4. Resetting the controller to the factory settings
If a controller reset is necessary, you can perform a reset here. This
activates the following parameters:
- Brake: Off
- Battery type: LiPo with auto. detection of the number of cells
- Undervoltage threshold: 3.0 V / 60%
- Timing stage: Automatic
- SBEC voltage: 5.0 V
- Governor mode: Switched off
- Direction of motor rotation: Clockwise
- Start strength: Medium acceleration (30%)
- Cut-off mode: Throttling
5. Adjusting the timing
The timing can be adapted to the respective motor type. Five fixed
timing stages and an automatic setting are available for this pur-
pose. This allows you to optimally adjust the timing to your motor.
- Auto: The controller calculates optimum timing automatically
- 2 : Adjustment for most internal rotor motor types
o
- 8 : Adjustment for most internal rotor motor types
o
- 15 : Adjustment for multi-pole motors, with six or more poles
o
- 22 : Adjustment for multipolar motors, with six or more poles
o
- 30 : Adjustment for motors with a very large number of poles
o
The automatic setting is recommended for most applications. When
aiming to achieve particularly high power throughput, the first timing
stage (2° or 8°) is recommended for two-pole internal rotor motors
and the highest timing stage (30°) for multi-pole external rotor mo-
tors.
Important: Always follow the instructions of the motor manufacturer
and remember to carry out a test run on the ground and to check the
available range after making any changes.
6. Selecting the SBEC voltage
ROXXY PROcontrol controllers are equipped with an integrated
SBEC circuit. It is possible to set four stages for the output volt-
age at the controllers (except for PROcontrol 45). Only two stages,
5.0 V and 6.0 V, are possible with 45 A type (#1-02103). This al-
lows you to select the optimum power supply for the other electronic
components of your model. Pay attention to the specifications of the
respective manufacturer.
- Stage 1: 5.0 V
- Stage 2: 6.0 V
- Stage 3: 7.4 V
- Stage 4: 8.4 V
7. Activating the speed control for helicopters
This option is intended for use with helicopters. The speed is kept
constant, depending on the respective position of the throttle joy-
stick, despite load changes.
- RPM off: Speed control deactivated
- Soft start: For the first 'soft start', a delay of 8 seconds is
effective before reaching full speed. For the second 'soft start',
a delay of 15 seconds is effective before reaching full speed.
Important: If the motor is switched off again within 3 seconds of
being started, it can be started as usual next time. If the motor is not
switched off again within 3 seconds of being started, the next start
is a 'soft start'.

Two different Governor modes are available:
Mode 1: This mode is intended for motors with low specific speed
(kV), it includes a delay time of 15 seconds until full speed is
reached. When the throttle joystick is moved to a position of 80% or
less of 'full throttle', changes in speed (generated by load changes)
are detected and automatically compensated to ensure the speed
remains constant.
Mode 2: This mode is intended for motors with a high specific
speed (kV), it includes a delay time of 15 seconds until full speed
is reached. When the throttle joystick is moved to a position of 80%
or less of 'full throttle'. Here, too, the controller attempts to keep the
speed as constant as possible.
Important: When Governor mode is activated, the brake is auto-
matically deactivated and undervoltage detection is set to reverse
control. This occurs irrespective of the pre-settings. These two spec-
ifications are very important when operating a helicopter, as helicop-
ters must not be operated with the brake set and immediate motor
cut-off can quickly lead to the loss of the model.
Below 50,000 turns, a motor is categorized as a 'low kV number'
and in the range of 100,000 to 200,000 turns, it is considered to be
a 'high kV number'. The following formula is used for calculation:
Turns = number of poles x kV value of the motor x operating volt-
age. Accordingly, an 8-pole motor with 1,040 kV operated with a 6S
(25 V) battery has 208,000 turns (8 x 1,040 x 25). Mode 2 needs to
be selected for this motor.
8. Reversing the direction of rotation
The running direction of the motor can be reversed either by inter-
changing any two motor connections or be reversed by switching at
this point.
- Normal
- Reversed
9. Selecting the start strength
It is possible to adjust the start strength in nine stages. This allows
you to perfectly adjust motor start-up or the starting current to the
drive of your model.
- 10%, 15%, 20% are the settings for motors that
required a low starting current
- 25%, 30%, 35% should be selected for motors that require
a medium starting current
- 40%, 45%, 50 % are suitable for motors that require a high
starting current
10. Cut-off type
There are two possible ways in which the controller behaves when
the battery's undervoltage threshold is reached.
- The power of the motor is reduced and it continues to run at
reduced power.
- The motor is cut off.
