  • Page 10: Installation

    Always switch off power before connecting the module! Connection of supply voltage (battery) The SFR-1 is suitable for 6 – 18 V DC. Choose a suitable battery for your motor. In order to connect the power supply the red cable is connected to the positive pole of the battery and the black cable to the negative pole of the battery.
  • Page 11 Sound speed controller SFR-1 If you want to disconnect the supply voltage of the SFR-1 from the battery, always disconnect the positive lead of the battery first (or plus and minus at the same time)! Never disconnect the negative lead first (or only)!
  • Page 12 You do not have to connect channel #1 of the receiver with channel #1 of the SFR-1. If the joystick (to accelerate your model) is for example at channel #3 of the receiver, you have to connect channel #3 of the receiver with channel #1 of the SFR-1.
  • Page 13 Of course other cables/plugs with a cross section of 0,14 mm² - 0,5 mm² can be connected as well. The SFR-1 is always switching the negative pole to each output and thus to the connected load. The positive pole is always connected permanently to the load (see wiring diagram).
  • Page 14 However, if the model is not for several days, the battery should be disconnected completely. If no switch is connected to X9 or the switch is not closed, the SFR-1 will operate normally.
  • Page 15 Sound speed controller SFR-1 General remarks for wiring Always use cables with a core diameter of at least 1,5 mm² for connecting the power supply and the motor. For all other connections, such as lights you can use smaller cables such as 0.25 mm².

  • Page 16: Setup (Teaching Function)

    The SFR-1 is delivered with following standard setting: neutral position (1,5 ms), minimal position (1,0 ms) and maximal position (2,0 ms). We recommend to „teach“ the SFR-1 with the radio at least once. The motor is not used during the setup.

  • Page 17: Loudspeaker

    Sound speed controller SFR-1 Loudspeaker You can connect every loudspeaker to the SFR-1, which has an impedance of at least 4 Ω and is designed for the respective maximal power. We recommend using full range loudspeakers with 4 or 8 Ω. Higher impedances are also possible, but the volume decreases with higher impedances.

  • Page 18: Volume Control

    “Volume -“, must be configured in the Sound-Teacher e.g. to a proportional channel or to a nautic/multiswitch. General notes to volume Please note that the sound files you transfer to the SFR-1 should have an optimal modulation/volume. Common mistakes are far too quiet recordings that can not be played properly.

  • Page 19: Sounds

    Sound speed controller SFR-1 Sounds All sounds are stored in the SFR-1 with our software SFR-1 Sound-Teacher, in so called „slots". You don’t have to use every slot. If you don’t want e.g. any starting-noise, just keep the starting-noise slot free.

Normally there is an engine start noise, an idling noise, a driving noise and an engine stop noise. This module also offers the possibility to imitate up to five different driving...
  • Page 21 (e.g. slow, normal and fast). Please keep in mind; the “gears” are just generated by the SFR-1 and not through a mechanic gearshift. Yet it is not possible to activate the different sounds through an engine control or a real gearshift.

  • Page 22: Turning On/Off Engine Sound

    Turning on/off engine sound The SFR-1 can only play an engine sound, if it has been switched on before. There are different ways to switch on the engine sound: Using a proportional channel (X2/3 - X2/6) to switch on engine sound: If you have a joystick/slider/switch/rotary switch left, you can use it to switch the engine sound on or off.

    Sound speed controller SFR-1 Additional sounds 1 - 30 In addition to the engine sound, the SFR-1 can play up to 30 additional sounds. Typical sounds are e.g. horns, hydraulic and pneumatic noises, warning horns, shooting noises, Songs, radio calls, and so on. There are nearly no limits set to your imaginations.
  • Page 27 Sound speed controller SFR-1 Loop / immed. stop When the sound is started, it is played again and again from start to finish in an endless loop. To switch the sound off it must be virtually “started” again. The sound then stops immediately.

  • Page 28: Random Sounds

    Sound speed controller SFR-1 Random sounds Up to eight random sounds can be played with the SFR-1. The frequency of the sound play-back is determined by a random generator. The time spans (min/max) can programmed by 1 – 250s for every sound separately. In the same way the conditions (idling/drive - engine sound on/off) the sound should be played can be programmed for each of the 8 random sounds.
  • Page 29 Sound speed controller SFR-1 After track 30 the internal counter will jump back to track 1. By the way, the sound module always remembers the current track number. The next time the power supply is switched on, this track number “will be loaded“ again. If any changes are made to the SD card via the Sound-Teacher, the track counter will be reset to track number one.

The Intensity for each of the 3 lights can be adjusted seperately: The intensity of the parking light is entered under “intensity“(e.g. 10%).
  • Page 40 Sound speed controller SFR-1 Output „Stationary/Motion“ With this function the output is always active, regardless of whether the model is moving or not. The value “Intensity” defines the light intensity during standing. “Option 1” defines the intensity when the model is in motion (0-100%). The change between both light intensities is executed smoothly.
