Caution!
Observe the Chapter entitled “Safety notes”.
Once you have taken note of the safety informati-
on and safety functions, and completed the prepa-
rations as described above, the speed controller
can be used for the rst time, taking into account
the safety notes.
· First switch the transmitter on.
· Move the throttle trim to the Idle end-point.
· Move the throttle control to the Idle position.
· Connect the ight / drive battery, maintaining correct
polarity!
· The speed controller detects the Idle position, and
conrms this with a sequence of beeps.
· If the controller is programmed for use with LiPo
batteries, the number of cells detected is indicated
by the corresponding number of long medium-
frequency beeps.
In NiMH mode you will hear three brief, high-
frequency beeps.
· The controller conrms that it is ready for use by
generating a double sequence of beeps.
· The screen of your MULTIPLEX radio control trans-
mitter now displays the sensor values for voltage,
current, temperature and motor speed, plus the
residual battery capacity. For details of the sensor
conguration procedure please refer to the chapter
entitled “Conguration”.
· After each ight or run, disconnect the ight / drive
battery rst, then switch off the receiver, then switch
the transmitter off.
Residual battery capacity indicator
By default the battery charge counter (residual capa-
city indicator) for your battery is set up in such a way
that in LiPo mode the battery capacity (as dened by
the user) is set to the full value (battery fully charged)
if the cell voltage is higher than 4.10 Volt.
If you are using a battery with a lower voltage, or have
selected NiMH mode, then the controller defaults to
the capacity value of the battery last connected to it.
As an option, the capacity indicator can also be reset
to the maximum value entered in the Conguration.
This is the procedure:
- Disconnect the ight / drive battery
- Move the throttle stick to the full-throttle position
- Connect the ight / drive battery
- Disconnect the ight / drive battery
This procedure resets the battery charge counter.
