SING THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME
First switch the transmitter on, then connect the drive battery to
the speed controller. Move the controller switch to the ON posi-
tion: the controller initialises itself, and after a delay of two sec-
onds you will hear one beep for each LiPo cell. The motor is then
ready for running.
! Note:
Start-up protection
MULTIcont BL-20 BEC speed controllers are only armed when
the throttle stick is moved to the motor OFF position, and when
the audible "ready" indication has been emitted.
Always carry out a range check
Every time you wish to fly, carry out a range check with the RC
system switched on. Check in particular that radio range is not
diminished at full-throttle and half-throttle, and that no
interference occurs. Watch the servos in the model: if they jitter
or carry out random movements, this indicates an interference
problem which must be solved.

ATTERY
MULTIcont BL controllers are equipped with a high-performance
BEC system: current is supplied to the receiver and servos from
the flight battery via the controller. A separate receiver battery is
not required.
Do not connect a separate receiver battery!
Please note that the BEC system of MULTIcont BL controllers
can only supply a limited current for the airborne receiving
system. The maximum current which the BEC circuit can deliver
varies according to the operating voltage (battery voltage). The
higher the voltage, the lower the maximum BEC current:
max. P = (U – U

U = 5.0 V
BEC
The actual current drawn by a servo varies according to its
performance, the frequency of commands and – in particular –
the freedom of movement of the control surface linkages(!). This
means that it is essential to measure the current drain of the
servos in the model at regular intervals thereafter.
If you have no means of measuring the BEC current: carry out a
test-run: operate the servos in a "normal" way (similar to flying
the model) until the low-voltage cut-off is triggered (i.e. battery
flat). At this point the speed controller should be no more than
warm to the touch, and the servos must work properly all the
time, without ever threatening to fail or move erratically.
! Note: disabling the BEC system
The BEC system must be disabled, and a separate receiver
battery must be used instead, if:
•
the model carries more servos, or servos with a higher
current drain, than is permissible for the selected battery cell
count ( 2.), or
•
problems are evident during the test-run, or
•
the model is powered by a NiXX flight battery with more than
nine cells
Disabling the BEC system: locate the UNI connector attached to
the three-core lead. Use a pointed instrument to raise the plastic
lug of the red wire (+), and withdraw the red wire from the plastic
housing. Insulate the bare metal parts with a heat-shrink sleeve.

OW VOLTAGE CUT
TION
If the battery voltage falls below the low voltage threshold, the
controller automatically reduces motor speed. This ensures that
sufficient energy remains for the BEC power supply, so that you
can return the model safely to base. Declining motor speed is a
further indication that the drive battery is almost flat. If you notice
this, turn the model back towards base immediately.
! Note: if you are using the latest generation of LiPo batteries,
the low voltage cut-off function will not work correctly due to the
cells' constantly high voltage curve; in this case the speed con-
troller is unable to cut the motor in good time. In these circum-
stances you should drive using a current sensor or a timer, to
avoid discharging the drive battery to a dangerous level.

Electrical equipment marked with the cancelled waste
bin symbol must not be discarded in the standard
household waste; instead it must be taken to a suitable
specialist disposal or recycling system.
In the countries of the EU (European Union), electrical
equipment must not be discarded via the normal domestic refuse
system (WEEE - Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment,
Directive 2002/96/EG). You can take un-wanted equipment to
your nearest local authority waste collection point or recycling
centre, where the staff will dis-pose of it correctly and at no cost
to yourself.
By returning your unwanted equipment you can make an
