The IBEX product line represents advanced speed controllers for use exclusively in RC airplane models. With
integrated telemetry and various possibilities of optional user configuration, the controllers offer high
efficiency, low weight and precise motor control. The integrated high-power BEC, offering 15Amps of
continuous current, is suitable even for the most demanding applications. The full power of the BEC is available
at any battery voltage within the controller specification (6-51V).

  • Page 1 MAV Sense s.r.o. info@mavsense.com Sládkova 372/8 www.mavsense.com 702 00 Ostrava Czech Republic IBEX E LECTRONIC PEED ONTROLLER 1.09 ANUAL IRMWARE ERSION The IBEX product line represents advanced speed controllers for use exclusively in RC airplane models. With integrated telemetry and various possibilities of optional user configuration, the controllers offer high efficiency, low weight and precise motor control.
  • Page 2: Installation

    NSTALLATION Fasten the controller in your model using Velcro or double-sided adhesive tape. Connect the motor and receiver according to the schematic below. You may connect the motor cables in arbitrary order, as changing direction is done by exchanging any of the two cables (alternatively also by the “Direction” parameter in the configuration). Turn on the transmitter.
  • Page 3: Motor Settings

    In case you need exact points on your transmitter stick, where the motor starts and where full throttle is, you can configure manual endpoints as well. Note: The controller waits for throttle-low position after startup and also every time the motor is stopped due to any error condition.
  • Page 4: Backup Battery

    Example: Motor brake with the following parameters: Start power = 50%, End power = 100%, Transition = 0.5s, Wait time = 0.3s. VOLTAGE AND SETTING In the Common Setting menu, you are able to modify the BEC voltage very precisely in steps of 0.1V. The controller contains a very powerful BEC which is able to deliver up to 15Amp continuous current.
  • Page 5: External Switch

    XTERNAL SWITCH The IBEX ESC allows you to install an external switch if needed. By default the switch is not present, so that the speed controller/BEC turns immediately after connecting the flight battery. You can specify the type of switching element in the Common Setting –...
  • Page 6: Motor Identification

    OTOR IDENTIFICATION Some motor brands contain an integrated temperature sensor compatible with the IBEX speed controller. This sensor (T125-ID) might be used as a standalone telemetry sensor with Duplex/Hott/S.Bus2 telemetry support. Alternatively, the sensor can be directly connected to the Input port „A“ of the controller (see the picture above).
  • Page 7 OTOR DIRECTION REVERSING The motor reverse feature is available for RC systems with bidirectional bus support (EX Bus, P Bus, SRXL2, S.Bus2). To control the motor direction you need to define an additional channel transferred through the bus system. Both cables (red and black) of the IBEX speed controller must be properly linked the receiver. First, you need to create an additional channel on you transmitter to control the motor direction.
  • Page 8 ELEMETRY AND ETTINGS Plug the red data cable into the sensor slot of the JETIBOX / SMART-BOX (or corresponding receiver). Power it up with a battery (4.5 - 8.4V). Now you can safely configure the controller using the arrows on the terminal. If you use an external (optional) switch connected to the ESC, please make sure that the controller is turned on.

    AFETY INFORMATION  Operate the IBEX controller always in dry environment and within the device limits stated in this guide. Never expose the device to excessive heat or cold outside the working area.  Provide sufficient airflow to prevent controller overheating. ...
  • Page 12 IRMWARE PDATE Firmware updates for the IBEX ESC are transferred from a PC via the USB interface. The required programs and files are available at www.mavsense.com. Install the MAV Manager software and the USB drivers on your computer. Check the system requirements. 1) Make sure that the battery flight pack is disconnected and the IBEX ESC is unpowered.
