P94 DUAL ESC/MIXER MULTI CONTROLLER
Type: Dual ESC and Mixer Module. Equivalent to two fully operational ESCs and a mixer, all in the same
case. Will suit most types of DC
No of channels required:
Motor voltage:
Maximum continuous current rating:
Modes: 4 different modes of operation, selectable by user via on-board 2-way DIL switches:
Mode 1: Dual electronic speed controllers - Each ESC works from a separate channel i.e. "Tank Steering";
Mode 2: Dual thruster mode - Controls bow and stern thrusters. Skipper selects either Traverse (where
thrusters work in the same direction and slew the model sideways) or Spin (where the
thrusters work in opposite directions and spin the model on its own axis). Selection is done by
"blipping" the rudder stick hard over and letting it go straight away. Both thrusters are also
fully speed-controlled.
Mode 3: 0% - 100% Mixer. As Mode 4, except that inboard motor can be made to spin at full speed in
reverse sense on full rudder command i.e. you can spin the model on its axis.
Mode 4: 0% - 50% Mixer. Applies differential speed control to the motors automatically as a rudder
command is give. Adjustable from 0%, where there is no mixing of rudder and throttle signals,
up to 50%, where the inboard motor just stops at full rudder command.

  • Page 2 This takes power from the main motor battery/batteries and reduces it to 5v to operate the logic circuit in P94 and to feed the power to the receiver, also @ 5v. Unless you want to run the receiver from a seperate battery (or the flylead from P92/P102/P107) then you MUST remove the red wires from the two leads marked T and S.

    6. If your transmitter has any form of inter-channel mixing on the steering and throttle channels, make sure it is switched OFF for the operation of a model fitted with a P94. Also ensure that any servo throw adjustment is set to 100% movement in both directions. See the manual for your radio for further information.
  • Page 4 ‘bind’ - the relays will click rapidly several times and it is then OK to operate the transmitter as normal. If the model goes out of range then P94 will stop both of the motors, but when the model comes back into range then P94 will resume with the same neutral positions that it had when you first switched on i.e.
