Warning Signals - GRAUPNER Compact Control 10 Bedienungsanleitung

Using the controller for the first time
3.) Cables
The high-current power supply cables - es
pecially the motor cables - must be kept as
short as possible, as excessively long cables
can cause interference to the radio control
system, and they also increase the weight of
your model unnecessarily.
4.) Connection between the battery and the
speed controller
The length of the cables between the drive
battery and the speed controller must not
exceed 2 x 10 cm. If you ignore this
instruction, the controller may be damaged.
It is essential to use polarised gold-contact
plugs and sockets, and the use of any con-
nectors which do not fulfil this description
invalidates the guarantee. If the power con-
nectors which you wish to use are not
polarised by design, we recommend that
you solder a plug to the positive terminal and
a socket to the negative terminal. For lowest
possible internal resistance the cables
should be soldered directly to the battery,
but this is only relevant to prostandard and
competition drivers.
5.) Connection between the speed controller
and the motor. The controller's power
output should be soldered to the motor
cables, and each solder joint protected with
a separate heat-shrink sleeve. The total
length of the cables between controller and
motor must not exceed 10 cm.

WARNING SIGNALS

The controller uses the motor as a loudspeaker,
i.e. the motor emits audible signals which indica-
te the state of your speed controller. It is there-
fore essential to wire your motor to the controller
before you use the system for the first time.
USING THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before switching on the speed controller for the
first time be sure to set the transmitter throttle
stick to the "Motor stopped / Neutral" position.
The controller detects this position as the "neu-
tral point", but only within a restricted pre-set
range around the channel centre setting!
8 Using the controller for the first time
Switch on the transmitter.
Connect the controller to the drive battery.
The Compact Control 10 is programmed by
selecting one from a series of pre-set operating
modes. This procedure enables the controller to
"learn" the transmitter's stick travels, and also
determines the unit's operating characteristics.
The direction of motor rotation is determined
by the arrangement of the motor cables. If the
direction of rotation is incorrect, simply swap
over any two motor cables.
It is important to check the "servo reverse"
facility at your transmitter: the throttle channel
must be set up in such a way that full throttle
corresponds to the longest signal (widest
pulse). The signal limits should be set to around
+/- 100%.
By default the Compact Control 10 speed
controller is set to mode 2 (powered model
aircraft), and in this mode it should work with
most transmitters even if you do not run through
the set-up procedure.
After switching on the controller you will hear:
- 1 trill if set up for Ni-Cd / Ni-MH packs,
- 2 trills if set up for Lithium-Polymer batteries.
The controller then checks that a valid signal is
present, and that the transmitter throttle stick is
set to "OFF". If this is the case, you will hear the
arming signal:
          
Your Compact Control 10 is now ready for use,
and the motor can be started.
PROGRAMMING
The set-up procedure simple selects one from
a series of operating modes, and can easily be
carried out on the flying field.
Mode 1 (glider): with: brake (medium), soft-
start, temperature monitoring and low-voltage
speed reduction, stall protection and speed
limiting.
