Designed to handle rough use, the fuse and Sensitivity knob are tucked into the handle and are not as susceptible to drops. The color-coded wire makes it easier to ensure the correct wire makes it to the correct post. The absence of a Brake Pot means no brakes to blow when hooked up wrong. These features makes it great as a "Rental" or "House" controller, the controller you lend your guests. It features the following Controls: - Adjustable Sensitivity Provides a wide range that is set to run all HO cars from Tjets to 6 ohm magnet cars running up to 20V. - On/Off Brakes Brakes are available when the RED wire is connected . HO Lite Controls Sensitivity Knob - Fully CCW is the lowest sensitivity for the slowest starting speed. Fully CW is the highest sensitivity for the highest starting speed. Brakes - Connecting the REDwire provide Full Brakes at 0 ohms. Disconnecting the RED wire provides NO Brakes. OS3 HO Lite controllers feature the following: OS3 HandleNew Handle designed by OS3 to match the grip and feel of a Parma handle while allowing more internal room and a better mounting system. The two sides grip together with a positive positioning system that makes assembly a snap. No requirement to align the sides before tightening the screws or worrying about the sharp edges from a worn mold. Available in 6 colors, Red, Blue, Yellow, Clear, Black and Purple. Great for matching the standard lane colors of a 4 lane track. OS3 TriggerSuper strong rounded edge Nylon trigger. Similar in shape to the Parma trigger but a lot more comfortable on your finger. Super Flexible WireHighly flexible silicon coated wires are used on all controller. 16ga for Lites. They are available in many color options. Compact DesignTransistor-in-the-Handle design allows the controller to be light and compact while also reducing the sharp edges and cumbersome weight associated with Transistor-on-the-Wires designs. Pivot RivetRedesigned rivet removes the slop in the bushing and eliminates the need for bearings. It also locks into the frame to prevent the trigger position from drifting. Protected CircuitryAn external Mini Automotive fuse is included to protect track wiring and Power Supplies but is not necessary to protect the controller. The fuse is conveniently tucked into the top of the controller where it can be easily checked, quickly replaced and not accidentally dislodged. Nickel-Plated Board40 Bands for fine control. Resists wear while providing consistent and corrosion free electrical contact. Flexible Wiper ArmPrevents the need for complicated and expensive hinges or bearings while performing the same function of maintaining a positive wiper surface contact with minimal pressure. Aluminum FrameRedesigned frame serves as a heatsink and houses all components reducing overall weight. OS3 HO Lite Instructions Safety Precautions Operating Voltage The controller can operate safely up to 24V, probably higher but it is designed to be run from 12 - 20VDC. Outside thisvoltage range the sensitivity range may no longer be compatible with the car. Wire Life When storing your controller do NOT wrap the controller wire up and around the handle. It is recommended to leavethe wires loose or wrapped in a rubber band like when new in the package. Repeated sharp bends of the wire right atthe bottom of the handle will shorten the life of the wires. They will start breaking under the insulation causing them torequire replacement. Also be careful if you reassemble your controller. Do NOT pinch the trigger wire or the three maincontroller wires in the handle. One bad pinch can cause a pressure point where a failure can start to occur. Maintenance Cleaning the wiper board The wiper board should be kept clean of dust and dirt. It usually requires nothing more than a wipe with your finger. It is not necessary to oil the board. The oil will attract dirt and can cause a gritty feel, like rubbing sandpaper. The best lube I have found for the wiper board is the oil off your nose. It really does work. Wipe your finger down the front of your nose and then wipe the board. It’s all the lube you need. Checking the Fuse If the fuse blows the car will not move at all under any trigger or switch position. To verify the fuse hold it up to a light and look through the plastic for the piece of metal shaped like a sine wave. If the metal is missing replace the fuse with another 5A Mini ATC (Brown) fuse. ALL OS3 Pro Series controllers use 5-amp fuses. Selecting a lower amp fuse may cause the fuse to prematurely blow. Selecting a higher amp fuse may not protect the controller when running on a power supply of 10 amps or less. Controller Setup Basic HookupController Setup ALL OS3 Pro Series electronic controllers are designed to run on Positive tracks. Positive tracks have the White wire connected to the positive post of the Power Source and the Red wire connected to the negative post. The Black wire goes to the track to supply a variable positive voltage to one rail of the track with the other rail being connected to the negative post. Only the Black and White wires are required to power a car. In two wire operation all functions except BRAKES will work. Reversing the two wires will cause the cars to go full speed all the time. If your controller is not operating as expected after hookup, ensure all the wires have their colored boots matched to the same color posts of the track. If they were hooked up wrong check the fuse (See Maintenance Section) and test the operation again. If all the wires are hooked up correctly and the controller is still not operating correctly (Usually cars going full speed without control) your track is probably wired negatively.Controller Setup Controller Setup Setting the SensitivityController Setup Sensitivity determines how fast the car goes when first pulling the trigger. Rotating the BLUE SENS knob CCW slows the car’s starting speed. Rotating CW increases the starting speed.Controller Setup Controller Setup Setting the Brakes Brakes use the car’s momentum to send power to a short circuit which opposes the cars momentum and slows it down. Brakes are active when the Red wire is connected to the track and the trigger is fully released and touching the Resting Post. Leave the Red wire off to disable Brakes. Brakes are either Full On or Full Off. The is no adjustment for the Brakes. This listing is for One (1) HO Lite with Clear Handle and Red/Black/White 16g wires as shown.
