6.

Move the throttle stick to middle-stick position for two seconds. You should hear
the motor beep again.

7.

Move the throttle stick back to full-low for two seconds. You should hear the
motor beep twice and your 

Fusion 35

 is now armed.

Note:

If electrical noise becomes excessive, or if radio signal is lost for more than two
seconds, the 

Fusion 35

 will disarm and stop the motor. To rearm, hold the throttle

stick in full-low for four seconds.

Optional RF Filter

The 

Fusion 35

 controller includes built-in filter capacitors to reduce the radio

interference generated by electric motors commonly referred to as “radio-frequency
interference,” “RF noise” or “electrical noise”. 

DO NOT

 install additional filter

capacitors between the motor power cables and motor case because this will
interfere with the proper operation of the 

Fusion 35

 controller.

If radio interference becomes a problem, you may install a single 0.1 µF ceramic disk
capacitor between the unused motor solder tabs. This will reduce electrical noise.
After modifying or adding filter capacitors, always test your motor, controller and
radio before flying.

Warning!

DO NOT USE TANTALUM OR ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITORS AS ELECTRICAL
NOISE FILTERS BECAUSE THEY CAN EXPLODE AND/OR CAUSE FIRES AND
BURNS.

Cable Connections

The 

Fusion 35

 controller includes a factory-installed Lite Machines connector on the

battery power cable. You must install a corresponding Lite Machines connector to the 
wire leads on your battery pack and check the connections to your controller to insure 
proper polarity.

Generally, the red (positive) wire of your speed controller should be connected to the
red (positive) wire on your battery pack. Similarly, the black (negative) wires should
be connected to each other. For more information on battery connections, see the

Battery

 section of the 

Corona

 Construction Manual.

The push-on, spade-style connecters on the motor side of your 

Fusion 35

 controller

should fit firmly onto the solder tabs of your 

Electro-Fusion

 motor. If the tabs are too

loose or too tight, adjust them carefully with a pliers or small screw driver.
