Ce Conformity Declaration; Disposal Notes - Multiplex MULTIcont BL-XX S-BEC Bedienungsanleitung

The actual current drawn by a servo varies according to its
performance, the frequency of commands and – in particular –
the freedom of movement of the control surface linkages (!). This
means that it is essential to measure the current drain of the
servos in the model before the first flight, and at regular intervals
thereafter.
If you have no means of measuring the S-BEC current: carry out
a test-run on the ground: operate the servos in a "normal" way
(similar to flying the model) until the low-voltage cut-off is
triggered (i.e. battery flat). At this point the speed controller
should be no more than warm to the touch, and the servos must
work properly all the time, without ever threatening to fail or move
erratically.
! Note: disabling the S-BEC system
The S-BEC system must be disabled, and a separate receiver
battery must be used instead, if:
•
the model carries more servos, or servos with a higher
current drain, than is permissible for the selected battery cell
count ( 2.), or
•
problems are evident during the test-run
Disabling the S-BEC system: locate the UNI connector attached
to the three-core lead. Use a pointed instrument to raise the
plastic lug of the red wire (+), and withdraw the red wire from the
plastic housing. Insulate the bare metal parts with a heat-shrink
sleeve.

OW VOLTAGE CUT
If the battery voltage falls to the low-voltage threshold, the
controller automatically cuts off power to the motor. This ensures
that sufficient energy is available for the S-BEC power supply to
allow a safe landing to be carried out. A steady decline in motor
speed is a further indication that the flight battery is almost
discharged; you should initiate the landing as soon as you
become aware of this.
If the controller cuts the motor, it can be switched on again briefly
if required by momentarily moving the throttle stick to the motor
OFF position (Reset function).
! Note: do not use the low-voltage reset function more
than once or twice
Repeated throttling back to re-arm the motor may dis-charge the
flight battery to the point where the receiver power supply falters
and fails. Note that LiPo flight batteries can be permanently
damaged if they are deep-discharged.
! Note: if you are using the latest generation of LiPo batteries,
the low voltage cut-off function will not work correctly due to the
cells' constantly high voltage curve; in this case the speed
controller is unable to cut the motor in good time. In these
circumstances you should fly using a current sensor or a timer, to
avoid discharging the drive battery to a dangerous level.

AULT FINDING
The controller switches the motor off after a few seconds
The controller will switch the motor off immediately if the battery
voltage falls below the low-voltage threshold. This is designed to
prevent loss of control of the model due to low voltage at the
receiver. If the battery is fully charged and you apply full-throttle,
a motor cut indicates a serious voltage collapse in the flight
battery. Measure the current drain, and either install a smaller
propeller or fit a battery with a higher current delivery capacity
(higher C-rate).
Serious interference or failure of the transmitter signal will also
cause the controller to cut the motor immediately. Throttle the
motor back, wait about one second, then re-arm the controller by
opening the throttle again; this will only work if proper reception
has been restored.

FAULT CORRECTION
Operating Instructions
Everything is connected correctly, the S-BEC system is
working, the servos are operating, but the throttle function
does not work
You probably did not wait long enough in the motor OFF position
after connecting the flight battery; this means that the controller is
not armed. Move the stick back to the motor OFF position (trim
also at idle end-point) and wait one or two seconds. Check that
the throttle channel is set to full travel, i.e. at least 100%. If the
two rising beep sequences still do not sound, and the motor still
does not start, you need to reverse the direction of operation of
the throttle channel at the transmitter.
Nothing works: receiver, servos and controller do not
function at all
Check all plugs, sockets and solder joints for intermittent contact,
and check again for correct polarity (+/-). If the unit still does not
work, contact the dealer from whom you purchased the speed
controller.

ISPOSAL
Electrical equipment marked with the cancelled waste
bin symbol must not be discarded in the standard
household waste; instead it must be taken to a suitable
specialist disposal or recycling system.
In the countries of the EU (European Union), electrical
equipment must not be discarded via the normal
domestic refuse system (WEEE - Waste of Electrical and
Electronic Equipment, Directive 2002/96/EG). You can take un-
wanted equipment to your nearest local authority waste collection
point or recycling centre, where the staff will dispose of it
correctly and at no cost to yourself.
By returning your unwanted equipment you can make an
important contribution
