Select-A-Fire Adjustable controller setup
1. Power on the unit using the main battery for the plane. The ESC and the RX (receiver) need to be powered on using the same battery so a common ground is established with the afterburner controller.
2. For TrueFire units once the unit is powered on it will default to a value of flickering the main orange LED at 30% throttle. The main orange LED will come on solid (no flickering) at 50%. These are the default values.
3. For BlueFire units once the unit is powered on it will default to a value of flickering the Blue LEDs at 30% throttle. The main orange LED will come on solid (no flickering) at 50%. These are the default values.
4. In order to set the throttle position where you want to main orange LED to come on:
a. Secure the plane to make sure it will not move when throttle is applied. You will need to turn throttle cut OFF. You do not need to disconnect the ESC or the motor to setup the controller.
b. Raise the Throttle to the value where you want the main orange LED to come on.
c. Press and hold the SET button (silver circle) until both the orange and blue LEDs flash three times. The ON value is now set. The blue LED will start to flicker at a value 20% less than the recently set ON value. The min throttle ON value for the main LED is 10% and the max is 90%.
d. The last set ON value is the new default value. This value is saved in memory on the controller and does not need to be set each time the afterburner controller is powered on.
e. You can change the ON value as many times as you like. It will not harm the controller.
5. If you wish to turn OFF the flickering effect press the FLICK button (silver dash) until it locks in the down position. This is the OFF position. To turn flickering back on press the FLICK button again and it will extend out in the up position. This is the normal default ON position. The button is a maintained switch.
6. Select-A-Fire adjustable controller is backwards compatible. You can use it with an existing 5280 RC afterburner LED system.
