Operating Notes - GRAUPNER Compact Control 10 Bedienungsanleitung

Operating Notes

When a Ni-Cd or Ni-MH battery is gradually
discharged, there comes a point where the
voltage suddenly collapses. The Compact
Control 10 detects this point and automatically
reduces motor power. This gives you the chance
to stop your model in good time. However, if
you are using a small number of cells of high
internal resistance, the controller may reduce
power before the battery is fully discharged.
That is why it is fundamentally essential to use
high-quality cells.
The speed controller's integral suppression
measures guarantee that interference to the
radio control system while the controller is
operating is kept to a minimum.
If you encounter problems with interference
when using this controller, please bear in
mind that most problems can be traced back
to incompatibility between various compo-
nents of your system, or to an incompetent
or unsuitable installation. All controllers are
tested three times under realistic conditions
before they are shipped.
Important note: ensure that your transmitter is
switched on before you turn on the receiver.
PROTECTIVE SYSTEM
This speed controller incorporates a range of
sophisticated protective measures, but they can-
not protect the system against all the problems
which might occur.
1. Voltage detection 1. Voltage detection
As soon as the voltage of the drive battery falls
below a limit of 5.5 V, the controller reduces the
power to the motor. If the controller reduces the
power to the motor for an excessive length of
time, it will switch off the motor. If this should
happen, you can re-activate the motor by
closing the throttle (OFF position) for more than
two seconds, then advancing it again.
2. Minimum speed 2. Minimum speed
To be sure that your Compact Control 10 can
detect the position of the rotor, it is essential that
the motor runs at a certain minimum speed.
For this reason it is important that the number
of cells in the battery is suitable for the winding
of the motor you are using. For example, it is
not possible to run a 12-cell motor on a pack
consisting of only 7 cells. If the system you
assemble is not suitable, there is a risk that
the motor will not start up correctly. It is also
important to select a gear reduction ratio which
suits the motor.
3. Reversed polarity 3. Reversed polarity
This speed controller is not protected against
reversed polarity.
THE SPEED CONTROLLER'S METHOD OF
WORKING
One outstanding feature of the new Brushless
Compact Control 10 is the fine control of motor
speed which it offers, as you would expect of
a good speed controller. This is the first speed
controller which provides really smooth control
of sensorless and brushless motors even when
initially starting up; the fine graduation of motor
speed is virtually the equal of any brushed
motor controller.
Brake:
The controller features a programmable brake.
INSTALLATION
1.) Attach your speed controller to the
chassis of your model car using double-
sided foam tape.
For installation in a fuselage the ideal
method of attachment is Velcro (hook-an
loop) tape.
2.) Connection to the receiver
Locate the servo lead attached to the speed
controller and connect it to the throttle
channel of your receiver. The receiver
passes the throttle signal to the controller
via this lead. Never connect another battery
in parallel with the receiver battery, or with
the BEC system if you are using it.
