1. Connect the controller according to the above photo

graph (with the exception of the power battery)

2. Turn on the Tx and move the throttle stick fully for

3. Connect Power Battery to the controller.

4. The controller will confirm connection with a short

5. After approximately 10 seconds you will hear a double

beep as confirmation of the fully forward position.

6. Move throttle stick to closed position, a short beep will

7. Finally move the throttle stick to the reverse position; a

triple beep confirms the programming of the reverse position. Note: If after (step 3.1.2) the red LED illuminates, then the SERVO- REVERSE function must be operated in the Tx, remove power sup- ply, reconnect and restart the programming (step 3.1.1). The fully forward position of the stick must be set near the mechani- cal stick limit.

3.2 Programming the stick positions “forward” and

“stop” Programming the forwards and stop stick positions of the controller should only be used in forwards operation (no reverse!); this is made in a same manner up to step 3.1.6. The programmed stick positions are confirmed with a triple beep.

4.1 Programming the speed controller parameters wit-

hout using the Programmer Five parameters may be programmed in this manner. Entry into programming mode is made by:

1. Controller connected as per the above photograph (except the

2. Turn Tx on and move throttle stick to forward position.

3. Connect Rx battery supply

4. Controller will beep to confirm.

5. After approximately 10 seconds, you will hear a double beep

and after a further 3 seconds, a triple beep will be heard. Parameter 1 has been chosen when the controller continuously emits single beeps and the LED flashes. The following stick movements set the program Parameters: Move the throttle stick to closed position and quickly return to full throttle. The controller will indicate the effective programming of Parameter 2 by a continuing double beep and flash of the LED. For programming Parameters 3, 4 and 5 the sequence described above must be followed. To change the Parameters, the throttle stick must be moved quickly from full throttle to the stop position and held for a minimum of 3 se- conds in the stop position. To set the parameters, move the throttle stick from the stop position to full throttle and back. POR: start protection, stops involuntary starting of the motor PCO: Low voltage cut-off, the motor will be stopped before the volt- ages reaches a level where control is lost and potential deep dis- charge damage to the cells can occur. SPS: Super Programming System Cool Power FET: Latest generation power transistor Opto: Galvanic separation of the motor interference and receiver. Rx-Filter: switches the controller OFF when a transmitter signal is not present or corrupted. TP: Thermal Protection Hec: High motor frequency

3.1 Programming the stick positions “forward”, “stop”

4.2 Characteristics, protective functions

In the following example, the setting up of the controller will be made with the stick positions method and followed by the programming of the model type: AIR (power model) and brake ON used as an example.

4.3.1 Programming the stick positions

1. Switch the transmitter on, and move the throttle stick to the “forward” position.

2. Connect the drive battery to the speed controller (unit emits a brief beep).

3. After about ten seconds a double series of beeps confirms that it has detected the “stick forward” position.

4. Move the throttle stick to the “stop” position. A brief series of beeps confirms that the controller has detected the “stop” position.

5. Disconnect the drive battery from the speed controller.

4.3.2 Programming the controller parameters

1. Switch the transmitter on, and move the throttle stick to the “forward” position.

2. Connect the drive battery to the speed controller (unit emits a brief beep).

3. After about ten seconds you will hear a double series of beeps, followed by a triple series of beeps after a further three seconds.

4. The controller is now in programming mode for Parameter 1 (continuous single beeps and LED flashes).

5. Select Parameter 4 by moving the throttle stick four times from the “forward” position to the “stop” position and back to the “forward” position again (continuous quadruple beeps and LED flashes). 6. To change the parameter you must first move the throttle stick from the “forward” position to the “stop” position, leaving the throttle stick at the “stop” position for at least three seconds.

7. Select the “Air” mode (beep sounds / LED lights up every two seconds).

8. The change is stored by moving the throttle stick from the “stop” position to the “forward” position.

4.3.3 Setting Air Brake On

1. When you have stored the setting as described above, the speed controller returns to parameter select: Parameter 4.

2. Select Parameter 3 by moving the throttle stick four times from the “forward” position to the “stop” position and back to the “forward” position again (continuous triple beeps and LED flashes). 3. To change the parameter you must first move the throttle stick from the “forward” position to the “stop” position, leaving the throttle stick at the “stop” position for at least three seconds. 4. The controller now displays the currently set brake function: Air Brake ON (beep sounds / LED flashes every 0.5 seconds) or Air Brake OFF (beep sounds / LED lights up every two seconds). If you wish to change the parameter, move the throttle stick rapidly from the “stop” position to the “forward” position and back.

5. The change is stored by moving the throttle stick from the “stop” position to the “forward” position.

6. Disconnect the speed controller from the drive battery.Operating Instructions

5. Using the Programmer to change settings

Use the robbe Programme No.8642 will enable the easy and effi- cient programming of the controller to suit the model specific re- quirements. This clear, user-friendly unit allows quick and secure programming to be made via the unit’s LCD.

