INNOVATION & TECHNOLOGIE

The safety instructions do not only serve as a protection of the product, but also for your safety
and that of other persons. Therefore, please read this chapter carefully, before you use the product
for the first time!
General
Before starting remote control operation, you must inform yourself about the legal provisions, since
it is subject to the applicable laws. You must always observe the laws. In this respect, pay attention
to the laws applicable in the respective country.
A liability insurance is recommended and mandatory for all types of aircraft models. If you already
have one, please inform yourself if the operation of the respective model is covered by your insurance. If this is not the case, conclude a special liability insurance policy for models.
This product is not a toy. It is not suitable for children under 14 years of age.
If you have not yet sufficient knowledge about handling radio-controlled models, please contact an
experienced model enthusiast or a model-making club.
Due to safety and licensing reasons (CE), any unauthorized reconstruction and/or modification of
the product is prohibited.
The product must not become damp or wet. Never operate it in adverse weather conditions, such
as rain, storm, strong wind, etc.
Do not carelessly leave the packaging material lying around, since it might become a dangerous
toy for children.
If you have questions which cannot be answered by the operating manual, please contact us (contact information see page 32) or another expert in the field.
Operation and use of radio-controlled models needs to be learnt! If you have
never operated a model of this type before, start carefully and make yourself
familiar with the model‘s reactions to the remote control commands. Be patient!
Instructions and warnings
Technical defects of an electrical or mechanical nature may cause motors to start without warning, or may generate flying parts which can cause significant injury to you and others!
It is imperative to avoid short-circuits of any kind! Short-circuits can destroy parts of the remote
control system and cause serious burns or explosions depending on the circumstances and the
battery charge status.
All parts driven by the motor such as air and water propellers as well as helicopter rotors, exposed
gears, etc. always pose an injury hazard. Never touch these parts! A fast-rotating propeller can, for
example, cut off a finger!
Make sure that no other objects come into contact with driven parts!
Once the battery is connected or the motor is running, always maintain a safe distance from the
hazard area posed by the propulsion system!
Also while programming, make sure that a connected electric motor cannot accidentally start. Dis9

English

connect the drive battery beforehand.
Protect all equipment from dust, dirt, moisture and other foreign parts. All equipment must be protected from vibration as well as excessive heat or cold. The models may only be operated remotely
under „normal“ outside temperatures, i.e. from -10°C to +55°C.
Avoid any impact and pressure load. Always check the devices on damage to the housing and
cables. Devices that have become wet or damaged must not be used anymore, even if they have
dried out!
Only the components and accessories recommended by us are allowed to be used. Always use
matching, original Graupner plug-in connections of the same design and material.
When routing the cables, make sure that they are not under tension, excessively kinked, or broken. Sharp edges can also damage the insulation.
Make sure that all of the plug-in connections are tight. When disconnecting the plug-in connections, do not pull at the cables.
The devices must not be modified in any way. Modifications will void the type approval and any
insurance coverage. If necessary, send the relevant device to the responsible Graupner service;
see page 32.
Warnings
The CE certificate of the speed controller does not release from the obligation to exercise extreme caution.
If the motor does not start as desired, or in case of a crash, immediately set the transmitter stick in motor position off, in order to avoid an overload of the speed controller.
Check the correct connection of the motor again, perhaps shorten the cables and, if necessary, set
a time delay for the throttle response at the transmitter, in order to avoid timing errors.
Only use motors from GM-Racing or Graupner/SJ, which are designed for the used voltage range!
Only use high performance batteries from GM-Racing or Graupner/SJ. If the internal resistance of
the batteries is too high, the speed controller can be destroyed! Never use a power supply unit as
a power supply!
Never leave your RC model unattended, as long as the battery is connected. In case of a malfunction, this could cause fire at the model or in its surroundings.
The speed controller or other electronic components must never come into contact with water. Protect the speed controller from dust, dirt, moisture, vibration and other foreign parts.
Never run the motor with a separate battery. This destroys speed controller and motor and voids
the warranty.
Never reverse the polarity of your speed controller. Use polarity-safe plug-in systems. Avoid shortcircuits and blocking motors.
All cables and connections must be well insulated. Short-circuits can destroy your speed controller.
The speed controllers are only intended for use in radio-controlled models that are driven by batteries or rechargeable batteries. Any other use is not permitted. The use in a model for passenger
transport is prohibited!
Motors, gearboxes and propellers for boats and aircraft are dangerous objects. Therefore, never
get next to or in front of the danger zone of the driving mechanism!
Technical defects of mechanical or electrical parts can cause the motor to start inadvertently and
lead to flying parts, which can cause serious injuries.
First, always perform a range and function test on the ground (to do so, hold your model tight),
before you use your model. Repeat the test with running motor and with short throttle bursts.
No modifications whatsoever may be made to the speed controller, unless they are described in
the instructions.
Only the components and accessories recommended by us are allowed to be used. Always use
matching, original GRAUPNER/SJ plug-in connections and accessories.
Before each start-up and before you plug in the speed controller, make sure that: your transmitter

