    The polarity of the connection lead is marked on the label of the unit. In the case of using reversed gears, the connector should be connected backwards to reverse the operation of the motors. Brake connections Connect leads from brakes sockets labeled “Brake”.
  • Page 4 This battery powers the motors and the brakes. The controller have a internal switch Gear Input operated by the power. It is not necessary to disconnect this battery between uses, but it is recommended to disconnect it after the flying session. There is a minimal power drawn from this battery when the unit is switched off that can drain a battery in a 2 month period.
  • Page 5 Setup can be done trough a data terminal or trough a pushbutton and LED light. Full functions are only available if programmed trough the data terminal. In both cases, first of all you should decide if you will use one or two channels for control, and then setup your transmitter accordingly.

  • Page 11 Too low time will not unload the motor, causing high stress and wear; too long time can move the slider out of “lock” position. Last adjustable parameter is the “Maximum Motor time”. This is a security parameter that will power down the motors after a certain operation time (programmable) to prevent the case that the endpoint is undetected.
  • Page 12 Leave the main battery disconnected to prevent accidental movement of motors. Switch off the power. Press the button with the aid of a plastic rod (a pen, etc, but nothing metallic that could damage the electronic board). While the button pressed, switch on the power on the receiver.
