Please, pay careful attention to the
following instructions before you start to work with your
new motor and speed controller.
Connections:
The speed controller can be connected to the motor by direct soldering or
with high quality connectors.
Always use new connectors, which should be soldered carefully to the cables
and insulated with Heat shrink tubing. It is possible
to extend the cables to the motor battery pack up to a maximum of 8
inches. Deans Ultra or other high quality connectors are recommended for
connecting the motor battery pack to the controller.
- Solder Controller to the Motor
wires
- Solder appropriate connectors to
the Battery wires
- Insulate all Solder connections
with Heat Shrink Tubing.
- Plug the connector into the
receiver throttle channel.
Installing the Controller:
Install the speed controller in the model so that it is isolated from
vibration and shock, using Velcro or double sided foam
tape. Allow space around it for cooling. Make sure that there is sufficient
cooling of the motor and speed controller by ducting
air through adequate cooling holes from the outside airflow.
Main power packs should be connected at one attempt.
Locate the controller to Avoid multiple touches of the connectors when
installing a fresh motor battery pack
Reversing the motor direction achieved by exchanging the
position of any two wires connected to the motor.
Setting the Timing Mode
It is possible to change the timing on
this generation of speed controllers.
All controllers are supplied in Timing
Mode 1 (Optimized for Hacker Brushless Motors). If you
are using a different brand of motor, set the right timing for optimal
efficiency for your type of brushless motor.
- Timing Mode 1 – (2-5 degrees) optimum timing for Hacker Brushless Motors
- Timing Mode 2 – (10 degrees) optimum for Aveox or Astro motors and for
Maximum RPM on Hacker Brushless Motors
- Timing Mode 3 – (18 degrees) optimum timing for Phaser, Mega, Plettenberg
and for Maximum RPM on Aveox, Astro motors
- Timing Mode 4 – (30 degrees) optimum timing for AXI, Köhler or Actro
motors and for Maximum RPM on Phasor, Mega,
Plettenberg motors
How to change the Timing Mode:
- Switch "On" the transmitter and move
the stick to "full throttle"
- Connect the main power pack and turn
on the receiver switch (if used)
- Wait 5 seconds, you will hear 1 or 2
"beeps" (Brake Mode)
- Wait next 5 seconds
- You will hear a 5 time single
"beep"- Mode 1 (beep...beep...beep...beep...beep)
- 5 time two "beeps" – Mode 2 (beep,beep...beep,beep...beep,beep...etc.)
- 5 time three "beeps" – Mode 3 (beep,beep,beep...beep,beep,beep...etc.)
- 5 time four "beeps" – Mode 4 (beep,beep,beep,beep...beep,beep,beep,beep...etc.)
- Set the Timing Mode by moving the
throttle stick to position "close", while between the 1st and
5th "Beeps" of the desired Timing Mode.
- Confirmation of New timing mode,
single "beep" (brake on); double "beep" (brake off)
- The Timing
Mode is now memorized , that means it will not change after disconnecting the
motor battery pack.
- If you want to change the Timing Mode
again, disconnect the motor battery pack. Repeat the
procedure.
Setting the Switching Frequency of the Controller
It is possible to change the switching
frequency on this generation of speed controllers. (Note: the
MAS06-3P, MAS18-3P and the MAS30-3P cannot be changed)
All controllers are supplied with 8
kHz Switching Frequency (Optimized for Hacker Brushless
Motors). If you are using a different brand of motor, set the right
frequency for optimal efficiency for your type of
brushless motor.
- Frequency Mode 1 – (8 kHz) optimum for
Hacker Brushless Motors.
- Frequency Mode 2 – (16 kHz) for Aveox,
Astro, Plettenberg, Phaser, Mega motors.
- Frequency Mode 3 – (32 Khz) for Köhler
,Actro
How to change the Frequency Mode:
- Switch "On" the transmitter and move
the stick to "full throttle"
- Connect the main power pack and turn
on the receiver switch (if used)
- Wait 5 seconds, you will hear 1 or 2
"beeps" (Brake Mode)
- Wait next 5 seconds you will hear the
Timing beeps, Wait ….after Mode 4 Timing
?? you will hear a:
- 5 time "Long tone" - Frequency 1(
tone...tone...tone...tone...tone)
- 5 time "tone + beep" - Frequency 2(
tone, beep...tone,beep...tone,beep...etc.)
- 5 time two "beeps" – Frequency 3 (beep,beep...beep,beep...beep,beep...etc.)
- Set the Frequency Mode by moving the
throttle stick to position "close", while between the 1st and
5th "Tones" of the desired Frequency Mode.
- Confirmation of New Frequency mode,
single "beep" (brake on); double "beep" (brake off)
- The Frequency Mode is now memorized ,
that means it will not change after disconnecting the
motor battery pack.
- If you want to change the Frequency
Mode again, disconnect the motor battery pack. Repeat
the procedure.
Setting the Current Limit (Hacker Car controller only!)
- Switch on transmitter
- Connect motor battery and hold trigger at "full
brake"
- Switch on speed control and wait 5 seconds
- you will hear 4 tones, wait another 5 seconds
- you will hear 5 time single "tone"-30 amp
current limit (tone...tone...tone....tone...tone)
- 5 time 2 "tones"-45 amp Current limit (tone,tone...tone,tone...etc)
- 5 times 3 "tone"-60 amp current limit (tone,tone,tone...tone,tone,tone...etc.)
- 5 time 4 "tones"-No current limit (tone,tone,tone,tone...tone,tone,tone,tone...etc)
- Set the current limit by releasing the brake to
neutral, while between the 1st and 5th "Tones" of the desired current limit
- Following the release of the brake, you will hear
final "single beep" or "double beep" depending on forward/brake or
forward/brake/reverse setting.
- The Current Limit is now memorized, that means
it will not change after disconnecting the motor battery pack.
- If you want to change the current limit again,
disconnect the motor battery pack. Repeat the procedure.
Setting Forward/Brake or Forward/Brake/Reverse mode
(Hacker Car controller only!):
- The speed control is supplied in Forward/Brake mode. If
you wish to change to Forward/Brake/Reverse mode, use the following procedure.
- Switch on the transmitter
- Connect the battery
- Hold throttle at 100%
- Switch on speed control and receiver
- Wait 5 seconds and you will hear a sequence of 4 tones
- Immediately move the throttle into neutral position and
you will hear 2 tones
- Forward/Brake/Reverse mode is now activated
- This mode is stored in the speed control and is not
changed when by disconnecting the battery
- When reconnecting the battery and switching on speed
controller, you will hear 1 confirmation beep for Forward/Brake mode and 2
beeps for Forward/Brake/Reverse mode.
- To switch between modes repeat above procedure again.
Notes about Operation and Warranty:
Reversing the motor directions is
achieved by the exchanging the position of any two wires
connected to the motor.
Do Not exceed the 10 cells or 4-5
servos when using the BEC.
The speed controller will turn-off the
motor when the main power pack voltage falls under 5,3
V or reaches 0,7 V/cell. It depends on which occurs first.
Temperature overload protection is built
into the speed controller, it turns off the motor when the
temperature reaches 230º F /110º C.
These speed controllers are equipped with
protection functions that take care of correct start and
operation of the motor across the whole range of RPM, Current and
Voltage.
Do Not connect the speed controller to
just ‘any’ kind of power source. Take care to ensure
the right polarity of NiCd or Ni MH power packs only.
Do not connect the motor battery to
the wrong polarity, the speed controller will be severely
damaged.
Controllers connected to the wrong
battery polarity, WILL NOT be covered under the
warranty
