Switching on the ROXXY PROcontrol brushless controller
Programming joystick ranges
The throttle ranges must be programmed during initial start-up of
the ROXXY PROcontrol controller. This is also necessary when ex-
changing the transmitter. The throttle joystick range is automatically
recognized by the controller and the end points are stored during
programming.
This process only needs to be performed once. The emitted acous-
tic signals are generated by the motor. It is, therefore, essential that
all three phases are connected. The aforesaid safety information
also applies here: Secure the model, remove the propeller, if neces-
sary. ...
Proceed as follows to carry out this process:
1. Switch on the transmitter and move the throttle joystick to the 'full
throttle' position.
2. Connect the battery and wait roughly two seconds until you hear
two acoustic signals . Then immediately move the throttle
joystick to the stop position. You will then hear another acoustic
signal . The controller has now stored the throttle joystick range
of your transmitter and is ready for use.
The following sequence applies to a normal switch-on process:
1. Switch on the transmitter and move the throttle joystick to the off
position.
2. Connect the flight battery, two acoustic signals are output. The
first signal sequence indicates the number of LiPo cells in the
battery. The second signal confirms that the controller is ready
for operation.
3. If you now push the throttle joystick forward, the motor starts
running. The further the joystick is pushed forward, the faster
the motor runs. When the joystick is moved backward, the motor
runs slower until it eventually stops.
4. Built-in safety systems
- As soon as the internal temperature of the controller exceeds
110°C, the power is reduced to allow the controller to cool down.
- If the input signal is faulty or not present, the motor is switched off.
This procedure is triggered if a valid signal is not supplied by the
receiver for two seconds.
5. Programming the controller
Activating / Deactivating programming mode
Carry out the following steps when preparing the controller for pro-
gramming or reprogramming:
- Switch on the transmitter and move the throttle joystick to the 'full
throttle' position. When doing so, observe all the relevant safety
information.
- After approx. 2 seconds, a signal sequence of 4x two beeps in
quick succession can be heard ••...••...••...••
- You are now in programming mode. As long as the throttle joystick
is not moved to the neutral position, the programming sequence
continues point by point.
- To change the values for a programming point, move the throttle
joystick to the neutral position. You have now accessed the para-
meters under this programming point. This is indicated by a melo-
dy. The parameters are now run through point by point, as indica-
ted by the varying signal sequences. When the correct value has
been reached, confirm it with full throttle. This ensures it is saved
and the programming automatically moves to the next point.

- However, should you want to exit programming mode, simply dis-
connect the battery.
The ROXXY PROcontrol brushless controllers have a wealth of pro-
gramming options.The following parameters can be selected:
1. Adjusting the braking effect
The brake can be switched off or on in three stages. If the propeller
of an airplane model is to rotate freely when the motor is switched
off, the brake must be deactivated. For motorized glider models with
a flap propeller, it is recommended to switch on the braking effect.
The propeller folds back as soon as the throttle joystick is moved to
the minimum position and the motor is switched off. Depending on
the model and the drive, the braking effect can be preset in three
stages; for example, with a geared motor, the full effect should not
be preset in order to protect the gearbox.
The following adjustments are available:
- Brake off
- Soft braking effect
- Mid braking effect
- Hard braking effect
2. Selecting the battery type
The ROXXY PROcontrol brushless controllers can be configured for
all airplane model batteries. The following types can be adjusted:
- NiCd / NiMH
- LiPo
- LiFe
3. Undervoltage threshold
There are several undervoltage thresholds for each battery type.
This ensures cut-off can be adapted at all the applications.
With Li xx batteries, the number of cells is calculated automatically
by the controller, no input details are required other than specifica-
tion of the cell type. The four possible setting options include the
following values:
- Low (2.8 V per cell)
- Medium (3.0 V per cell)
- High (3.2 V per cell)
- Undervoltage protection deactivated
The following thresholds therefore apply to a 3S LiPo battery:
8.4 V (low), 9.0 V (medium) and 9.6 V (high).
- With Ni xx batteries, the cut-off thresholds correspond to the
following percentage values:
- Low (50% of the initial voltage)
- Medium (60% of the initial voltage)
- High (65% of the initial voltage)
Accordingly, for a fully charged six-cell NiMH battery with 8.64 V
initial voltage (1.44 V x 6) the following applies as cut-off voltage: At
default setting 'low', 4.32 V (8.64 V 50%) and at default setting 'high',
5.61 V (8.64 V x 65%).
