P94L
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 When connecting the receiver to other servos or speed controllers there are two “straight-through” connections on the P94L in the form of 3-pin headers. See the Schematic Drawing on the Front Page of this manual. These eliminate the need for Y-leads from the receiver outputs. H1 would be used conventionally to connect the steering servo, while H2 will supply the throttle signal (unmixed) to a third electronic speed controller e.g.
  • Page 3: Modes Of Operation

    Important! 1. ALWAYS check your wiring before applying power to the circuit for the first time, and ALWAYS turn off ALL power before you make ANY changes to connections or any adjustments to switches etc. If you ignore this rule then you could cause damage to the unit. 2.
  • Page 4 command. The amount by which the motors change speed is controlled by the Mix knob; turn it anti-clockwise to increase the degree of opposite rotation of the inboard motor at full rudder command. Note that if you apply a rudder command without any throttle then the motors will go to full speed in forward+reverse;...
