Safety Information
The guarantee/warranty will be void if damage is incurred resulting from non-compliance
with the operating instructions. We do not assume any responsibility for consequential
damage!
We do not assume any liability for damage to property or personal injury caused by
improper use or the failure to observe the safety instructions! In such cases the
warranty/guarantee is void.
• The unauthorized conversion and/or modification of the product is prohibited for safety and approval
reasons (CE). Never open/dismantle this product!
• The product is not a toy and must be kept out of the reach of children!
• The programming card must not get damp or wet.
• Please observe the operating instructions for operating the speed controller.
• Handle the product with care. It can be damaged by impact, blows or when dropped even from a low
height.
• Do not leave packaging material unattended. It may become a dangerous toy for children.
Programming the Speed Controller
• Switch off the speed controller.
• Connect the 3-pole control connection (e.g. JR plug) of the speed controller to the programming card and
observe correct polarity of the plug:
Black = minus/-, earth/GND (for some speed controllers also a brown cable)
Red = plus/+, operating voltage
White = control signal (for some speed controllers also a yellow cable)
• Connect the control unit to the rechargeable battery pack and switch the control unit on.
The LEDs on the programming card light up one after another and the speed controller/motor emits 3
tone signals
The sounds are generated by a short start-up of the brushless motor. Depending on the motor,
this sound may be very low or inaudible.
In this case, observe the LEDs on the programming card or speed controller.
The number and type of the tone signals may be different for newer speed controllers.
• You can make settings as desired by shortly pressing the corresponding buttons on the programming
card; an LED shows the respective setting:
The following settings are possible:
"Reverse Power": Here you can switch off reverse driving ("OFF") or set the maximum speed for
reverse driving ("LO" = slow, "MI" = medium and "HI" = fast.
OFF
LO
"Start Power": With this setting, you can determine the starting torque of the motor: 8 different levels
are possible.
"Drag Brake": When the throttle at the transmitter is moved to the neutral position, the motor brake is
activated and the vehicle slows accordingly. 8 different levels are possible.
The function corresponds to the motor brake in a "real" car, e.g. when you take your foot off of the gas
pedal with a gear engaged without stepping on the brake yet.
MI
HI
"Battery Type": Set the battery type used by you here. According to this setting, the speed controller
switches off automatically in case the voltage of the connected battery gets too low. If the settings are
wrong, the battery can be totally discharged.
The cut-off voltage depends on the battery type.
In the "AUTO" setting, cut-off happens at 70% of the voltage the speed controller measures when it is
switched on. Therefore, a fully charged battery pack must be connected each time when using the
"AUTO" settings. Otherwise, the battery may be totally discharged and damaged by it!
Observe the operating instructions of the speed controller or motor regarding which battery
type or number of cells may be used.
"Auto/Manual": This button is used for selecting how the neutral position of the transmitter is
recognised.
In the "Auto" position, the current position of the throttle/brake lever on the remote control is taken as the
neutral setting when the control unit is switched on.
In the "Manual" position, the full throttle and neutral positions can be programmed; see next chapter:
"Programming the Full Throttle and Neutral Positions".
After activating and confirming the "Manual" settings, this programming must be performed
within 15 seconds, since the speed controller will otherwise use the "Auto" settings for reasons
of safety.
• Press the "Enter" button again after making your settings. The LEDs flash, the settings made on the
programming card are transmitted to the speed controller and saved, and the motor emits 5 beeps.
• Switch off the speed controller.
• Separate the speed controller from the programming card and connect it to your receiver; observe
correct connections, since the speed controller will not work otherwise.
Programming Full Throttle and Neutral Positions
Caution!
Place the model vehicle so that the drive wheels do not touch the ground or any objects. Do
not touch the drive mechanism and do not block it! Risk of injury!
• Switch on your transmitter. (Check battery state!) Put the trimming control in its centre position; put the
throttle lever in its neutral position (release lever).
• Switch on the speed controller.
a) Automatic recognition of the neutral setting is active (see the "Programming Section", setting
"Auto" under the function "Neutral Auto/Manual"
• Observe the operating instructions for your speed controller.
• The motor emits a sound signal (e.g. "C-D-E") to indicate that the speed controller.
• Then the motor emits another sound signal (e.g. "DA-LA-DA-LA") when the current throttle lever position
is recognised as the neutral position.
• The speed controller (and consequently the vehicle) is now ready for operation.
b) Manual recognition of the neutral setting is active (see the "Programming Section", setting
"Manual" under the function "Neutral Auto/Manual"
• The motor should emit 3 tone signals (if required, observe the operating instructions of the speed
controller).
The following programming must be carried out within 15 seconds, as the control unit will
otherwise return to the automatic recognition mode for safety reasons.
To programme the control unit again, the programming card must be reconnected and the
"Manual" setting must be selected under "Auto/Manual" and must be confirmed with the "Enter"
button. Only then can a new manual setting for the full throttle and neutral positions be made
as described in the following.
• Now move the throttle/brake in the "full throttle forwards" position and keep it there for two seconds. The
motor emits 3 sound signals.
• Now move the throttle/brake lever to the "full throttle backwards" position and keep it there for two
seconds. The motor emits a sound signal.
• At the end, move the throttle/brake lever to the neutral position and release it. After 2 seconds the motor
emits a sound signal ("DA-LA-DA-LA") and the positions are stored.
• Then switch the speed controller off and back on again after a few seconds; otherwise, the programming
will not be accepted.
• The speed controller (and consequently the vehicle) is now ready for operation.
