Fault Messages
The AX3500 uses the LED display to report fault conditions. When these messages are 
displayed, the motors are normally stopped.
No Control
This message is displayed in the R/C mode to indicate that no valid radio signal has been 
detected at its inputs or that radio signal has been lost. When the controller is configured 
in the mixed mode, signals on channel 1 and channel 2 must be present to enable the con-
troller. When the controller is configured in the separate mode, a signal received on either 
channel will enable the controller. When enabled, the controller will display the normal 
motor status described previously.
The “no control” message is displayed using the following sequence of digits.
