PLATINUM-40A-V4

Brushless, sensorless "brushless" programmable microprocessor controller designed using state-of-the-art semiconductor technology with excellent user-friendly features and extensive programming and setup capabilities. It is used to control the speed of AC motors in larger and giant models of aircraft or helicopters when powered by NiCd / NiMH and Li-poly / Li-ion / Li-Fe accumulators. It is designed with high durability and durability as required in competitive and giant models. For helicopters, it offers an advanced governor with a number of adjustable constant speed control parameters. It is equipped with a high-performance, adjustable BEC power stabilizer with adjustable output voltage to power the receiver and servo from the battery. For easy adjustment of the controller, use the special Hobbywing multifunction LCD programming box or WiFi Express wi-fi module, which are supplied separately.

REGULATOR DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION

• Suitable for the vast majority of aviation AC motors powered by 3-4S LiPo accumulators.
• High-performance microprocessor with a clock frequency of up to 72 MHz for precise governor operation (constant speed maintenance) and super soft start.
• Special microprocessor power stabilizer for high interference immunity and reduced risk of loss of control.
• Optimized steering technology DEO (Driving Efficiency Optimization) significantly improves gas response and efficiency of power stage control, reducing controller temperature.
• New switching power stabilizer BEC with output voltage adjustable in the range of 5-8 V and 7 A per second / 18 A peak.
• BEC is separate from the other circuits of the controller, it can maintain correct operation even when the power board burns with the MOSFET regulator transistors. <" / Li>
• Extensive programming options with a wide range of adjustable functions and parameters.
• Flight modes: Airplane, Helicopter (Elf Governor), Helicopter (Store Governor)
• The new governor program with adjustable P / I governor parameters delivers great maintenance at constant speeds, ensuring stable rotor speed even under severe load variations.
• The flight data recorder records the speed, minimum voltage and maximum temperature during flight.
• The "autorotation restart" feature can manually interrupt autorotation and restart the engine quickly to prevent a crash caused by incorrect model control.
• Independent output port for tachometer signals.
• A special programming port for programming the controller or setting parameters of the Multifunction LCD Programming Box or Wi-Fi Express.
• Supports online data control, controller programming, PC or smartphone / tablet firmware update (requires Multi-Function LCD Programming Box or Wi-Fi Express).
• WiFi Wi-Fi Express (sold separately) for wireless controller programming using your smartphone (iOS or Android).
• Range of protection functions: start protection, thermal protection of the controller, thermal protection of capacitors, overload protection, loss of control signal, etc.

PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS

• Flight mode: Allows you to select programs for aircraft, helicopters (with linear throttle control), helicopters (with Elf governor) or helicopters (with the Store Governor).
• Number of LiPo cells: The controller offers automatic cell count detection or manual setting.
• How to disconnect the motor when the voltage protection is activated: The controller gradually reduces power to 50% of full power within 3 seconds after activation of the voltage protection when the "power limitation" mode is selected. If the "Hard Shutdown" mode is selected, the engine is immediately shut down" / Li>
• PCO - Voltage Protection: The threshold voltage level is adjustable within the range of 2.7-3.7V / cell.
• BEC voltage: BEC voltage stabilizer voltage is adjustable between 5.0-8.0 V in increments of 0.1V.
• Response Time: This function is used to adjust the gas response, the higher the value, the slower the gas response.
• Governor parameter P: Specifies the controller's ability to maintain stable speeds.
• Governor I parameter: Specifies the dynamic response of the controller.
• Auto Restart Time: In Elf / Store Governor mode, the controller turns off the engine if the gas is between 25 and 40%. If you add more than 40% of the gas during the preset auto restart time, the engine will run quickly and accelerate to the current gas speed during the set acceleration time. If you add more than 40% of gas after a preset auto reboot time, the controller switches to a soft start.
• Acceleration time of restart: Adjustable in the range of 1-3 s in steps of 0.5 s. This function determines the time that the engine will restart and accelerate to full speed in Elf / Store Governor.
• Brake: Sets the function of the propeller brake - off, normal, proportional, reversing (allows reverse engine operation via another channel with a switch).
• Brake Intensity: Adjustable between 0-100% in steps of 1% for Normal Brake Mode.
• Timing: Adjustable in the range of 0-30 ° in steps of 1 °.
• Direction of rotation of the motor: Clockwise / counterclockwise.
• DEO Freewheel: This feature can be turned on or off in Aircraft or Helicopter (Linear Gas) modes to achieve better linearity of gas response.
• Starting torque: This function is used to adjust the engine power that rotates during the startup process.

CONTROL PROTECTION FUNCTIONS

• Acceleration protection: The controller measures the engine speed during start-up." If the speed stops or the gain is not stable, the controller will evaluate it as an incorrect start. If the gas is less than 15% at this time, the regulator will automatically attempt to restart the engine; If the gas is more than 15%, you need to pull the gas switch down completely to re-start the engine.
• Thermal protection of the controller: If the temperature of the controller exceeds 110 ° C, the controller will progressively limit power but does not shut off the engine completely. To ensure that the engine retains some power and will not cause a crash, the maximum power limitation is about 50% of full power. As the temperature of the controller goes down, the controller will gradually restore maximum power. Additionally, when switching on, the temperature of the controller must not exceed 70 ° C, otherwise the motor can not be switched on.
• Thermal protection of capacitors: The controller activates this protection if the temperature of the filter capacitors exceeds 130 ° C. This protects the filter capacitors just as the controller's thermal protection protects itself.
• Loss of gas signal: The controller shuts down the engine if the signal is missing for 0.25 seconds to avoid even more damage and risks from a rotating rotor or propeller. Once a normal signal is received, the controller resumes normal operation.
• Overload protection: The controller shuts off the engine or automatically restarts when the load suddenly increases to a very high value. (Possible cause: blocking the propeller or rotor.)

Tip: At first switch on the controller first calibrate the gas range according to the instructions. It is then possible to use the controller and set other parameters using the Multifunction LCD Programming Box or Wi-Fi Express.
