13.7 Connecting the speed controller
Connect the AMP socket with the yellow cables to the corresponding
AMP plug at the drive motor, and the AMP plug with the red/black
cables to the AMP socket at the switch panel.
The connection of the green/yellow brake light cable has already
been described in Section 13.4. The signal "brake light" is switched
by minus line, and it is time-triggered: As soon as one changes the
position of the control lever from either "forward" or from "reverse" to
the neutral position (switched-off), the brake light starts lighting for
approx. eight seconds. But as soon as the travelling operation is
started again, the brake light stops automatically its blinking, even
before having finished these eight seconds.
Attach the connecting socket with the brown/red/orange cable to one
of the receiver terminals. If the socket doesn't match the receiver,
you will need to add an adapter cable (not making part of this kit).
13.8 Starting the electrical system (see switches, ill.13b)
The electrical system is put into operation by turning on the main
switch; the LED blinks. Then the transmitter and receiver are switched
on, in this order. (Always switch off the receiver first and then the
transmitter!) If a speed controller has been installed, the brake lights
will go on. If the light switch is on, the headlamps, the roof lamps and
the tail lamps will light.

The WEDICO speed controller is matched to the WEDICO-Bühler
motor. The electronics are permanently installed in a tank housing,
which should never be opened! Never apply force as this could
damage the speed controller and nullify any and all guarantee enti-
tlements. Prior to its supply, each speed controller is individually
tested and provided with a basic programming. In your particular
case, probably this general basic programming may not be the opti-
mal for the type of RC equipment you are using, but you of course
may change it (for further details please refer to the section 14.2
"programming").
14.1 Starting the speed controller
Switch the electrics on by the following sequence: start by the main
switch of the Electr. System, then switch on the transmitter, and finally
the receiver; keep your eye on the control LED. Before you make the
motor starts working remote-controlled, it is the speed controller which
has first to detect the programmed neutral position; this position sits
approx. in the centre on the control lever of your transmitter unit. Once
the speed controller has correctly detected said position, as a con-
firmation the control LED starts blinking for a ten times term. Only
then one may consider the speed controller as in state of readiness;
and now the motor power can be controlled for both senses of direc-
tion via the control lever.
14.2 How to programme the speed controller
Continue paying your attention to the control LED. For the correct ad-
justment of the control lever on the transmitter, set the shift controller
in neutral position; slide then the control lever into that position at
which you wish the motor to be "off". As a confirmation, lightly press
the programming key "4" on the speed controller (refer to next para-
graph). Do not move the control lever on the transmitter. Now, the
speed controller detects the neutral position, and the control LED
starts its ten times blinking.
Immediately after the blinking activity has started, slide the control
lever into the position for maximum "forward" speed; secure the lever
at this point. Do not move it. Even after the 10th blinking, the control
LED remains dark. As soon as the transmitter of your RC equipment
has detected the pulse corresponding to the maximum speed, the
control LED starts blinking again for a ten times term.
Immediately after the start of this blinking activity move the control
lever from the position "forward" directly to the position provided for
maximum "reverse" speed; secure the lever at this position. Again,
after the 10th blinking the control LED remains dark. Once the
transmitter of the RC unit has detected that pulse responsible for the
maximum speed, the control LED starts blinking again.
This signifies that the programming procedure of the speed controller
has been completed. The transmitter of the RC unit has successfully
detected the pulse coming from the speed controller, and now the
complete system is ready to operate.
If an error has been made during the programming procedure, the
system will not accept the new figures. In this case switch your Elec-
trical System off just for a short moment, and then switch it on again;
this procedure will re-activate the previous version of the program-
ming you have chosen for your speed controller. At this stage you
may start again any new programming.
14.3 Options for adjusting the speed controller
The holes at the rear tank cover are identified by numbers and serve
for the following types of adjustments, as there are:
•
to "3": By a potentiometer, adjustment of the maximum motor speed
from 50 to 100% for the 1
st
direction (either forward or reverse, see
below),
•
to "4": By key initiating the programming procedure,
•
to "5": By potentiometer, adjustment of the maximum motor speed
from 50 to 100% for the 2
nd
direction (either forward or reverse, see
below).
It is by testing only that you find out which of both holes, either "3" or
"5", is responsible for the maximum motor speed of the direction
“forward” resp. the direction “REVERSE”.
Standard values on the speed controller are adjusted by manufactur-
ers. For any alteration of adjustment use a small screwdriver. Be
careful and don't apply any force!
14.4 Troubleshooting
No blinking activity on the
speed controller after hav-
ing put into operation
The position of the shifting lever
provided for the adjustments does
not correspond to the position of the
programming procedure. Make sure
the shifting lever has been set to neu-
tral position!
Motor does not react at all
Inadequate wire connections;
receiver voltage below 3 V;
main NiCads too low (below 8 V)

For charging the drive battery connect as follows:
•
the AMP-plug of the charging cable to that AMP-socket with the
blue/red cable of the cab's switch panel,
•
the banana plugs of the charging cable to a charging unit.
Warning: Ensure that the banana plugs for the charging cable do
not touch while the charging cable is connected to the switch
panel.
At normal discharge levels it will take about 12 to 14 hours to re-
charge the battery (at 150 mA). Quick charging should be used only
in exceptional cases at a maximum of 1.5 A for one hour.

To operate the speed controller and the steering servo an inexpensive
2/4 channel system will be sufficient. Should you intend installing
additional electrical accessories, such as e.g. Diesel Engine Sound,
Art.-No. 189, for an RC equipment we would recommend a 2/4 chan-
nel unit, offering the installation of retrofit sets for the operation of
switching functions. Please ask your dealer for advice. Follow the in-
structions provided by the RC system manufacturer when installing
the receiver unit.
Should you don't wish the receiver voltage of your radio unit being
supplied via an independent battery, you may connect it to your 12V
truck battery. For this purpose you have to solder the wires of the re-
ceiver battery onto the switch panel (see ill. 16).
Note: By the installed voltage regulator (as a series fitting) the bat-
tery voltage of 12V on the switch panel is now automatically being
reduced to 5 volts.

Attention: This special electrical equipment making part of our pro-
duction line "Complete Kits" will not fit any other electrical accessory
offered within the range of WEDICO System-Kits.
Should you once wish to extend your "Complete Kit" by one or the
other electric accessory you will have to exchange this electrical sys-
tem. WEDICO offers you the following Electrical Systems:
•
Art.-No. 783: The information to the semi-trailer is transmitted via a
multi-frequency system. When adding an Infrared System (Art.-Nr.
790 as transmitter, and Art.-No. 791 as receiver), you may drive
your prime mover with any of a semi-trailer - it does not depend on
the type of Electrical System your truck is equipped with.
•
Art.-No. 796: The information is serially transmitted via one data
line only inside the prime mover. The information to the semi-trailer
is transmitted via an Infrared Diode (transmitter).
Except these electrical components, all other accessories (for stan-
dard chassis) being offered within our programme WEDICO System-
Kits will fit your truck and/or semi-trailer and may be installed.
