personal injury, property damage or consequential damages resulting from our product or our
workmanship. As far as is legally permitted, the obligation for compensation is limited to the invoice
amount of the product in question.

Features:

 Enhanced throttle response, excellent acceleration, strong brakes and throttle linearity.
 Using advanced software interface to set up or update the software or using the optional

programming card to make adjustments.

 Using PC or optional programming card to program forward or reverse throttle limit.
 Using PC or optional programming card to program braking percentage.
 Multiple protection features: Low voltage cut-off protection, over-heat protection, throttle signal

loss protection and motor blocked protection.

 Compatible with most sensored brushless motors including; Speed Passion, Nosram, Thunder Power,

GM, Novak, LRP & Orion.

 Zero Timing „Blinky‟ Mode.

Begin to Use The PACE-45R :

Before using the PACE-45R please carefully check all connections are correct.

* Connected with Sensored Brushless motor

When using a Sensored Brushless motor, the Blue motor wire A, Yellow motor wire B and Orange motor
wire C of the PACE-45R must be connected with the motor A,B,C respectively. It is necessary to connect
the Sensor wire to the “Sensor” socket on the PACE-45R. Don‟t change the wires when running in
sensored mode.

* Connected with Sensorless Brushless motor

When using a Sensorless Brushless motor, the Blue motor wire A, Yellow motor wire B and Orange motor
wire C of the PACE-45R can be connected with the motor wires freely. If the motor runs in the opposite
direction, please swap Blue motor wire A and Orange motor wire C.

* Connect the PACE-45R signal wire to the Receiver

Conversion of Sensored and Sensorless function

* When the Power wires on the PACE-45R are connected with the battery pack, the PACE-45R can
automatically identify the motor type (Sensored/Sensorless) via indicated LEDs.

*If the PACE-45R works with the status of Sensored, if the Sensor wire is removed, the PACE-45R will
be automatically changed to the status of Sensorless.

Throttle Range Calibration (For the first time using transmitter or changing the transmitter
you must set Throttle Range Calibration)

1. Switch off the PACE-45R, then connect the PACE-45R with the battery and turn on the transmitter;
set the direction of the throttle channel to REV; set the EPA/ATV value of the throttle channel to 100%.

2. Hold the “Set” button and switch on the PACE-45R, wait for about 4 seconds until the Orange LED is
on solid, then release the “Set” button, apply full throttle until Red LED is on Solid and the motor beeps.

3. Apply Full Brake until the Orange LED blinks and will be on solid, the motor beeps.

4. Now return to Neutral, both of the Red LED and Orange LED blink simultaneously and will become
solid, the motor beeps, both of Red LED and Orange LED flash. The Throttle Range Calibration is
confirmed.

5. Turn off the PACE-45R.

6. Turn the PACE-45R back ON. The speed controller is now ready to use.
