Carson Reflex Mikro-Fahrtregler 10A/BEC Instruction Manual
Comprehensive guide for the Carson Reflex Mikro-Fahrtregler 10A/BEC, covering installation, wiring, safety features, and troubleshooting for RC model speed controllers.
Table of contents
Product Description
The Reflex Mikro-Fahrtregler 10A/BEC is a compact and versatile speed controller designed for brushed motors up to 10 A. It provides smooth, sensitive control for both forward and reverse travel. The unit includes a built-in 5 V BEC with a 20 kHz PWM clock frequency, ensuring silent operation. It is ideal for functional model building, including auxiliary drives, trailer supports, and small model drive systems. The controller features an EMK motor brake that gently brings the model to a standstill when the throttle is in the neutral position.
Safety Information
Always read the operating instructions carefully before starting operation. The electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge; avoid touching them before discharging yourself. Ensure the controller is placed in a location that does not limit the range of your transmitter. Proper ventilation is essential during installation to prevent overheating. The controller must only be operated within the specified voltage range. Wiring should only be performed while the power is disconnected. Keep the device away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight. This product is not suitable for children under 14 years of age.
Installation and Connection
Ensure the power supply is switched off before performing any wiring. The controller is designed for a DC voltage of 6-16 V. Connect the red cable to the positive terminal and the black cable to the negative terminal of the battery. Incorrect polarity will immediately damage the controller. Connect the yellow cable to the positive motor terminal and the blue cable to the negative terminal. If the motor direction is incorrect, swap these connections. The servo cable plugs directly into the RC receiver. If your model already has a BEC voltage source, you must disconnect the red wire of the servo cable to prevent damage.
Safety and Warning Functions
The controller includes acoustic warning signals via the motor to ensure safe operation. Upon startup, a single beep indicates the program has started. If an overcurrent or short circuit is detected, the controller shuts down immediately and emits three beeps every 10 seconds. If the temperature exceeds 80°C, the controller shuts down and emits four beeps every 10 seconds. To restart after a fault, you must disconnect and reconnect the power supply.

Practical help
Common problems
Motor does not run after startup
Check for correct polarity, ensure the receiver is receiving a signal, and verify the battery is charged.
Three beeps every 10 seconds
Overcurrent or short circuit detected. Check motor wiring and load.
Four beeps every 10 seconds
Overtemperature protection triggered. Allow the controller to cool down and check for proper ventilation.
Incorrect motor direction
Swap the yellow and blue motor connection wires.
Before use
- Ensure the battery voltage is between 6-16 V.
- Verify the receiver is connected to the servo cable.
- Check that the red wire of the servo cable is disconnected if using an external BEC.
- Ensure the motor is properly connected to the yellow and blue wires.
- Confirm the throttle stick is in the neutral position.
- Ensure the controller has adequate ventilation.
- Verify that all connections are secure and insulated.