5.1 Connecting the Programmer

5.2 Navigating using the Programmer

The operation of the Programmer is extremely simple. Using the outer arrow buttons cursor up or down to arrive at your choice of programming mode. Furthermore, one can change the model type when depressing both arrow buttons. The middle buttons DEC (-) and INC (+) serves to choose and alter the settings.

5.3 Overview of programming facilities

With the exception of a few minor differences between the three modes, all program modes are similarly arranged in a menu format; these are listed in the table below: Helicopter Boat / Car Aircraft Select Battery Select Battery Select Battery Cut Off Voltage Cut Off Voltage Cut Off Voltage Cut Off Type Cut Off Type Cut Off Type Motor Direction Motor Direction Motor Direction Advance Timing Advance Timing Advance Timing Acceleration Acceleration Acceleration Start Power Start Power Start Power Response of Governor Reverse Function Air Brake Type Governor On / Off Motor pole Num Airbrake On/Off Motor Pole Num Gear Ratio Motor pole Num Gear Ratio Max.

6. PROGRAMMING IN DETAIL

Use the DEC or INC button to set the desired battery type. When you have selected the new battery type you may find that the previously set “CUT OFF VOLTAGE” and “CUT OFF TYPE” parameters have changed. The DEC and INC buttons are always used to set the modes.

The Cut Off voltage is determined by the selected battery type. With LiPo in Auto Mode, then the controller cuts off at 3V per cell; a NiCad will be 5.5 V total voltage. Adjust these values using DEC and INC buttons. The scale is from 4.5-50 Volt.

In Cut Off Type mode you can select the cut-off method when bat- tery voltage falls to the set threshold. The options are “Soft Off” or “Hard Off”. Use the DEC and INC buttons to set the modes.

In Motor Direction mode you can select the direction of rotation of your motor: the two options are normal and reversed.

Advance Timing is an alternative term for motor timing. This mode alters the advance of the rotational field, which has a similar effect to “advancing the ignition point”. In general terms a setting of 8° is suit- able for most motors. If you wish to use a special set-up for your motor, we recommend the following ranges of values: 0° to 10° for in-runner motors, and 15° to 25° for out-runner motors.

IWhen in Air mode (model aircraft), the controller’s motor brake effect can be adjusted, enabling the user to decide whether the motor comes to a halt gradually or suddenly. You can select the modes Slow / Nor- mal / Fast, or a percentage setting (5 - 100% - 100% equates to a sud- den stop) using the DEC and INC buttons.

6.9 Air Brake On / Off - Air mode only

This menu point is used for switching the motor brake on or off.

6.10 Reverse function (Boat and Car modes only)

In Boat or Car mode the Reverse function is used for selecting whet- her the motor works only in one direction of rotation, or in forward and reverse. In “One Way” mode (only one direction of rotation) the motor’s direction of rotation can also be selected: the two options are forward and reverse. In “Two Way” mode the speed controller is set up for forward / reverse operation. Caution: changing the direction or motor rotation may cause the cancellation of other settings.

6.11 Governor Response - Helicopter mode only

This mode is used for setting the characteristics of the speed control- ler in speed governor (regulator) mode. The available options are Slo- west / Slow / Normal / Fast / Fastest. Caution: the faster the value you select, the higher the current drawn from the battery. We recommend that you select a fairly low setting in order to avoid premature damage to the speed controller and / or the flight battery.

6.12 Governor On / Off - Helicopter mode only

In the Start Power menu you can set the level of power (torque) which the motor produces initially, i.e. from a stand-still. If you are using the controller in a model helicopter, the value should be small in order to avoid premature gear wear. The available values are Lowest / Low / Normal / High / Highest.

In Acceleration mode you can set how fast the controller runs up to maximum speed. This is important if the throttle function is assigned to a switch, as it determines the delay, i.e. the speed with which the motor ramps up to “full-throttle”. Example: Lowest acceleration or Highest acceleration. Variable parameters: Lowest / Low / Normal / High / Highest, set using the DEC and INC buttons. This mode is used for switching speed governor (regulator) operation on and off. Governor mode stabilises the pre-set rotational speed and keeps it virtually constant. The options are: “On” mode for stabilised, or “Off” mode for non-stabilised.Operating Instructions Roxxy BL-Control 900 series Opto

This mode shows you the maximum and average rotational speeds recorded during the last flight, taking into account the values set under Points 6.14 and 6.15.

Download mode is used for writing (transferring) set values to the speed controller. Press the INC button to start the process, and the Programmer then beeps once every second until the procedure is complete. If you wish to interrupt the process, simply press the DEC button.

Restore Memory is used to access values which have been stored in the Programmer’s own memory. Press the INC button to start the process, and the Programmer then beeps once every second until the procedure is complete. If you wish to interrupt the process, simply press the DEC button.

Backup Memory mode allows you to store permanently the selec- ted values in the Programmer’s integral memory. Press the INC but- ton to start the process, and the Programmer then beeps once every second until the procedure is complete. The values set on the speed controller itself are not affected by this action. If you wish to interrupt the process, simply press the DEC button.
