Ultra 40
Brushless Speed Controller

Connection:
1. Use Rosin-core lead solder to solder female bullet connectors to the three black wires on the
speed controller. (The motor will use male bullet connectors)
2. Solder or crimp your battery connector to the red (+) and black (-) wires. Insure that you maintain
the correct polarity or you will burn out the controller when you connect the battery.
3. Connect the receiver lead to the throttle channel on your receiver. Be sure to maintain correct
polarity.
4. Connect the three black wires in any order to the brushless motor. You will need to test run the
motor to insure it is operating in the correct direction. If you find that the motor is running in
reverse, all you need to do is switch around any two black wires.
5. Secure the speed controller to the aircraft. Make sure you have airflow over the controller so that it
can cool properly. If you dont have enough airflow and find the controller gets very warm, you will
need to use a larger controller to handle the heat.
Operation:
1. Follow the directions on the reverse to program your speed controller.
2. Insure your throttle is back all the way. (the controller will not operate unless the throttle is in the
off position)
3. Connect the battery to the speed controller observing the correct polarity.
4. The controller will sound a tone to let you know that it is armed. Do not move the throttle until you
hear the tone.
5. Once the tone has sounded, slowly advance the throttle and insure the motor is operating correctly. You are now ready to fly!
Do not leave the controller armed unless you are on the runway and everyone is clear of the prop.
If you are having trouble getting the speed controller to function correctly, make sure your throttle
channel is set to 100% and the trim is lowered all the way. Also check to see if the throttle channel is
set for normal (not reverse) operation. You may also want to try a different model number if you have
a computer radio.

Programming your Ultra 40 Brushless Speed Controller:


1. Connect your speed controller to the motor and receiver.
2. Turn on your transmitter and move the throttle to the full position
3. Connect your battery and your will hear a starting beep tone. After 3 seconds, the controller will start beeping in sequence
indicated on the chart below. Each sequence of beeps will repeat one time.
4. Wait until you hear the required series of beeps as shown in our chart, then move the throttle stick to the off position. At that
time, you will hear the sequence of beeps repeat one time then a confirmation tone will sound. This will let you know the option
has been programmed.
5. The controller will automatically exit the program. To set another option, repeat step 2 through 4.
