VTX series instructions

Simple wiring

On the 6 way multicore control wire, yellow is

internally connected to bve. White and black

may also be bve (depending on the control

switches). Green is battery -ve and blue and red are

the control pot. A short circuit in the wiring between

these two groups will cause problems!

Boxed version: Wire colours are as shown in the

diagram above.

Control Fuse

Note the 1A fuse in the yellow wire. If this is omitted,

a mistake in the wiring can blow fuse tracks on the

controller. Controllers returned for repair with the

fuse tracks blown will be subject to a handling

charge. See page 15.

Battery Fuse

Note the fuse in the battery line: this is partially to

give a useful measure of protection against a reversed

battery. It will also protect against some other wiring

faults. The boxed VTX-75 has a 40 amp fuse (25A

for VTX-40) fitted but the controller may draw more

than this depending on the application. A larger fuse

can be fitted, but will give less protection. Use the

smallest value fuse which does not cause nuisance

blowing: if the controller is giving more current than

it can readily handle it will simply get hot. See also

pages 7 and 8.

Motor Capacitor

See page 13.

Push buttons

Instead of two switches (ignition and

forward / reverse) you may use two

push-and hold buttons. Wiring is

shown left: note the extra diode (any

small signal diode, e.g. 1N4148).

Without this, reverse will not work.

The diode's Cathode (the end with the

band) should be connected to White.
