Details
This is a Simple to use, MOSFET Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Controller with Adjustable Sensitivity and Brake. The brake circuit also features a unique Coast Mode Function to provide progressive braking for HO Cars or High Magnetic Downforce cars where the car stops aggressively even when there is no braking applied.
This PWM Controller is aimed at the Serious Club Racer, and is quick and simple to setup to suit the Car and Track Conditions.
A221438 Commercial Track Quick Connect Socket installed free when ordered with Controller

Brake control
(Turn Clockwise to increase Braking)
(Turn Clockwise to increase Braking)
In NORMAL and Coast MODE a single rotary control sets the braking strength from full brakes to a gentle braking action.
If this control is turned all the way anti-clockwise for min. brakes, but a high magnet-force HO car, or car that slows very fast even with no brakes, still stops too quickly, then the Coast mode can be selected. (Details in the next section)
The Coast and NORM select switch is located on the rear fascia under the LAUNCH button. (The switch is recessed so that it can’t be accidentally switched during a race)
Acceleration and Coast Brake control
(Turn Clockwise to increase acceleration in NORMAL MODE and to increase simulated Brakes in Coast MODE)
(Turn Clockwise to increase acceleration in NORMAL MODE and to increase simulated Brakes in Coast MODE)
In NORMAL MODE this control sets the rate of acceleration. The idea is that even though the trigger may have been snatched quickly to full throttle, the controller will only feed power to the car at the rate set by the ACC control. This way you can prevent wasted time during wheel spinning and loss of traction as you exit a corner, or the guide lifting out of the slot with powerful motors.
In Coast MODE this control becomes a Brake Simulation adjustment suitable for those high magnet down-force cars, or cars with very high natural braking effect, that stop almost immediately even with no brakes applied. The idea is that though the trigger has been released, the power only comes off at a rate set by this control. Once the controller is no longer feeding power the normal brakes will be applied at the rate you have set under BRAKE CONTROL as above. (For these cars this BRAKE will usually be set to minimum)
Sensitivity control
(Turn Clockwise to increase Sensitivity)
(Turn Clockwise to increase Sensitivity)
This adjusts the trigger wiper sensitivity to enable you to set the controller feel for any car or track condition. For those used to resistor controllers, it will feel as if the Ohms are adjustable from about 15 up to 70. There is a built-in CURVE control circuit (similar to the PWM controller) which works automatically together with the sensitivity adjustment to give quick and easy settings. As the Sensitivity is turned up, so the initial start speed also rises slightly to match.
The little preset adjustment on the right hand side of the wiper element provides an adjustment for the range of the sensitivity control by changing the initial start speed just as the trigger is squeezed. If the THROW ADJUSTMENT option has been fitted, then, when the trigger is released for braking, it only goes back as far as your throw adjustment has been set, so the start speed can be made quite high with a combination of these controls.
Optional LAUNCH Switch - Please Advise if Required
While pressed IN, this switch cuts the feed to the car and motor, even if the trigger is pulled. Once released the power feeds in at whatever point the trigger has been pulled to, but at the rate set by the ACCELERATION control. The idea is that your trigger is already pulled in on the start line so that all you need to do is release the switch to give you a quicker start from the line.
Trigger Return Spring Tension and Optional Throw Adjustments
Trigger Spring Tension
Under the Trigger is the adjustment Screw. It operates against a cam arm that pulls the return spring. Turn clockwise to increase tension and anti-clockwise to reduce it. (you can see it work through the clear handle)
Throw Adjust
Through the access hole in the rear fascia is the throw adjustment screw. This sets the position that the trigger returns to when released for braking. Turn clockwise to move the stop point further in. (you will see the trigger move as you screw it in and out) The adjustment sets the amount of travel for the trigger by moving the position of the Brake contact. The further in you set it, the higher the start-up speed of the car, because, as the brake releases, the trigger is already some way across the element.
Power LED
LED Power Indicator. (BLUE for POSITIVE WIRED Track and RED for NEGATIVE WIRED Track.)
The LED extinguishes when the relay energises and full power is delivered to the car
