AX1500 Motor Controller User’s Manual 13
Powering On the Controller
This wiring - with the wire loop uncut - assumes that the R/C radio will be powered by the
AX1500 controller. Other wiring options are described in “R/C Operation” on page 57 of
the User’s Manual.
Important Warning
Do not connect a battery to the radio when the wire loop is uncut. The RC battery
voltage will flow directly into the controller and cause permanent damage if its volt-
age is higher than 5.5V.
Connecting the optional channel 3 will enable you to turn on and off two accessory out-
puts. See “Connecting Sensors and Actuators to Input/Outputs” on page 41 and “Activat-
ing the Accessory Outputs” on page 67 of the User’s Manual.
Powering On the Controller
Important reminder: There is no On-Off switch on the controller. You must insert a switch
on the controller’s power terminal as described in section“Connecting to the Batteries and
Motors” on page 11.
To power the controller, center the joystick and trims on the R/C transmitter. Then turn on
the switch that you have placed on the Battery Power wire or on the Power Control input.
A Power LED located next to the 15-pin connector will lit to indicate that the controller is
ON.
