Core RC PACE-45R User Manual

Sensored/Sensorless Brushless Speed Controller for Car or Truck
Thank you for your purchasing the CORE R/C PACE-45R Electronic Speed Controller. This unit is
specifically designed for operating Sensored/Sensorless brushless motors. High power systems for R/C
models can be very dangerous and we strongly suggest that you read this manual carefully. We have no
control over the correct use, installation, application or maintenance of these products, thus no liability
shall be assumed nor accepted for any damages, losses of costs resulting from the use of this item. Any
claims arising from the operating, failure or malfunction etc. will be denied. We assume no liability for
personal injury, property damage or consequential damages resulting from our product or our
workmanship. As far as is legally permitted, the obligation for compensation is limited to the invoice
amount of the product in question.
Features:
 Enhanced throttle response, excellent acceleration, strong brakes and throttle linearity.
 Using advanced software interface to set up or update the software or using the optional
programming card to make adjustments.
 Using PC or optional programming card to program forward or reverse throttle limit.
 Using PC or optional programming card to program braking percentage.
 Multiple protection features: Low voltage cut-off protection, over-heat protection, throttle signal
loss protection and motor blocked protection.
 Compatible with most sensored brushless motors including; Speed Passion, Nosram, Thunder Power,
GM, Novak, LRP & Orion.
 Zero Timing „Blinky‟ Mode.
Begin to Use The PACE-45R :
Before using the PACE-45R please carefully check all connections are correct.
* Connected with Sensored Brushless motor
When using a Sensored Brushless motor, the Blue motor wire A, Yellow motor wire B and Orange motor
wire C of the PACE-45R must be connected with the motor A,B,C respectively. It is necessary to connect
the Sensor wire to the “Sensor” socket on the PACE-45R. Don‟t change the wires when running in
sensored mode.
* Connected with Sensorless Brushless motor
When using a Sensorless Brushless motor, the Blue motor wire A, Yellow motor wire B and Orange motor
wire C of the PACE-45R can be connected with the motor wires freely. If the motor runs in the opposite
direction, please swap Blue motor wire A and Orange motor wire C.
* Connect the PACE-45R signal wire to the Receiver
