-soft start) measured from start-up to full-throttle.
If the throttle is closed (throttle stick moved back to Idle) then opened
again (throttle stick advanced) within three seconds of initial start-up,
the controller switches automatically to Normal mode in order to prevent
crashes due to retarded throttle response.
6. Timing:
Low / medium / high,
default = low.
Low timing can be selected for most motors. For high power we
recommend low timing for two-pole motors, and medium timing for
motors with six or more poles. For higher rotational speeds the High
timing setting can be used.
Caution: setting the timing too high
can cause problems!
Programming:
1. Start programming mode:
1) Switch transmitter on, move throttle stick fully forward, then connect
battery
2) Wait 2 seconds, then “beep-beep” sound should be emitted
3) Wait a further 5 seconds, then the special sound "56789" should be
emitted: this means that programming mode has started.
2. Select menu:
In programming mode, you will hear eight beep sequences. If you move
the throttle stick to the Stop position and hear a tone sequence within 3
seconds, then the appropriate set-up menu has been selected.
1) “beep”
Brake
(1 short beep)
2) “beep-beep-”
Battery type
(2 short beeps)
3) “beep-beep-beep-”
Cut-off mode
(3 short beeps)
4) “beep-beep-beep-beep-” Cut-off voltage
(4 short beeps)
5) “beep-----”
Start-up mode
(1 long beep)
6) “beep-----beep-”
Timing
(1 long, 1 short beep)
7) “beep-----beep-beep-“ Default setting
(1 long, 2 short beeps)
8) “beep-----beep-----”
Interruption
(2 long beeps)
3. Select settings:
You will hear sequences of beeps. Move the throttle stick forward
to confirm your desired value in accordance with the sequence of
beeps. You will then hear the special beep "1515"; this confirms and
stores the value. (leave throttle stick forward, then Point 2) and you
can select and alter additional menu points.
