For this, always observe the technical data in these operating instructions. If the threshold values
are not observed, the motor and/or speed controller can be destroyed.
Loss of guarantee/warranty!
For full load capacity, we recommend an optional fan to be installed on the heat dissipater. The controller
offers a connection option for this.
• Both speed controller and the battery can become very hot during operation. Danger of burning!
• Handle the product with care. It can be damaged by impact, blows or when dropped even from a low height.
• Do not leave packaging material unattended. It may become a dangerous toy for children.
• When operating vehicles, make sure that no body parts or other objects come into contact with moving parts.
Risk of injury!
• Always use a battery pack to operate the speed controller. Never use a wall power supply.
• Only connect a single carbon-brush motor to the speed controller.
• The speed controller is not suitable for the operation of brushless motors with three connections!
• When installing the components, keep the greatest possible distance between the receiver and the speed
controller/motor to avoid interference.
• Do not install the aerial cable of the receiver in a parallel position to current-carrying cables. Do not coil up
the aerial cable. For example, use an aerial tube which protrudes from the vehicle in a perpendicular position.
• Always turn on the transmitter first and put the throttle in neutral position. Then the speed controller may be
connected to a battery pack and switched on. When switching off, proceed in reverse order – first switch off
the speed controller and disconnect it from the rechargeable batters, then switch off the transmitter.
• When the model is operated, the speed controller must be cooled sufficiently. For extreme loads we
recommend the optional fan.
• Do not block the drive. The resulting currents may destroy the motor and/or speed controller.
• Observe a smooth drive section and perform regular maintenance.
• Check the vehicle and the speed controller/motor for damage. If you discover any damage, do not operate
the vehicle or the speed controller/motor anymore.
• Before recharging the rechargeable battery, disconnect it from the speed controller.
Installation
• If the product is to be used as a replacement for an existing speed controller, first remove the old speed
controller from your model.
• Install the speed controller in the chassis. Choose a position which is as far away as possible from the
receiver. The speed controller should not be directly next to the motor either.
• You can use Velcro or double-sided tape to attach the speed controller. The speed controller must be
installed so that the cooling body is exposed to sufficient driving wind (cooling air).
• Connect the cables of the speed controller to those of the motor. Observe the colour coding. The forward/
reverse motion of the motor is then correct in combination with the speed controller. Blue cable = motor
minus, yellow cable = motor plus.
If the motor is rotating in the wrong direction (depending on the transmission of the vehicle) simply swap the
two motor connections. The motor now rotates in the opposite direction.
• The on/off switch should be attached so that it can be operated easily. Use Velcro or double-sided tape to
attach the switch.
• Install all cables so that they cannot become entangled in rotating or moving parts of the vehicle. Use cable
ties to secure them.
Connection to the Receiver
Connect the three-pole plug of the speed controller to the corresponding channel of the receiver. Make sure
the assignment on the receiver is correct (see operating instructions of the receiver as well as the information
on the receiver).
Yellow/white/orange cable: Control signal
Red cable: Operating voltage
Brown/black cable: Minus/GND/Earth
Since the speed controller is equipped with a BEC, no receiver battery or rechargeable battery
must be used! The receiver is powered directly through the speed controller by the vehicle battery.
If a separate receiver is to be used instead of the integrated BEC, the middle, red, wire of the three-
pole receiver plug of the speed controller must be interrupted. If this is not observed, the speed
controller will be destroyed! Loss of guarantee/warranty!
Programming
The speed controller can be programmed very easily with a single button
As an option, a programming card is available to make it even easier to perform the settings. For this, observe
the notes in the operating instructions for the programming card
Programming without programming card
• Switch off the speed controller.
• Connect the speed controller servo plug with the receiver. Ensure correct polarity of the servo plug (black
= minus/-)
• Switch on the transmitter.
• Keep the programming button in the on/off switch pressed with a pointed tool (e.g. a ballpoint pen) and switch
on the speed controller (do not let go!). The speed controller emits some signal sounds. Then let go of the
button. The LEDs in the switch and the speed controller flash slowly (short red, long brake).
The speed controller is now in the programming mode “reverse power”. Press the button in the switch shortly.
The LEDs flash twice. You are now in the programming mode “start power”. Press the button again briefly
and the LEDs will flash three times.
Now you can set “drag brake”. Press the button again, and the LEDs flash four times. Now you can set “battery
type”.
• Briefly press the button in the switch to select a programming mode. After selecting a mode, keep the button
in the switch pressed for approx. one second again until the controller emits a sound sequence again. Now
the LED in the switch (red) and the LED in the controller (red/green) flash. Now you can reprogram the
selected function (e.g. “reverse power”).
Carbon-Series Speed Controller
10 Turns/200A
Item no. 20 91 36
Intended Use
The speed controller is used for smooth electronic speed control for carbon-brush motors and is connected
to a free channel of the receiver in a model vehicle. The control unit is programmed with the help of the
integrated programming card.
Optionally, a programming card is available to enable even easier programming.

Safety Information
Attention! The guarantee/warranty will be void if damage is incurred resulting from non-
compliance with the operating instructions. We do not assume any responsibility for
consequential damage!
We do not assume any liability for damage to property or personal injury caused by
improper use or the failure to observe the safety instructions! In such cases the warranty/
guarantee is void.
• The unauthorized conversion and/or modification of the product is prohibited for safety and approval
reasons (CE). Never disassemble the product. There are no components inside the housing that need to

• The product is not a toy and must be kept out of the reach of children!
• The product should not be allowed to become damp or wet.
• Disconnect the rechargeable battery from the speed controller whenever the speed controller is not needed.
The speed controller can be temporarily switched off using the on/off switch.
• Always turn on the transmitter first before connecting the speed controller with the battery and switching it

• Before turning off the transmitter, turn off the speed controller and, if necessary, disconnect it from the battery.
• The speed controller is designed for 6-7 cell NiMH/NiCd batteries or 2 cell LiPo or LiFe batteries.
• The maximum permissible speed controller output is limited to 1056 Watt for 5 minutes. Depending on the
battery voltage used, this results in different maximum permissible currents.
