NSTALLATION
Fasten the controller in your model by the screws. Alternatively, you can use Velcro or double-sided adhesive
tape for fixing. 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 followed by the receiver – the
receiver uses a separate battery. Now you can plug in the main flight pack.

Page 2: Controller Mode
Note: The red LED on the controller will light up for two seconds to indicate proper initialization. After the correct throttle impulse is detected (meaning off position), the controller plays a predefined melody. Now it’s ready to fly. If the throttle impulse is not detected for more than 4 seconds (e.g. after disconnecting the receiver battery), the controller will enter standby mode. - Page 3 Acceleration influences the motor response on the throttle channel. By decreasing the acceleration value, the motor response gets faster, providing more “locked-in” feeling. However, the motor consumes more current and the controller generates more heat. We recommend the default acceleration 1.0s for majority of model types, including electric gliders, scale models, EDFs etc.
- Page 4 ROPELLER POSITIONING The positioning feature allows moving the motor/propeller to the exact position required for safe landing, or which is just comfortable for further flying. With just a few external components (Hall-sensor and a small magnet) you can enable this feature and prevent the risk of damaging your propeller during landing. The magnet needs to be properly fixed to the rotating part (either motor or the propeller), and the Hall-sensor has to be located in the fuselage, so that the magnet matches the Hall-sensor at the target propeller position.

NTISPARK FEATURE The IBEX-120/130 and IBEX-200/220 controllers contain an additional circuit which can be optionally used to prevent sparks when the battery is connected. This circuit is linked to the flight pack using a separate cable. Use the antispark cable only for precharging the controller. Never use the cable for powering the motor or any external electronic components. - Page 6 OVERNOR MODE The speed controllers contain a fast and precise governor function. You are able to configure the governor mode in many aspects according to your preferences. Before enabling the governor mode, please make sure the blades are removed. In the Common Setting menu, set the Controller Mode to “Heli/Governor”...
- Page 7 Note: Please make sure the gear ratio and number of motor poles are correctly set in the Motor Setting menu. Also, please verify that the brake is disabled and check the state of the propeller positioning function. Please note that dynamic changes of the motor revolutions in flight are limited by the “Acceleration” parameter configured in the Motor Setting menu.
- Page 8 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.

IBEX-80 and IBEX-120/130 schematic: IBEX-200/220 schematic: AN CONTROL The IBEX-200/220 contains a driven output for the external fan (5V, up to 300mA). It is activated as soon as the controller temperature reaches 55°C. Use only a suitable fan which is sold as an additional controller accessory. - Page 10 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. The IBEX ESC is compatible with JETIBOX programming.

Note: The IBEX version 2.01 and later is compatible with Spektrum single-cable operation (Smart Throttle). To enable this function, just plug the red telemetry cable into receiver channel No.1 and keep the other (black) cable unplugged. You will be able to control throttle as well as receive telemetry. This approach is compatible with AR10400T receiver family as well. -

USB interface. On the other hand, the IBEX-200/220 requires connecting at least a 3S LiPo main battery since the power circuit is completely galvanically isolated from the signal interfaces. Always start the MAV Manager first and connect the controller through the USB interface. - Page 15 Connect the controller to your PC using the USB interface.
