English 1. Introduction You have purchased one of our new and innovative MEZON brushless model motor controllers. This new line of controllers is based on the successful line of SPIN Pro controllers. The MEZON controller offers progressive control combined with high efficiency to optimize your brushless motor’s operation. -
Page 5: Overview
2. Overview Both OPTO and BEC versions of the MEZON controller are available. The MEZON controllers are offered in a wide spectrum from the MEZON 90 to the MEZON 165 Opto. 2.1. MEZON Controllers with BEC The BEC version of the MEZON Controller contains a constant voltage, switching regulator for providing current to your servos and receiver from your flight battery. -
Page 6: Opto-Version Of The Controller Mezon
2.2. OPTO-Version of the Controller MEZON The OPTO version of the MEZON Controller contains no voltage regulator (BEC) which would provide the current for your servos and receiver from the main flight battery. This means that a separate receiver and servo current source must be provided. With a correctly connected OPTO controller any potential interference caused by controller operation can not be transferred to or interfere with the receiver and servos. -
Page 7: Connecting The Controller
3. Connecting the Controller The controller should be connected to the flight battery and motor using high quality connectors. Please see the guidelines below for proper connector installation and cable lengths. When you switch-on the MEZON controller, you will hear signal tones from the motor. The tones below indicate for following conditions: The controller has recognized a correct control pulse which complies with the STOP (low throttle) position and is prepared to start the motor. -
Page 8: Soldering The Connectors
3.1 Soldering the Connectors Use only new and high quality connectors and properly solder them to the cables. We recommend bullet style connectors G4 (max. 75 A) and G5 (max. 150 A). In order to ensure that after soldering no bare cable is exposed out of the connector soldering cavity, remove the cable insulation in the exact length corresponding to the cavity depth. - Page 9 Insert the soldering iron tip into the cavity of the connector to be soldered and slowly add solder. Let it flow into the cavity. Only fill the cavity so far (not all the way full) so that when you insert of the tinned cable end, no solder overflows.
-
Page 10: Cable Lengths And Connector Care
Check to make sure that you do not accidentally have any solder or flux in any of the connector’s moving parts. Excess flux may cause your connector to have a poor or intermittent connection. This can be removed by washing the connector with a stiff brush in alcohol. -
Page 11: Connecting The Mezon To The Receiver
3.4 Connecting the MEZON to the receiver • • • The red, “EXT” connector can be connected to a free receiver channel to share the BEC output of your MEZON. Because you are now using two cables and two plugs the voltage loss at high currents between BEC and receiver will be decreased. -

Receiver Duplex Rx Fig. 5: Connection for the MEZON telemetry. Fig. 6: Connection for the MEZON telemetry via an Expander 3.5 Battery connection / disconnection procedure For the battery and controller connections we recommend the use of the JETIMODEL Anti Spark G5,5 connectors. -
Page 13: Connecting The Rpm Output
Battery Connection Method: Connect the controller’s negative terminal (normal, plain connector) to the battery’s negative terminal. Next, connect the controller’s positive terminal (Jeti “AntiSpark” connector) to the battery’s positive terminal. Battery Disconnection Method: Disconnect the controller’s positive terminal (Jeti “AntiSpark” connector) from the battery’s positive terminal. -

The startup speed of the motor is set in the Acceleration menu. This setup is suited for aerobatic competition models, for helicopters with a mix for collective blade attack control and engine power (throttle curves), for an external governor or different flybarless systems and multi-rotor systems.
- Page 16 Example of a Helicopter Autorotation Set-Up. The global acceleration is set to an acceleration time of 10s (from 0 to 100%). The autorotation acceleration is set to an acceleration time of 2s (from 0 to 100%). Now we switch off the motor with a throttle input value corresponding to motor stop (lowest throttle position).

- Page 18 Init Point Type - AUTO: In this mode the Mezon will automatically set the initial point based upon what it detects as the low throttle position when the ESC/receiver are switched on. This happens within the first half second once the ESC is powered. (Recommended) Init Point Type - FIXED: In this mode you can set the Initial(arming) and End Points as fixed values in ms.

Page 23: Telemetry
5. Telemetry The MEZON controller measures your flight battery voltage, current, consumed battery capacity, power, temperature, RPM, BEC current and voltage and transmits the data with aid of the 2,4 GHz DUPLEX-system to the DC/DS-16 transmitters, displays them there on the LCD- display and also stores the data if your telemetry data recording is activated. -

5.3 Statistics During operation, MEZON controllers carry out a statistical analysis and also log the data into its internal memory. After switching-on the controller, the data logs of the preceding controller operation (flight) are displayed. This data is no longer available once the motor is started. After 10 seconds of a new motor run the stored data logs are deleted and a new data log starts –... - Page 26 Status –any error code status is displayed. If any limits are exceeded the following messages appear: F – Huge over-current condition. This error causes the motor to stop immediately.

6. MEZON Controller Firmware Update MEZON Controllers allow firmware updates via a PC. The update is performed using the JETI USB-Adapter. The procedure is as shown below. On the manufacturer internet pages, under “Downloads”, you will find an update program with the most recent firmware. -
Page 28: Troubleshooting
7. Troubleshooting Problem: There is no “armed” signal tone audible when the battery is connected to the controller. The motor is connected correctly to the controller. The controller input is also correctly connected to the receiver, the receiver is switched-on and servos work normally. Solution: Check the throttle control pulse, which should have a voltage level of at least 2,5V and a width of 0,9-1,4 ms. -