Connecting the speed controller BRUSHLESS CONTROL+T 60 - 160, HV
The speed controller provides stable voltage supply to the receiver with BEC continuous current
rating of 5A and peak power load of 15 A. In order to achieve the optimum power, the speed controller is equipped with two BEC connectors. The „master“ connection must be connected to the
throttle channel of the receiver. The „slave“ connection is the second BEC power supply and comes with a free channel of the receiver, use this best each of the outer terminals (Bat. port), or a
flybarless system, etc. connected. The „slave“ connection is also to be used for the update cable.
To update, you proceed as described in Chapter „firmware update“ before, but differing use the
„slave“ connection.

Connecting the speed controller BRUSHLESS CONTROL HV+T 60 - 160, Opto

English

The speed controller feature an optocoupler to the signal input side (gas passage). That means the
connected receiver requires a separate power supply because no BEC is present in the system, ie
the controller supplies no voltage to the receiver. (see illustration)

When selecting the receiver battery, note that you need to have adequate battery capacity for all
servos to provide sufficient power. Pay attention also to a corresponding cross -section of the battery
connection cable so under high load the voltage can not collapse. Especially when using a large
number of servos it is recommended to connect the power supply to the receiver via two entrances.
Here you have the two outer ports, which are marked on the receiver with a ‚B‘. If you connect a
separate battery pack to each battery terminal, make absolutely sure that the batteries have the
same rated voltage and capacity. Do not connect different types of batteries or batteries with highly
different charging states, because this may lead to short-circuit-like effects. Use in such cases, for
safety reasons, voltage stabilizers like the PRX-5A-receiver power supplies (No. 4136) between the
battery and receiver.

Installing in the model, first use

English

Mount the speed controller in the model so that it is isolated from vibration and shock and make sure
the heatsink is free for best cooling. Make sure that there is sufficient cooling of the motor and speed
controller by directing adequate cooling air from the outside airflow.
•
Turn the transmitter on and check the servo travel of the throttle channel which should be ±100%
or, with Multiplex R/C systems, ±80%. Robbe/Futaba systems need reversing (REVERSE) the
throttle arm travel! With Graupner/JR/SJ systems, the latter should be set to “NORMAL”.
WARNING: the BEC voltage of the speed controller is adjustable from 5 to 8 V. The factory
setting is 5.6 V and works for all receiver and servos. A voltage above 5.6 V may only be programmed when the receiver and all connected servos are suitable for this voltage, eg. high-voltage
servos! Risk of fire!
Capacitor for BEC (included)
Use the supplied capacitor to stabilize the BEC voltage by plugging it into an available channel of the
receiver. The capacitor bridges short voltage dips at peak times.
Warning: If you do not want to use the BEC supply from the controller and instead use a separate battery, you have to remove and
isolate the red wire (+) of the BEC plug as shown in the sketch. This will
prevent a backflow into the controller, which could destroy the controller. If you want to connect a battery to the BEC system, a diode (e.g.
Schottky diode 91505) needs to be soldered into the BECs red wire, so
that the current can only flow from the BEC to the receiver.

Switch the transmitter on (“ON”), then move the throttle stick to the “full-throttle” position and hold it there.
Connect the dry / rechargeable battery to the speed controller with correct polarity.
When all the leads are correctly inserted, the motor emits a brief beep to confirm that
the power supply is connected.
After about ten seconds you hear a brief melody (di-da-di), and both LEDs (red and
yellow) flash to indicate that the speed controller has detected the full-throttle position.
Move the throttle stick to the motor OFF position (back towards you) within four se

Settings - Programming
The BRUSHLESS CONTROL +T series of speed controllers can be programmed either directly
using the transmitter, or via the telemetry settings if you are using a Graupner/SJ HoTT RC system.

