motors, such as trucks.

With the various setting options the speed controller can be easily adjusted to all

model requirements and driving behaviours. All settings can be adjusted with DIP

switches and the software "Drive-Teacher".

The speed controller is equipped with 8 switching outputs to connect LEDs and other

lights directly. In addition the speed controller has an extra output for connecting the

infrared diode from the light module SM-IR-16-2.

Safety notes

•Please read this operating manual carefully and keep it for future use!

•The integrated circuits on the speed controller are sensitive to electrostatic

charge. Therefore it is important that you don’t touch these components,

before discharging yourself (e.g. through a grip onto a grounded device).

•Under certain circumstances unfavourable placement and wiring of the speed

controller in the model may lead to restriction of transmitter range (mainly with

35/40 MHz transmitter).

•The speed controller should only be used with supply voltages that are given

in the technical data.

•Always switch off power before connecting the speed controller!

•The speed controller is not suitable for children under 14 years.

Installation of speed controller

For a safe installation of the speed controller, we recommend to use Velcro tape on

the UFR-1230 cover.

Pay attention not to connect components and conductor tracks with any metal parts!

This may cause a short circuit, which destroys the speed controller!

Connection of speed controller

Always switch off power before connecting the module!

Connection of supply voltage (battery):

The speed controller is suitable for 6 – 18 V DC. In order to connect the power

supply the red cable is connected to the positive pole of the battery and the black

cable to the negative pole of the battery.

For an easy connection, the speed controller is delivered with a Dean T female

connector.

Pay attention to a correct connection of the supply voltage poles! A wrong

connection destroys the speed controller immediately!!!

Connection of motor:

The yellow cable is used to connect the positive pole of a motor. The blue cabel is

connected to the negative pole of the motor.

In case the driving direction is wrong (forwards and backwards are opposite), you

can change the connection cables of the motor or you can invert the driving direction

in your Sound-Teacher, see page 29.

Connection of receiver (X1, X2 and X3):

3 servo cables (X1 - X3) are soldered to the speed controller UFR-1230, for

connecting the speed controller to the receiver.

Steering channel (optional for indicator lights, bending lights and

Control channel (optional to control light functions)

GB Speed Controller UFR-1230

28.08.2018 BEIER-Electronic 9

Throttle channel X1 must be connected to the receiver in order to control the pace of

the speed contoller.

Steering channel X2 needs to be connected in case one of the folllowing functions

should be used:

•Activation of indicator lights by steering

•Automatic flashing of indicator lights while steering

•Steering inertia and steering angle limitation

•Transmission of steering signals to light module SM-IR-16-2 via infrared

Control channel X3 needs to be connected in order to trigger light functions at the

speed controller, such as parking light, low/high beam and fog lights or in case the

brake function (DIP switch 3) is activated (to change the driving direction).

The speed controller has its own BEC supply voltage (only with X1) an additional

receiver battery is not required.

In case the BEC voltage of the UFR-1230 should not be used, the red cable from

servo cable X1 and the red servo cable from X4/1 (sound module connection) must

be disconnected.

Connection of sound module (X4/1)

The UFR-1230 has a special output for connecting a sound module (for example the

USM-RC-2). This output X4/1 (lower pins) is connected with a servo patch cable

directly to the throttle channel of the sound module (at the USM-RC-2 it is prop#1,

X2/1). See page 12 for additional information.

Connection of steering servo (X4/2)

To use the steering inertia and the steering angle limitation of the UFR-1230, the

steering servo must be connected to pin X4/2 (upper pins). The steering inertia

needs to be activated with the software Drive-Teacher. With the data cable K-USB-2

the changed configurations can be transferred to the speed controller UFR-1230.

Without using the steering inertia and steering angle limitation the steering servo can

be connected directly to the receiver.

Connection of switching outputs (X5):

To connect the switching outputs we recommend to use the supplied flat ribbon

cable or the terminal clamps AKL-10/AKL-10-W. Other cables and clamps with a size

0,14mm² – 0,5mm² can be used as well.

The speed controller switches always the negative pole to the connected load.

The positive pole is therefore always connected to the load, see page 7 (wiring

diagram).

The joint positive pole for all outputs is at X5 on pin 9 and 10. It is also possible to

connect the load directly to the positive pole of the battery.

When connecting the flat ribbon cable the black cable points up to the edge of the

board.

The switched voltage of the outputs (with 100 % brightness) is always as high as the

supply voltage of the speed controller.

LEDs always require series resistors! Pay attention to the correct polarity. The

resistor values depend on the LED colour and the LED current.

The values below are for standard LEDs with a current of 15 mA.

Supply voltage

270 Ohm

470 Ohm

9,6 V

510 Ohm

12 V

680 Ohm

14 V

820 Ohm

16 V

1 kOhm

For an exact calculation you can use a resitor calculator, like

www.leds.de/widerstandsrechner.

If more LEDs should be connected to one output (indicator front and back) it is better

to use for each LED its own resitor. A series connection should be avoided.

General remarks for wiring:

Always use cables with a core diameter of at least 2,5 mm² for connecting the power

supply and the motor. For all other connections, such as lights you can use smaller

cables such as 0.25 mm².
