  • Page 19: Simulation Of A Control Stick With Switches

    Speed Controller UFR-1230 Simulation of a control stick with switches In most cases the control sticks of a radio are occupied with other functions. Therefore you need a different option to control the functions of channel X3. With one free channel and two switches the different possitions of a poti / control stick can be simulated.

  • Page 20: Nautic/Multiswitch

    With the option „memory“ the function stays activated until the switch is pressed again. To use a nautic/multiswitch module the servo channel X3 of the UFR-1230 must be connected to the correct receiver output (corresponding to the used transmitter input).

  • Page 31 Speed Controller UFR-1230 useful whereas at high speed a smaller steering range enables a more sensitive steering. Hardness of handbrake If the function handbrake is activated with DIP switch 4 the hardness of braking can be set here. The handbrake can only be active while parking/standing. Without this option, the handbrake hits as soon as the throttle is in neutral position and the vehicle is still rolling.
