Thank you for purchasing an MC601C . The MC601C is a high-frequency drive FET speed control developed for model
electric cars. It is compact and light weight competition speed control, and uses a simple digital setting system.
Applicable motors .UMBER
Use the MC601C with a motor with 9 turns or more.
*If a motor with a number of turns smaller than the
above is used, the heat protector and overcurrent
protection circuit may operate. The number of turns of
the motor is a criteria only. Depending on the running
conditions, the protection circuit may operate even if
the condition above is satisfied.
*The internal circuit of MC601C is OK up to 9-turn
motors. On the other hand, the connectors for battery
and motor are general type that is often found at the
dealers. Therefore, to use high output power motor or
apply heavy load may result in overheating of the
connector section and melting the connection. If this
happen the connection will stick together. Please pay
special attention to avoid this matter.
Power supply
Nicd, NiMH battery 4~7 cells
(4.8~8.4V)
FEATURES
• SMD MOSFETs with smallest internal resistance for
minimal losses and maximum power
• PWM frequency is Performed by load adaptive
• Heat protector
• Low-voltage protection function
• Fuse 40A (Buttery reverse plotection / Overload plotection)
• Power left on alarm function
• Serial communication function
INSTALLATION TIPS
s
lectronic components.
s
Important:
s%NSURE that there is an adequate distance (approx. 3 cm) between the speed control and power cables and the receiver or receiver antenna. Avoid
direct contact between all power system components and the receiver or antenna, as this can cause interference. If you encounter interference
problems, re-position the components in the model.
s4HE antenna should be run vertically up and away from the receiver. Avoid contact with any parts made of carbon fibre or metal. See also the
instructions supplied with your radio control system.
