ANUAL
Thank you for purchasing an MC601C . The MC601C is a high-frequency drive FET speed control developed for model
electric cars. It is compact and light weight competition speed control, and uses a simple digital setting system.
FEATURES
• SMD MOSFETs with smallest internal resistance for
minimal losses and maximum power
• PWM frequency is Performed by load adaptive
• Heat protector
• Low-voltage protection function
• Fuse 40A (Buttery reverse plotection / Overload plotection)
• Power left on alarm function
• Serial communication function
Power supply
Nicd, NiMH battery 4~7 cells
(4.8~8.4V)
[MC601C Technical Data]
Operating system: Forward and brake (resolution:255)
Power requirement: Nicd, NiMH battery 4~7 cells (4.8~8.4V)
PWM frequency:
Forward 100Hz 10kHz Initial value 2.5kHz 3.0kHz
Brake 2.0kHz
BEC voltage: 6.0V (excluding at less than 6V)
Setting: One-touch input by pushbutton switch.
Serial communication function (Options)
The following settings and operations are possible with a Windows PC by using the optional interface unit (CIU-2).
erase (Data logging memorizes the running current and power supply voltage for
approximately 8 minutes at 1 second intervals.)
Variable frequency range setting: 100Hz ~ 10kHz (Sets the load response system variable frequency range.) Dead
band: ±2μs ~ ±55μs (The neutral point range can be set.)
Low battery protection voltage setting: 2.5V ~ 6.0V (Sets the voltage which cuts output to motor when the power supply
voltage is drops.)

Applicable motors
Use the MC601C with a motor with 9 turns or more.
*If a motor with a number of turns smaller than the
above is used, the heat protector and overcurrent
protection circuit may operate. The number of turns of
the motor is a criteria only. Depending on the running
conditions, the protection circuit may operate even if
the condition above is satisfied.
*The internal circuit of MC601C is OK up to 9-turn
motors. On the other hand, the connectors for battery
and motor are general type that is often found at the
dealers. Therefore, to use high output power motor or
apply heavy load may result in overheating of the
connector section and melting the connection. If this
happen the connection will stick together. Please pay
special attention to avoid this matter.
Current capacity (FET rating) :
Forward 480A (Momentary load: 1920A)
Brake 120A
Fuse: 40A (Buttery reverse plotection / Overload plotection)
Case size: 28.7x26.2x13.3mm (excluding protruding parts)
Silicon cord gauge size: AWG14 equivalent
Weight: 13.5g (excluding connector, cords and switch)

INSTALLATION TIPS
Provide plenty of cooling openings in the bodywork; this increases the performance and extends the life of all
lectronic components.
The speed control should be installed in such a way that you have easy access to all connectors and the set-up button.
Important:
that there is an adequate distance (approx. 3 cm) between the speed control and power cables and the receiver or receiver antenna. Avoid
direct contact between all power system components and the receiver or antenna, as this can cause interference. If you encounter interference
problems, re-position the components in the model.
antenna should be run vertically up and away from the receiver. Avoid contact with any parts made of carbon fibre or metal. See also the
instructions supplied with your radio control system.
