! Read the instructions before using the unit for the first time
! Avoid heat build-up:
Provide unhindered air circulation around the controller.
! Do not connect the flight battery with reversed polarity:
Connecting the battery leads in reverse instantly ruins the
controller.
For this reason: • red wire to the POSITIVE terminal ( + ),
• black wire to the NEGATIVE terminal ( - ).
! When soldering or otherwise working on the motor or
controller:
Always disconnect the battery (short-circuit / injury hazard!)
! When testing and running the power system:
Do not run the motor holding it in your hand; secure the model
well. Check that there is nothing obstructing the propeller. Keep
all loose objects well away from the propeller, especially those
which could be sucked into the propeller or blown away
(clothing, small items, paper etc.). Never stand in or in front of the
rotational plane of the propeller (injury hazard).

Soldering may be necessary to connect the controller. Soldering
requires a certain level of care, as the quality of the joints determines
the reliability of the power system:
•
Use only a type of solder designed for electronic soldering work
•
Do not use acid-based soldering flux
•
Parts to be soldered must be heated sufficiently, but not
excessively

Connecting the battery plugs
One end of the controller features only two cables plus the receiver
lead; the battery plugs are soldered to the wires at this end. Cut the
battery wires (attached to the battery) to the required length. Strip
the wire ends to suit the battery plugs. Use cable stripping pliers for
this, or a knife if you have no strippers. Take care not to cut too
deeply, or you could damage the conductors. Maintain correct
polarity when soldering the battery plugs to the wires.
Important: it is essential to ensure that correct polarity is
maintained!!
Reversed polarity inevitably ruins the controller completely!
Connecting the motor to the controller
One end of the controller features three cables; the motor is
connected to the wires at this end. Cut down the controller cables to
the minimum possible length - don't shorten the wires attached to
the motor! Strip the wire ends so that sound soldered joints can be
made to the three motor wires. All three soldered joints must be
insulated to prevent short-circuits, using heat-shrink sleeving or
insulating tape. Once you have established the correct direction of
motor rotation, i.e. when soldering is finished, insulate the joints
permanently with heat-shrink sleeves.
Reversing the direction of motor rotation
If you find that the motor rotates in the wrong direction, simply swap
over any two of the three wires running to the motor - that's all you
have to do to reverse the direction of motor rotation!

SING THE POWER SYSTEM FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Connect the controller's receiver cable (BEC) to the receiver.
- MULTIPLEX RC systems: channel 4 = throttle / motor
- HITEC RC Systems: channel 3 = throttle / motor
2. If you have a programmable RC system: set the servo travel for
throttle /motor to 100% on both sides of neutral.
