If vibrations while running cause the connectors to work loose, control may be lost and an extremely dangerous situation may occur. Thank you for buying an MC230CR. The MC230CR is a high-frequency drive FET amp with reverse function developed for model electric cars. It is compact and light weight, and uses a simple digital setting system. Never reverse the Nicd battery polarity. Reverse connection will immediately destroy the amp. FEATURES ·High-frequency drive system ·Forward, reverse, and brake operations are all linear ·Reverse operation cancellation function ·One-touch input of neutral, high, and brake MAX points by pushbutton switch ·Overcurrent protection function ·Heat protector ·Low-voltage protection function ·Power left on alarm function ·Abnormal input signal cancellation function ·Checker function (LED display, audible beep) Applicable motors (Number of turns is criteria. ) Use the MC230CR with a motor with 20T or more turns. *If a motor with a number of turns smaller than the above is used, the heat protector and overcurrent protection circuit may operate. The number of turns of the motor is a criteria only. Depending on the running conditions, the protection circuit may operate even if the condition above is satisfied. OPERATING PRECAUTIONS Do not run the vehicle in the rain or through puddles or on muddy or snowy roads. If moisture enters the amp, erroneous operation may cause loss of control and an extremely dangerous situation may occur. Should moisture enter and cause erroneous operation, send the MC230CR out for repair and inspection. Power supply Nicd battery 6~7 cells (7. 2~8. 4V) If a peddle or other foreign object gets caught in the gears or the vehicle hits an obstruction, do not try to forcefully run vehicle. Forcefully running the vehicle will cause trouble. CONNECTION (Orange) (Blue) Motor connector Connects to the motor. If the motor rotates in the wrong direction, interchange the connections of this connector. Do not touch the motor or amp immediately after running. Touching the motor or amp immediately after running may result in serious burns. Checker LED Pushbutton switch (Black) Always turn the power switches on and off in the following order: ON: Transmitter -> receiver (amp switch) OFF: Receiver (amp switch) -> transmitter If the power switches are operated in the opposite order, the vehicle may run unexpectedly and an extremely dangerous situation may occur. Nicd battery connector Connects to the running Nicd battery. (Black) is minus. When making adjustments, remove the motor, or place the model on a stand, so that it cannot run. (Red) Miniature screwdriver When going to and returning from the circuit, and when storing the model, always remove the Nicd battery. If the switch is turned on erroneously, control may be lost or a fire may start. MC230CR Power switch [MC230CR Technical Data] Accessory. When the Nicd battery voltage drops, this function limits the motor output current and ensures steering operation. After the speed drops, immediately recover the vehicle. Before setting each point, set the transmitter throttle channel trim to neutral. 1 2 Turn on the power in transmitter -> amp order. Transmitter throttle operation (Pushbutton switch operation) MC230CR CHECKER LED DISPLAY (Checker LED) Relationship between amp operation and checker LED display The amp operates linearly in proportion to the amount of forward, reverse, and brake operation. The amp operating state can be checked with the checker LED as shown below. Neutral point setting N ·Continuous single blink ·Neutral state ·Press the pushbutton switch. (0. 5 secs or longer) (Confirmation beep sounds) Operation Checker LED display (Reverse operation set) Single blink (Single confirmation beep) 3 High point setting Full High N ·Continuous double blink ·Full high state ·Press the pushbutton switch. (Confirmation beep sounds) Amp power ON (Only brake operation set) Double blink (Two confirmation beeps) 4 Brake MAX point setting N ·Full brake state Full brake ·Press the pushbutton switch. (Confirmation beep sounds. ) If the LED does not go off but blinks rapidly, setting was not performed normally. Repeat setting from "Neutral point setting". ·If the LED goes out, setting is complete. High point Forward Neutral point Reverse /brake Brake MAX point Off On *Becomes brighter nearer the high point. * Since the data is read at the end of setting of all points, the points cannot be set independently. [. . . ] Repeat setting from "Neutral point setting". ·If the LED goes out, setting is complete. High point Forward Neutral point Reverse /brake Brake MAX point Off On *Becomes brighter nearer the high point. * Since the data is read at the end of setting of all points, the points cannot be set independently. * If the amp power was turned off during setting, the setting points cannot be memorized.