English

Settings in programming mode (without HoTT radio control system)
Start by programming the speed controller as described under “Calibrating the transmitter travels”,
working through as far as Point 4 or 5.
Move the stick to the full-throttle position again, and hold it there for at least six seconds: the speed
controller now beeps five times to indicate that it is in programming mode.
The mode (1 - 5) is indicated by the yellow LED, the parameters by the red LED. The LEDs flash
to indicate the settings, e.g. 2 x flashes of the yellow LED equates to mode 2 (direction of rotation),
1 x flash of the red LED equates to normal (direction of rotation).
To set the mode, move the throttle stick to the Stop / Reverse position (throttle stick right back),
then return it to the “full-throttle” position to switch to the next mode. The switch is confirmed by 2 x
beeps.
When you are in the desired mode, move the throttle stick to the Stop / Reverse position for two
seconds: you can now program the parameters.
The red and yellow LEDs flash simultaneously, according to the set parameter.
You can now program the parameter by alternating between “full-throttle” and Stop / Reverse; advancing the throttle increases the value by one.
When you reach the desired value, store the setting by holding the throttle stick at the full-throttle
position for at least two seconds. The speed controller beeps 3 x as an audible confirmation.
Repeat the procedure for all the remaining parameters which you wish to program, starting in each
case at Point 3.
When everything is programmed to your satisfaction, store the settings by disconnecting the power
supply from the speed controller.
Note: the settings in mode 3 vary according to the model type (mode 4). It is therefore essential to
program the model type first!

Settings in programming mode (with HoTT radio control system)
The method of operating the HoTT transmitter. For more information please read the section entitled
“Telemetry” in the operating instructions supplied with your radio control system. Programming is
carried out in the transmitter’s “Telemetry” menu under the menu point “SETUP / DISPLAYS”. The
sensor displays come next in sequence after the transmitter - receiver displays, i.e. the “ESC DATA
VIEW” display follows the last display of the RC system’s servo test (RX SERVO TEST). Please
note the following: the menus can only be selected if the receiver is switched on! When you switch
the receiver on, it may take a few seconds for the display to become active - i.e. before you can select it. There might be a slight delay in the screen’s response to inputs, as all settings are transferred
directly to the receiver / speed controller by wireless means.
Attention! Menu item „Motor“ in page 1 is only visible if the controller has a sensor port for
the engine!

To store the settings in the speed controller, use the INC (p) or DEC
(q) button to return to the “page 1 - ESC MODEL” screen display,
and select the “”E.S.C. save” menu point. Simultaneously pressing
the INC and DEC buttons (SET) highlights the parameter (black
background). Press the INC button (p) to move to YES, and then
store the selected setting by simultaneously pressing the INC and
DEC buttons (SET). An additional line “E.S.C. RESTART” now appears on the screen, and counts down starting at 3. The settings are
permanently stored when the count reaches 0; “E.S.C. RESTART”
disappears again to confirm this. If you do not wish to save the changes, select NO.

Gov speed: Governor Speed is a further development of the familiar Governor mode. In this case
the motor speed is stored according to the throttle stick position - but regardless of the battery in use
(cell-count, quality). This means that the controller regulates rotational speed according to the load
on the motor, regardless of the state of the battery, i.e. whether it is fully charged or almost flat, or
whether - for example - you are using a 4S or 5S battery.
• Governor mode must first be activated (Governor ON).
• Switch Governor Speed on (ON) - don’t forget to store the setting on page 1, otherwise the motor
will not run.
• Advance the throttle until the desired rotational speed is reached. We recommend a value of 70 80%, to ensure that there is a reserve available for the regulatory process. If the motor runs stably
at this speed, the yellow LED on the speed controller flashes briefly to indicate that the rotational
speed is now stored.
• To store the value permanently in the speed controller leave the throttle stick at the motor OFF
position for at least three seconds.

20

Note:
• If you intend to use different batteries, it is important to test-fly the Governor Speed using the
“smallest” battery; i.e. if you plan to use 4S and 5S batteries, the setting must be established
using the 4S battery.
• Gaslimitter must be fully open! Before programming, please perform a factory reset!
• Initial start-up and saving process of the speed must not be interrupted, otherwise incorrect speed
is stored. In this case a factory reset must be carried out again.

Setting the motor brake on surface, boat and vehicle models

English

A-Brake (Auto Brake)
In this setting, the braking effect is controlled automatically from 1 to the set value (max. 100 %),
when reaching the braking point on the throttle stick. 0 % means Auto Brake off.
Min and Max Brake settings have no effect.
Brake type settings are effective.
The activation of A-Brake is possible with both teach-in versions for the transmitter travel (see
page 13).
Min-Brake, Max-Brake (minimum braking effect, maximum braking effect)
In this setting, the initial and final braking effect when reaching the braking point on the throttle
stick is set (see graphic below)
Only effective if Auto Brake on 0 % and full throttle-neutral-brake teach-in version for the transmitter travel (see page 13) has been selected.
Brake type (brake response)
In this setting, the brake response is set.
Setting options in 4 increments: softest, soft, normal, hard.
This means:
softest = braking effect takes effect very slowly; hard = braking effect takes effect quickly (suddenly).

