  • Page 8: Installation Of Speed Controller

    Speed Controller UFR-1230-D Installation of speed controller For a safe installation of the speed controller, we recommend to use Velcro tape on the UFR-1230-D cover. Pay attention not to connect components and conductor tracks with any metal parts! This may cause a short circuit and destroys the speed controller!
  • Page 9 The speed controller has its own BEC supply voltage; an additional receiver battery is not required. In case the BEC voltage of the UFR-1230-D should not be used, the red cable from servo cable X1 and X2 and the red servo cables from X4/1 and X4/2 must be disconnected.

  • Page 11 Speed Controller UFR-1230-D General remarks for wiring: Always use cables with a core diameter of at least 2,5 mm² for connecting the power supply and the motors. For connections of lights you can use smaller cables such as 0,25 mm².

  • Page 12: Combination Ufr-1230-D And Sound Module Usm-Rc-2

    • More precise transfer of speed data. • Additional outputs from the USM-RC-2 can be used for connecting lights, in case the 8 light outputs at the UFR-1230-D are not enough. For this, only the types for the outputs must be selected in the Sound-Teacher.

  • Page 13: Load Regulation

    Speed Controller UFR-1230-D Load regulation With DIP switch 1 an optional load regulation can be activated. The speed controller monitors the current driving speed in case the throttle channel position differs from the actual driving speed due to environmental impacts and will maintain the driving speed.

  • Page 14: Setup (Teaching Function)

    We recommend to „teach“ the speed controller with the radio at least once. The motors are not triggered during teaching, except of the peeper in step 4, 5 and Procedure of teaching with UFR-1230-D dual mixer: 1. Connect throttle channel X1, steering channel X2 and control channel X3 to your receiver.
  • Page 15 Speed Controller UFR-1230-D Procedure of teaching with *no* UFR-1230-D dual mixer: 1. Connect throttle channel X1, steering channel X2 and control channel X3 to your receiver. 2. All channels and trimmer must be in neutral position. Turn on receiver. 3. Put DIP switch 4 to ON.

  • Page 16: Additional Functions

    Speed Controller UFR-1230-D Additional functions Following additional functions can be triggered with control channel X3: • Triggering outputs 1 – 8 static • Indicator left • Indicator right • Hazard light • Light switch + • Light switch - • Changing to throttle curve 2 •...

  • Page 17: Control Channel X3

    Speed Controller UFR-1230-D Control channel X3 With control channel X3 lights and other additional functions can be switched. The proportional channel X3 is divided in 5 areas, namely A, B, N, C and D, which indicate the possible control stick positions.

  • Page 18: Simulation Of A Control Stick With Switches

    Speed Controller UFR-1230-D 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 19: 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-D must be connected to the correct receiver output (corresponding to the used transmitter input).

  • Page 20: Switching Outputs

    Speed Controller UFR-1230-D Switching outputs The UFR-1230-D switching outputs can be used for connecting LEDs and other lights. The UFR-1230-D is delivered with following output setting: Output Brake light Reversing light Indicator left Indicator right Static (on/off) Static (on/off) Static (on/off)
  • Page 21 Speed Controller UFR-1230-D Output „static“ on For simple on and off light functions. Output „flashing“ on With this output type lights flash in a certain frequency. You can set the frequency for each output in your Drive-Teacher at „option 1“. Times between 1 and 255 are possible.

  • Page 22: Short Circuit Protection At Motor Output

    • Flashing of red LED on UFR-1230-D Temperature monitoring The UFR-1230-D has an integrated sensor to monitor constantly the temperature. If the measured temperature exceeds 80 °C following actions are executed: • Reduction of driving speed to maximum 30 % •...

  • Page 23: Monitoring Of Proportional Inputs/Failsafe

    Speed Controller UFR-1230-D Monitoring of proportional inputs/failsafe The signals of proportional channel X1, X2 and X3 are monitored permanently by the speed controller. In case no correct signal is received at the throttle channel X1 and X2 the speed controller stops due to safety reasons and the blue LED lights permanently at the speed controller.

  • Page 24: Installation Of Software „Ufr-1230-D Drive-Teacher

    Speed Controller UFR-1230-D Installation of software „UFR-1230-D Drive-Teacher“ Additional options can be set at the speed controller with the Windows-based software „UFR-1230-D Drive-Teacher“. A free download of the software is available on our website. At delivery the speed controller is ready for use.

  • Page 28 Speed Controller UFR-1230-D With control chanel X3 the different intensities of inertia can be activated and deactivated using additional functions. The setting in the speed controller with the Drive-Teacher is the standard setting when turning on the model. Hardness of handbrake If the function handbrake is activated with DIP switch 2 the hardness of braking can be set here.
  • Page 29 Speed Controller UFR-1230-D Configuration – steering channel X3 The picture shows the standard settings of the control channel X3. All available additional functions for control channel X3 are listed on page 16. Each of the 4 areas (A, B, C and D) can be set with 2 functions for short and long in position.
  • Page 30 Speed Controller UFR-1230-D Configuration - Nautic/Multiswitch In the standard setting the nautic mode is deactivated. Assignment of switches For each switch position a function can be set (see page 16) optional with the function „memory“. Type Select the transmitter ort he switch type you are using in this box.
  • Page 31 Speed Controller UFR-1230-D Configuration - Outputs The picture shows the standard settings for output 1- 8. The boxes indicate the colour of the flat ribbon cable for this output. Output type Different function can be assigned to this outputs (see page 16).
  • Page 32 Speed Controller UFR-1230-D again the indicators are deactivated. With this option it is only possible to activate the indicators by the steering channel and not with the control channel (X3) any longer. It is possible to deactivate the indicator after a certain amount of flashing.

  • Page 33: Diagnosis

    Speed Controller UFR-1230-D Diagnosis With the diagnosis function the different speed controller functions can be checked. The data cable K-USB-2 must be connected to X6 of the speed controller. Proportional inputs Shows values from the receiver for proportional channel 1 to 3. In neutral position the values in the middle should be 0.

  • Page 34: Firmware Update

    Speed Controller UFR-1230-D It is possible to record the diagnosis files on the hard disk. The speed controller needs to be connected to the computer with the data cable K-USM-2. A diagnosis during „normal“ driving is therefore not possible. Firmware update As soon as a new update is available you will get a notice from the Drive-Teacher.
