4. Programming the stick positions

5. Programming the speed controller parameters without using the Programmer

There are five programmable parameters.

This is the procedure for entering programming mode:

1. Connect the speed controller as shown in the wiring diagram (but don't connect the drive battery).
2. Switch the transmitter on, and move the throttle stick to the "forward" position.
3. Connect the drive battery to the speed controller.
4. The controller emits a brief series of beeps to confirm connection.
5. After about ten seconds you will hear a double series of beeps, followed by a triple series of beeps after a further three seconds.

The speed controller now emits a continuous series of single beeps and LED fl ashes to confirm that Parameter 1 has been selected.

The parameter to be programmed is selected using the following sequence of throttle stick positions: move the throttle stick briefly from the "forward" position to the "stop" position then back to the "forward" position again. The controller now emits continuous double beeps and LED fl ashes to confirm that Parameter 2 has been selected. Repeat the sequence of throttle stick movements described above in order to select Parameters 3, 4 and 5.

	Parameter type Beep LED
Parameter 1 Battery type 1 x 1 x
Parameter 2 Direction of motor rotation 2 x 2 x
Parameter 3 - Brake ON/OFF (AIR)		3 x 3 x
- Brake ON/OFF (HELI)
Parameter 4 Model type AIR/HELI 4 x 4 x
Parameter 5 Model type BOAT/CAR		5 x 5 x

To change the parameter you must first move the throttle stick from the "forward" position to the "stop" position, and leave the throttle stick in the "stop" position for at least three seconds.

The actual parameter is altered by moving the throttle stick rapidly from the "stop" position to the "forward" position and back.

Parameter type	LED ON Beep every 2 Sec.	LED flashes Beep every 0,5 Sec.
Battery type	LiPo	NiCD/NiMH
Direction of rotation	Normal	Reverse
Brake (AIR)	OFF	ON
Governor (HELI)	OFF	ON
Reverse (CAR, BOAT)	OFF	ON
Model type (AIR/HELI)	AIR	HELI
Model type (BOAT/CAR)	BOAT	CAR

The change is stored by moving the throttle stick from the "stop" position to the "forward" position.

The final step is to disconnect the drive battery; this concludes the process and adopts the programmed settings. The speed controller is now programmed, and is ready for use.

5.1. Characteristics, protective functions

BEC Integral receiver power supply.
POR Power-on guard, prevents the motor starting accidentally.
PCO	Low voltage cut-off. The speed controller switches the motor off in good time when the battery is nearly discharged, in order to reserve sufficient battery capacity for controlling the model, and in order to avoid deep-discharging the drive battery (optionally for NC/NiMH or LiPo battery).
hec	High pulse frequency for fine control of motor speed; also avoids premature magnet degradation.
SPS Super Programming System
Cool Power FET New generation of transistors
WP Splashproof construction (Water Protect)
Hec High motor frequency
Opto Galvanic separation between motor interference and receiver.
RX-Filter Switches the speed controller off if the transmitter signal is absent or invalid.
TOP Double overload protection (Thermal Overload Protection)
TP Thermal fuse (Thermal Protection)

5.2. Programming example

The following example elucidates the method of setting up the speed controller to match individual stick positions, followed by the programming of the model type: AIR and brake ON.

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.

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.

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.

6. Settings with the programmer

The Programmer, No. 31 8633, is designed to make programming the speed controller easier; it also allows more specific programming to suit particular models. This compact unit is easy to handle, and provides a fast, reliable means of programming using the integral LCD screen.

Navigating using the Programmer

The Programmer could hardly be easier to use: the outer arrow buttons are used to move up or down in order to select the programming modes of your choice. You can also use the arrow buttons to select the model type by holding both buttons pressed in. The purpose of the two centre buttons DEC (-) and INC (+) is to select and/or change settings.

7. Programming in detail

1. Battery Type

SELECT BATTERY
LiPo + AIR

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.

2. Cut Off Voltage

CUT OFF VOLTAGE AUTO HELI

The Cut Off Voltage varies according to the battery type you have set. If you have selected a LiPo battery, the speed controller switches off at 3V per cell in Auto mode; if you have selected a NiCd pack, the unit switches off at 5.5V (variable cut-off type). However, you can set the value yourself using the DEC and INC buttons; the range extends from 4.5V to 33.0V .

3. Cut Off Type

CUT OFF TYPE SOFT OFF HELI

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

4. Motor Direction

MOTOR DIRECTION Reverse HELI

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

5. Advance Timing

ADVANCE TIMING 8 HELI

Advance Timing is an alternative term for motor timing. This mode alters the advance of the rotational fi eld, which has a similar effect to "advancing the ignition point". In general terms a setting of 8^ is suitable 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.

6. Acceleration

ACCELERATION Highest. HELI

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.

7. Start Power

START POWER Lowest HELI

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.

8. Air Brake Type

AIR BRAKE TYPE Fast AIR

In Air mode (model aircraft) it is possible to adjust the effect of the motor brake, and thereby determine whether the motor comes to a halt gently (soft) or abruptly (hard). The available options are Slow / Normal / Fast, and can be selected using the DEC and INC buttons.

9. Air Brake On/Off - Air mode only

AIR BRAKE On/Off On +AIR

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

1. Reverse function (Boat and Car modes only)

REVERSE FUNCTION Two Way BOAT

In Boat or Car mode the Reverse function is used for selecting whether 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.

11. Governor Response - Helicopter mode only

RESPONSE Normal

OF GOV HELI

This mode is used for setting the characteristics of the speed controller in speed governor (regulator) mode. The available options are Slowest / 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.

12. Governor On / Off - Helicopter mode only

GOVERNER ON/OFF OFF HELI

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.

13. Motor Pole Number

MOTOR POLE NUM 2 POLE HELI

In Motor Pole Number mode you can enter the number of poles in your motor. This value is important for indicating the exact rotational speed. The available range extends from 2 to 36 poles.

14. Gear Ratio

GEAR RATIO 1.0:1 HELI

This mode allows you to enter the individual gearbox ratio you are using. The value for rotational speed indication is calculated using the number of motor poles and the gearbox reduction ratio. The available range of values is from 1.0:1 to 25.0:1.

15. Max. RPM & Average RPM

MAXIMUM RPM 01881 RPM T HELI

AVERAGE RPM 019774 RPN HELI

This mode shows you the maximum and average rotational speeds recorded during the last flight, taking into account the values set under Points 14 and 15.

16. Down Load

DOWN LOAD REALLY? No HELI

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.

17. Restore Memory

RESTORE MEMORY REALLY? No NEHLI

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.

18. Backup Memory

BACKUP MEMORY REALLY? No HELI

Backup Memory mode allows you to store permanently the selected values in the Programmer's integral memory. Press the INC button 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.
