Key words and their meaning:
Warning!
Indicates a potential hazard which could result in
personal injury.
· Do not operate the controller until you have read
right through these operating instructions and safety
notes, and are sure you understand them!
· Always observe the correct sequence when
switching on and off, otherwise there is a risk of the
electric motor bursting into life unexpectedly, which
could be dangerous:
· Always switch the transmitter on rst, and only then
connect the ight / drive battery and / or switch the
receiving system on. When switching off: always
disconnect the ight / drive battery rst, then switch
the receiving system off, and only then switch the
transmitter off.
· Install the power train (motor, speed controller,
battery) securely in the model.
· Always remove the propeller (aircraft or boat) or rotor
blades prior to test-running and set-up work.
· Ensure that there are no persons situated in the
vicinity of the propeller (boat or aircraft) or the rotor
blades.
· Never run the motor when holding it in your hand.
· Ensure that there is adequate space around the
motor for the propeller to rotate. Remove any loose
objects (clothing, small items, paper, etc.) which
could be sucked in or blown away by the propeller.
Never stand or allow others to stand in front of the
propeller plane or in line with it (injury hazard).
· When carrying out soldering work or installing the
power system components (motor and speed
controller) always disconnect the battery beforehand
(short-circuit / injury hazard).
Caution!
Indicates a potential operating error which could
result in damage to the product.
· Under no circumstances is it permissible to carry out
technical modications to the controller yourself.
· Use genuine MULTIPLEX accessories and replace-
ment parts exclusively.
· Avoid heat build-up and overheating!
It is important to provide adequate cooling to the
controller, especially when using high-capacity
batteries. Air must be allowed to circulate freely
around the controller. The cross-sectional area of
the air outlet opening needs to be at least twice
as great as that of the air intake. If the transmitter
generates a warning at the speed controller address
while the controller is operating, you must land the
model without delay and provide better air circulation
around the controller.
· Check the polarity of the ight / drive battery!
Connecting the battery with reversed polarity will
instantly ruin the speed controller! It is therefore
essential to keep to this arrangement:
Connect the red wire to the positive (+) terminal;
and the black wire to the negative (-) terminal.
· Do not allow your ight / drive battery to become
deep-discharged!
· The speed controller features a low-voltage cut-off
circuit to prevent your batteries from becoming
deep-discharged. It is possible to set up warning
thresholds and an alarm for voltage and residual bat-
tery capacity to suit the type of battery you are using.
· Take care always to select the appropriate battery
type. In LiPo mode it is essential to check that the
controller has detected the correct cell count.
· If you are using a motor which varies from the stan-
dard MULTIPLEX conguration (14 poles, 15° timing),
you will need to adjust the timing and pole count
using the MULTIPLEX Launcher program.
