b) Programming the Special Functions
The speed controller is already pre-programmed with the most sensible pre-settings ex works.
If a LiPo battery is used as a drive battery, check the basic settings of the speed controller for whether
undervoltage protection is activated (usually 3.0 V/cell). With the undervoltage recognition deactivated, the
LiPo battery will suffer deep discharge and be destroyed.
If an NiMH--drive battery is used, deactivate the undervoltage recognition.
The programming can be performed very easily via the setup button.
Proceed as follows for programming:
• Switch on the transmitter if you haven’t done it already.
• Switch off the speed controller („OFF“).
• Keep the setup button (2) next to the on/off switch (1)
pressed and turn the speed controller on („ON“).
Continue to push and hold the setup button (2). Don‘t
release it.
• The LED (3) at the speed controller flashes red; the mo
-
tor emits beeps.
• After some time, the LED (3) flashes green (Keep the
setup button pushed, do not release it!).
The number of green flashes (1x .....5x) shows which setting function is currently selected.
LED flashes green once + 1 beep: Driving function forward/backward or forward only
LED flashes green 2x + 2 beeps: Motor brake
LED flashes green 3x + 3 beeps: Undervoltage recognition for LiPo
LED flashes green 4x + 4 beeps: Start mode when driving off
LED flashes green 5x + 5 beeps: Brake force
The beeps are generated by a short start-up of the brushless motor. These beeps may be very low, depen-
ding on the motor. In this case, observe the LED on the speed controller.
• When the desired setting function that you want to change is displayed (e.g. undervoltage protection, LED flashes
3x green), release the setup button at once.
• Now the red LED flashes again. The number of the flashing signals shows which setting value is active (e.g. under
-
voltage protection 3.0 V/cell, LED flashes red 4x briefly), see table on the next page.
• Pushing the setup button briefly changes the setting value. The number of flashing signals of the red LED changes
accordingly.
• To leave the setting mode and terminate programming, switch off the speed controller (Move the slider away from
the setup button). If you switch on the speed controller then, the speed controller is ready for operation with the
settings made above.
• If another setting is to be changed, proceed again as described above.
