slim, the microprocessor controlled micro/mini-speed controller series with ips and 5V battery elimination circuit (bec)

Abbreviations:

qpi: quick plug in system:
Those controllers feature an integeral motor connector (pp35), and the receiver cable including the On/Off switch (accessory) can also be disconnected from the unit. This is very useful when moving the unit from one model to another, and it also means that all the "cable spaghetti" can be left in the model if the controller ever needs repair.

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.

Special:

Only the helicopter-slim (slim-50He) 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. The brake is disabled.

The stick travel of the car/booat version (slim-10Ce(k), -26Cek and slim-45Ce) is fixed, but the neutral point must be learned. In dependance of the neutral point position it works with proportional brake mode or with full stick travel and no brake mode.

slim-10Ce(k) is for 24th scale cars, slim-26Cek is for 18th scale cars, slim-45Ce is for 10th scale with motors down to 12 turns.

Pay attention when connecting micro-servos: the current consumption is mostly 2...3 times higher than the current of the Graupner C341 servo!

The BEC System can be overload by temperature when using more than 8 cells and more than 3 servos!

Pay attention to the max. allowable power dissipation [in watts] of the BEC system!
