Heli-Max AXE CP-L User manual

1. Unplug the E-Board lead connector located in the 3rd slot
down from the top of the receiver.
2. Plug the LPM lead labeled “To CH3 RX” into the 3rd slot
down from the top of the receiver.The black or brown wire on
this connector must be toward the front of the helicopter.
3. Plug the E-Board connecter that was unplugged in Step 1
into the LPM, making sure that the E-Board connector wire
colors match the label on the LPM (LPM “–” to Black, LPM
“+” to Red, LPM “ ” to White).
LiPo Protection Module (LPM)
IMPORTANT: Must be installed before flying your AXE CP-L.
The LiPo Protection Module (LPM) helps to extend the life and performance of your flight battery. Once the flight battery
has been discharged, the LPM will slowly reduce the throttle, letting you know that it is time to land.
Over-discharging your LiPo flight battery (even once) will decrease the capacity and overall performance, and could
potentially cause a fire. Using this LiPo Protection Module will help prevent accidentally discharging your battery too far.
The LPM unit MUST be installed before flying your AXE CP-L. Installation of the LPM will not reduce your flight time. The
LPM simply protects the battery from being over-discharged. The LPM unit will provide the best life span for your LiPo
battery and increase your safety.

4. Place the LPM under the receiver. Use a tie strap supplied
to secure the “To Battery” lead from the LPM to the main
frame as shown. Cut the excess tie strap using a pair of
diagonal cutters or scissors.
5. Connect the LPM lead labeled “To E-Board” to the E-Board
power lead. Use a tie strap to attach the E-Board power lead
as shown. Remove the excess tie strap using diagonal cutters
or scissors.
6. Please take a moment to verify that the polarity of all
connections are correct and review the steps above to
ensure everything is connected properly.
The LiPo Protection Module does not require any additional setup before use. Your Axe CP-L is now ready to fly. Toward
the end of the flight you will notice a reduction in power. This reduction in power is the first warning that the flight battery is
almost fully discharged. Bring the model into a hover and land the model as soon as possible. It is best to land immediately
if you notice a reduction in the power. If you continue to fly, the throttle will be slowly reduced until the model will no longer
fly. If the battery voltages drop below a safe level, the drive motor will no longer operate. This prevents the flight battery from
being damaged.
It is not necessary to fully discharge a LiPo battery before recharging. In fact, over-discharging a LiPo can dramatically
decrease its useful life. Unlike NiCds and NiMHs, LiPos do not form a “memory” if only partially discharged. DO allow a LiPo
battery to cool for at least 10 minutes before recharging -- and if storing it for longer than 2 weeks, make sure the battery
contains a minimum of 50% charge.
LiPo batteries provide a power to weight ratio that far surpasses all other battery technologies available today. With proper
cautions, LiPo batteries can be used safely and will last a very long time.
We hope you enjoy flying your Axe CP-L.
