Programming
The programming card enables simple programming of the available speed controller settings. There are two plug
options on the programming card front. The right socket serves external voltage supply of 4.8 to 6 V if the speed
controller to be programmed does not have any BEC system. The left socket is intended for connection of the speed
controller.
Observe correct polarity when connecting it. For this, observe the marks on the programming card casing.
Proceed as follows to programme the speed controller:
Connect a fully charged drive battery to the speed controller and switch it on.
Now connect the servo plug with the programming card, observe correct polarity of the servo plug: (black = minus/-).
The display of the programming cart lights up and shows the start-up message.
The voltage supply is usually achieved by a „BEC system" integrated in most speed controllers and using
the receiver power supply from the drive battery (see operating instructions of the speed controller!).
If the speed controller to be programmed does not have this BEC system, the programming card has to
be additionally supplied from an external voltage source. For this, plug a suitable receiver battery (4.8 to
6 V) into the left connection socket in addition to the speed controller servo socket; also observe correct
polarity.
If the programming card is to be operated with external voltage, the programming card must be connected
to the external supply voltage first. Only then must the speed controller be connected.
Use the middle buttons „ " and „ " of the programming card to select the desired function to be changed.
The first push of the button „ " displays the type and version of the speed controller's firmware.
Pushing the button „ " again briefly permits selection of the different functions that you want to set (see description
below).
Use the outer buttons „ " and „ " of the programming card to change the settings of the currently selected menu item.
For this, the display shows an error at the left and/or right to indicate which button(s) can change the settings.
When you switch off the speed controller again or disconnect it from the drive battery, all changes are automatically
saved in the speed controller.
Disconnect the servo plug of the speed controller from the programming card and connect the plug to the intended
receiver slot again. Your model can now be operated with the newly programmed speed controller.
The following „menu items" can be set:
1. „Battery Type"
An undervoltage recognition for LiPo batteries is automatically active in the speed controller of the „Phase" series (3.0
V/cell). Therefore, you need to specify in this menu item which battery type is used for operation of the speed controller.
If a LiPo-battery is used for operation, the battery type „Lipo" must be programmed. The following settings are possible:
„Nicd/Nimh" (NiCd-/NiMH-battery), „Lipo 2" (2-cell LiPo-battery) or „Lipo 3" (3-cell LiPo-battery).
2. „Operation Mode" (driving mode)
This is where you determine driving mode. „Forward only", „Forward/Reverse". Switching from forward to reverse
driving does not happen at once, but with a break to protect the gear, wheels and battery capacity.
When switching between forward and reverse driving, the throttle lever must be put in neutral position
briefly (approx. 2 seconds). If the throttle lever is shifted directly from forwards to reverse, the speed
controller's brake will be activated (the vehicle will NOT go backwards!).
3. "Initial Brake" (applying the brake force)
The preset value is used to define how high the braking effect at the beginning of the brake range (position of the
accelerator pedal on the transmitter) will be.
Therefore, the set brake power comes into effect if the accelerator lever is set from full throttle to the beginning of the
brake range (thus, near the neutral position). The brake can be programmed in ten stages (the higher the preset value,
the higher the braking effect): 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%. The higher the preset value,
the higher the loads on the gearbox, engine and speed controller.
4. „Drag Brake" (motor brake)
When the throttle at the transmitter is moved to the neutral position from forwards driving, the motor brake is activated.
The function corresponds to the motor braking function in a „real" car when you take your foot off the throttle pedal. The
motor brake can be programmed in up to ten levels. (The higher the value set, the stronger the brake effect): „off" (=0%,
off), 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%.
5. „Motor Timing"
This setting influences motor running characteristics (similar to early ignition of a combustion engine). You have the
following setting options: „low", „normal" (recommended); „high". Setting „low" means that the motor has a little more
torque as compared to the basic settings, and a little lower maximum speed. Setting „high" means that the motor has
a little higher maximum speed as compared to the basic settings, and a little less torque. In both cases, the current values
change however. Therefore, also observe compliance with the motor and speed controller specifications. Observe the
temperatures of the motor and speed controller in operation.
6. „Acceleration" (start-up dynamics)
This setting adjusts initial acceleration. „low", „normal", „high". The higher the setting, the motor strain will there be on
the motor and gear and the higher the current when starting up the vehicle.
7. „Forward Limit" (limitation of the forwards driving speed)
This sets the maximum speed your vehicle should reach when the transmitter sends „full throttle". The setting „0" means
no limitation. The setting „90" means that maximum forwards speed is reduced by 90%. The following settings can be
made: 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%.
8. „Reverse Limit" (limitation of the reverse driving speed)
This function can only be used if the speed controller is programmed for reverse driving (see programme step 2 = driving
mode). Use percentages to determine the speed for reverse driving in relationship to forwards driving. The higher the
value set, the faster you can drive backwards. The following settings can be made: 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%,
70%, 80%, 90%, 100%.
9. „Drive Frequency" (cycle frequency of the speed controller)
Cycle frequency can be switched between „8kHz" (recommended) and „16kHz". Since switching the cycle frequency
requires observation of many factors, like motor type, speed controller used, speed, current values, etc., we recommend
to deviate from the basic settings only in exceptions and under consideration of all necessary parameters.
10. „Dead Band" (neutral position)
This setting makes it possible to set the neutral position range of the transmitter (the section of the throttle/brake lever
path to be recognised as neutral position). The lower the value set, the more sensitive will the motor control react around
the throttle/brake lever neutral position of the transmitter. The following values are available: 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%.
11. „Reverse Rotation" (rotating direction reversal)
This function changes the rotating direction of the motor without swapping the cables between the speed controller and
the motor: „normal" = normal rotating direction, „reverse" = reversed rotating direction.
12. „Default Settings"
Setting this function to „yes" will delete all changes made and restore the speed controller's factory settings.
