10.
Switchable pulse frequency, 8 kHz / 16 kHz;
default setting: 16 kHz
8 kHz: pulse frequency for two-pole motors, e.g. inrunners.
16 kHz: pulse frequency for motors with more than two poles, e.g. outrunners.
11. Low-voltage cut-off mode; default setting: full cut-off
Soft: reduced power
Hard: complete cut-off
Programming
1.
Switch the transmitter on and move the throttle stick fully forward. Connect the flight battery
to the speed controller (ESC).
2.
After three to four seconds you will hear the first audio sequence of programming mode. If
you leave the throttle stick at the full-throttle position, the controller generates various audio
sequences indicating the user-variable parameters
- see table below.
3.
The audio sequence for each individual parameter is repeated four times. If you wish to change
a particular parameter, move the throttle stick to the Stop position within the period of the four
repetitions. After this the controller emits an audio sequence according to the set battery type
(see “Using the speed controller for the first time”).
Note:
every time you change a parameter, disconnect the speed controller from the battery for
about two seconds; this causes the unit to store the new setting.
You can only change one parameter during each programming process.

Safety notes
- Keep to the correct sequence when switching on: always switch the transmitter on first, fol-
lowed by the receiver. Reverse the sequence when switching off.
- Do not exceed the values stated in the Specification.
- Take care to maintain correct polarity in all wiring.
- It is essential to avoid short-circuits.
- Install and protect the speed controller in such a way that it cannot come into contact with
grease, oil or water.
- Provide adequate air circulation for cooling.
- Keep well clear of the rotational plane of the propeller when the battery is connected - injury ha-
zard.
