6.
As soon as the throttle lever is now set back to position "Motor off/Brake" the controller will send out acoustic "BeBe BeBeep"-
signals confirming that the motor start is now safe. Otherwise the controller will wait for the user to push the throttle lever back to the
position "Motor off/Brake" before the motor can safely start. If the throttle lever is set to position "Full throttle" when plugging in the
drive battery the controller will enter the "Settings" mode – see Mode "Settings".
7.
You may now take off and enjoy your flight.
-
Handle the model with great caution when the drive battery is connected as it cannot be excluded that the propeller re-starts
unexpectedly.
-
Reversing the rotational sense of the motor can be achieved by swapping two of the three cable leads.
-
The controller contains a circuit which evaluates the progression an amount of the tension of the battery, limits the RPMs, and
initiates a soft-off of the motor. You may use batteries of the types LiPo, LiIo, NiMH, and NiCd.
-
Another coponent of the controller is an over-heating protection which cuts the motor when the controller reaches a temperature of
~100°-110°C.
-
The controller is also equipped with protective functions which assure a correct motor start as well as a smooth running of the
motor over the whole range of usable RPMs and the full torque range. However, should any timing errors turn up (loud screaming
of the motor), a time delay for accepting throttle commands must be programmed, or another motor should be installed.
Operation mode Settings:
1.
Make sure all the cable leads are properly connected.
2.
Turn the transmitter on (position "ON"), then push the throttle lever into the position "Full Throttle".
3.
Connect the propulsion battery to the controller, mind the correct polarity. (Order.-No. 7228 Connect now the receiver pack to the
receiver)
4.
The brushless motor will now indicate with 6 acoustic signals that the controller is switched on, and that the user has selected the
operation mode settings. At the same time the controller will save the position of the throttle lever at full throttle, and adjust the
throttle position and the servo travel.
5.
Now push the throttle lever into the position "Motor off/Brake" to allow the controller to save these throttle settings, and set up the
throttle position and the servo travel accordingly. As soon as the setting process is completed the controller will acknowledge by
sending out the confirmation signal "BeBe BeBeep".
6.
When this is done the controller will enter the operation mode "Optional functions" where it will acknowledge each function with
individual beep-signals. Whenever the user selects a special function he must wait for the corresponding signal before pushing the
throttle lever into the position "Full Throttle" in order to save the settings. The controller will then send out the beep-signals for
confirmation. Whenever the user has finished such a set-up procedure he will have to push the throttle lever into the position "Motor
off/Brake" to call up the following set-up function.
7.
In the function mode several sound signals can be heard – long and short. The long sound indicates that a special function has been
selected, whereas the short sound indicates that changes in the settings of this function have been made.
8.
Disconnect the battery when all settings are completed.
9.
Meanings of the functions:
Function 1 – battery protection
1-1 High disconnecting tension for LiPo/LiIo batteries
(3.2V deregulation, 2.9V cut-off)
1-2 Standard disconnecting tension for LiPo/LiIo batteries
(2.9V deregulation, 2.6V cut-off)
1-3 Low disconnecting tension for LiPo/LiIo batteries
(2.6V deregulation, 2.3V cut-off)
1-4 Disconnection at approx. +5V for NiMH/NiCd batteries
Function 2 – motor timing
2-1 auto timing for brushless motors
2-2 soft timing for brushless motors (for 2-pole inline motors)
2-3 standard timing for brushless motors
2-4 hard timing for brushless motors
(for outside rotor motors, slotted motors, and motors of 8 poles or more)
Function 3 – throttle speed
3-1 soft
3-2 standard
3-3 fast
Function 4 – brake control
4-1 no brake
4-2 soft brake
4-3 hard brake
Function 5 – model mode
5-1 operation mode airplane model / normal
5-2 operation mode helicopter with RPM control (see note 1)
5-3 operation mode helicopter without RPM control (see note 1)
Note 1: If you select "Heli" mode with speed governor (5 - 2), the unit has to learn the maximum rotational speed once the mode has been
set.
Caution: the motor will run up to maximum speed during this procedure, and the rotor blades or the motor pinion should therefore be
removed. Ensure that the model is securely held, and keep well away from the hazard zone.
This is the procedure:
- After selecting mode 5 – 2, move the throttle lever (slider control) back to the "motor off / brake" position in order to activate the
controller.