If you wish to carry out an adjustment, you must use the INC or DEC buttons (p or q) above the
screen to select the desired parameter (e.g. page 2) by moving the arrow cursor (INC or p moves
the cursor down, DEC oder q moves it up). Simultaneously pressing the INC and DEC (SET) buttons switches the parameter

Parameter

The following parameters can be set separately for all displays:
Warning Time: sets whether and how long the warning signal is activated when reaching a certain
value for each display screen - OFF deactivates the warning.
Repeat Time: sets how often the warning signal is activated when reaching a certain value for each
display screen.
Signal Tone: sets the signal tone melody. The warning sounds are combined with the warnings on
the display and the voice output. Therefore, they may not be changed.
When a warning is activated, the corresponding message (e.g. VOLTAGE) is shown inverted in the first row of the associated display and the signal tone respectively voice output
sounds.
If you wish to carry out an adjustment (page 2 to 6) you must use the INC (p) or DEC (q) buttons
above the screen to select „page 1 - ESC WARNING“ and choose „E.S.C save“. Simultaneously
pressing the INC and DEC buttons (SET) switches the parameter to be adjusted to inverse video
(white on black); this indicates that it can be programmed: pressing the INC (p) button at this point
increases the value to YES. When the adjustment is complete, save the selected setting by pressing
the INC and DEC buttons (SET) simultaneously; the dark background now disappears in order to
confirm this action. If you do not want to save the adjustments, select NO.
WARNING: Do not carry out any programming work on the sensors while the model is flying,
otherwise there is a real risk that your model will fl y out of control while you are not concentrating on it!
If your model is fi tted with two or more receivers, it is absolutely essential that you do not carry out
programming work during a fl ight, as this can alter the settings in the receivers to which no telemetry
equipment is connected; in the worst case this could result in the model crashing.
For this reason always carry out programming on the ground, and check that only the receiver with
connected sensors is powered on.

CONNECTING THE SPEED CONTROLLER PRIOR TO UPDATING
Accessories required:
• (1) USB interface for Graupner/GM-GENIUS,
7166.6
• (2) Adapter cable
S8363
• (3) Connection cable
33700.1
For both types of speed controller connect the adapter cable (2) to the USB interface (1). For the
HV and Opto speed controllers the connection cable (3) has to be connected to the socket.
The power supply during the update must be provided through the connection of a battery.
UPDATING THE SPEED CONTROLLER
The user can exploit the update facility to maintain the BRUSHLESS CONTROL +T series speed
controller constantly at the latest state of development, and to add expanded functions in future.
The program required - “Firmware Upgrade gr_studio” - and the update files can be found in the
Download area for the appropriate product at our website www.graupner.de, where they can be
downloaded at no charge.There you will also find comprehensive instructions for connecting the
BRUSHLESS CONTROL +T prior to updating, and the exact update procedure.
In the application call up the Speed controller
point in the list on the left-hand side. A dialogue
box now opens, offering the following choices:
“Load automatically” and “Open file”.
If you wish to load the current firmware into the
controller, select Load automatically. The application then attempts to download the current firmware via the Internet. Immediately after clicking
on the button the bar starts to fill green from the
left. Connect the speed controller power supply before the bar is completely filled: a further
dialogue box now opens, in which you should
click on the desired firmware, followed by the
“Open file” button. The application now downloads the file, and loads it into the speed controller. If
you wish the controller to be loaded with special firmware to which you have access as a file, use
“Open file”. Select the appropriate file in the dialogue box which now opens: the bar starts to fill
green. Connect the speed controller power supply before the bar is full, and the application then
transfers the firmware.

Kirchheim/Teck, Germany, acknowledge the obligation to correct those defects within the limitations
described below.
The consumer is not entitled to exploit this manufacturer’s declaration if the failure in the usability of
the product is due to natural wear, use under competition conditions, incompetent or improper use
(including incorrect installation) or external influences.
This manufacturer’s declaration does not affect the consumer’s legal or contractual rights regarding
defects arising from the purchase contract between the consumer and the vendor (dealer).
