smart, the microprocessor controlled power speed controller series, mit ips, opto coupler and gate drive voltage tripler

common data:

Power-On-Reset, power saving switching frequency, 2 soft start timings (direct drive / belt gearbox use), brake / no brake use, over temperature monitoring, ips (see below).

The voltage tripler is buildt in for highest loads at low cell counts.
The active free running circuit is good for low controller temperatures and highest efficiency at half throttle use.

smart contains a low voltage protection which can be re-armed when setting the throttle stick to stop.

smart are protected against current and temperature overload.

All smarts are delivered with battery cables and motor sockets (pp35 system) and heat shrinking tubes.

ips: intelligent programmimg system:
No pots! The speed controller automatically configures itself to the stick travel when you switch your transmitter/receiver on.
The brake can also be disabled in the same way if required.
If you are using motors with belt reduction gear, you can activate gear mode in the same way.
During the configuration process the motor acts as a loudspeaker to give you audible confirmation of the procedure.

The ips reflects the initial set-up procedure used with our speed controllers until recently, i.e. the process of adjusting the braking point with the help of a trim pot. For any normal application with an EMF brake (for a folding propeller) the start-up procedure is entirely conventional: throttle stick to "motor stopped", switch first transmitter-, then receiver on, hold model in launch position, apply full throttle, launch.

The controller has to be adjusted to match the stick travel of your transmitter - a procedure we term "configuration" - and with these units the process is fully automatic. If you wish to use the controller in a model which does not require a propeller brake the procedure is slightly different.

The brake point and the full-throttle point must be configured in such a way that full stick travel is always available to operate the motor, as this provides the finest possible level of control.

A single beep always indicates that the controller is armed! When you next move the throttle stick, the motor will start running. If the slim beeps twice when the transmitter stick is at the brake position (double beep = full-throttle position), you must disconnect the controller and operate the servo reverse facility on your transmitter, otherwise the controller would arm itself (single beep) at the full-throttle setting of your transmitter and would run at full throttle with the stick at the "stopped" position - the exact opposite of what is required.

Only the helicopter-slim (smart-..Ho), uses fixed stick position for neutral and full throttle.
Please use travel adjust and 3- or 5-point throttle curve to match to your helicopter and motor.
Voltage compensation for nearly stable rpm at decreasing battery voltage.
The brake is disabled.

The stick travel of the car-/booat version (smart-..CWo) is fixed, but the neutral point must be learned.
In dependance of the neutral point position it works with half stick travel (pistol transmitter) proportional brake,
- or with full stick travel (normal throttle stick lever), no brake.
Water protected sealing.

we buildt in the life insurance!
