Commissioning
1.
Set the throttle control lever of your remote control in the lowest position (motor off).
2.
Connect the rechargeable battery to the speed controller.
Always observe correct polarity of the connection cables!
Red = plus (+) and black = minus (-).
The controller now performs a self-test and emits 3 brief sounds with increasing pitch via the applied voltage to indicate
that the applied voltage is in the normal range. Then 2 – 4 brief sounds are emitted depending on number of cells.
Finally, a long signal sound indicates the end of the self-test and readiness of the controller for operation.
If the connected motor does not emit any signals, check correct wiring.
If the controller only emits two brief sounds after the 3 brief sounds with increasing pitch, the correct position of
the throttle control lever is recognised as full throttle position. In this case, put the control lever in the correct
position or press the servo reverse function at the transmitter for the throttle channel.
If the controller emits sounds in groups of 2, the connected operating voltage of the speed controller is too low or
too high. In this case, check the connected rechargeable battery.
3.
Because every transmitter has slightly different control signals, the actually present control path must be stored in the
speed controller. The precise procedure is described in the following section „Teaching the Throttle Control Path“.
Alarm Sounds
Input voltage outside of the permissible area:
During operation, the sped controller checks the operating voltage. If it is outside of the permissible voltage range, the
speed controller emits a warning signal via the connected motor. Two signal sounds are emitted at a cyclic interval of approx.
1 second.
Transmitter signal is not recognised:
If the transmitter signal is not recognised during activation, controller emits a brief signal sound via the motor at an interval
of 2 seconds. Once a valid transmitter signal is recognised, the speed controller switches to normal operating mode.
Throttle control lever in the wrong position:
If the throttle control lever is not in the bottom-most position, the motor connected to the speed controller emits brief
signals at an interval of 0.25 seconds. If the control lever is put in the bottom-most position, 2 – 4 brief sounds are emitted
depending on number of cells, and readiness for operation is then put in the bottom-most position. Then operational
readiness is indicated with a long sound.
Protective Functions
Problems at motor start-up:
If the motor does not start up within 2 seconds of activating the throttle, the protective switch of the speed controller
switches off the motor. For repeated motor start-up after removal of the problem, the control lever first has to be returned
to the bottom-most position (motor off). A possible cause for incorrect motor start-up can be mechanical blocks of the motor
or gear, as well as incorrect connection between the motor and speed controller.
Overheating protection:
If the speed controller exceeds the max. permissible operating temperature during operation, the output power is automatically
reduced.
Transmitter signal is not recognised:
If the transmitter signal is not recognised for 1 second in operation, the controller reduces the output power. If the
transmitter signal is not recognised for more than 2 seconds, the drive motor is switched off.
