Professor Motor Electronic Controller

PMTR2116

Intended application : HO, 1/32 home & club track racing through 16D and JK Falcon.

· Recommended operating voltage range 14 to 19 volts DC

· Wired for POSITIVE polarity tracks

· Variable Sensitivity System (high quality single wire wound pot to adjust sensitivity setting)

· Electronic “Platinum Series” transistor design with ultra wide range of control

· Fault tolerant ultra robust circuit design to protect against overload or short circuit damage

· Internal handle-protected aluminum heat sink

· Fully functional in 2 wire (non-brake) application (some HO & 1/32)

· Extra long, heavy duty 16 gage PVC insulated controller leads

· Nickel plated alligator clips with color coded vinyl insulating boots

· High impact polycarbonate plastic molded handle, stainless steel hardware throughout

· Low friction silver alloy wiper button with ultra hard nickel plated contact surface

· Sensitivity Adjust - Adjust the silver color-coded knob with the white line “up” for MINIMUM sensitivity. Turn

· Caution ! : Regular maintenance is required to keep the controller contacts clean and free from foreign

objects & debris. Failure to properly clean, lube and maintain the contacts will cause the controller to fail, will

allow the car to be driven without the throttle being depressed and can result in the wire wound pot used for

brake control becoming short circuited & damaged. Please take this warning seriously and follow this

process to keep the contacts clean & properly lubricated :

1. Remove the front half of the controller case by loosening the three bolts

2. Clean all debris from the nickel-plated contacts with a Q-Tip and lighter fluid

3. The sliding contacts MUST be CAREFULLY lubricated to reduce contact wear and provide a

smoother controller action. To lube, do so as follows :

a. Place a SMALL amount of Super Lube PTFE lube on the end of a Q-Tip & apply to the

nickel contacts in the area where the silver alloy contact travels

b. Cycle the trigger a few times

c. Use a Q-Tip with lighter fluid to remove any excess lube outside of the area where the

contacts meet (remove 90% of the lube you just applied)

d. Examine the contact area to insure that cotton fibers from the Q-Tip are removed and

that residual lube is minimal & barely visible

4. Repeat this cleaning / lube process on a frequent basis (every 1-2 weeks) for best results.

· Periodic Maintenance – lube the trigger pivot bushing with plastic compatible oil

· Power Relay System PMTR2037 – provides a more positive low resistance path at Wide Open Throttle

· PMTR2039 5 Ohm Brake Pot if used exclusively for 1/24 commercial racing

· PMTR2030 Power Pilot Light System

Special Note :
Professor Motor now specifies "Super Lube" as the preferred PTFE fortified lubricant for the rubbing contacts of the Platinum Series controllers.
This lube is far superior to the previously recommended Tri-Flo lube. Super Lube is available in 2 size containers.

please see the Liquids Catalog for more information and follow the NEW instructions for the required maintenance.
