This section describes the installation step by step. It is of utmost importance that all work steps are carried
out correctly and completely. Incorrect or improper connection can lead to malfunctions or to damage and/or
destruction of the electronics, the installed components or the model! Contact your dealer's customer
support if you have any questions about the installation that are not answered by these instructions.!

Connection of the power supply
•Connect the battery to the battery connector. Attach the red wire to
the "+" terminal and the black wire to the "-" terminal of the battery
plug. #
ATTENTION! Reversing the connections will destroy the electronics! !
•Attach the 15A main fuse to the red cable at a position suitable for
your model. To do this, cut the cable, place the ends in the clip
connections of the fuse holder and close them until you feel them
click into place.!
•Attach a connector suitable for your battery type to the battery-facing
side of the supply cables. Make sure that no short circuits can occur
here during operation of the model. There is a risk of fire!!
ElMod FusionX is equipped with a voltage monitor that protects the battery from deep discharge. The battery
type setting can be changed in the ElMod App. The default setting is 6-
cell NiMH battery. With this setting, any other battery with a voltage up to
max. 11.1V can be used. However, deep discharge protection is then not
provided for a 3S LiPo battery, for example.!
For the battery protection to become active, the switch-offvoltage must
be undercut for at least one second. After that, all driving functions and
sound are switched off. The red error LED remains permanently on, the
blue status LED is off. The announcement "Low voltage" is played every
five seconds. To turn offthe active battery protection again, the
electronics must be switched offand on again. If the battery protection
becomes active when the motor load is high, e.g. when driving in difficult
terrain, the battery used may be of inferior quality or not sufficiently
dimensioned for the application. Preferably use high-quality batteries, e.g.
Kokam® or Yuki Model®.#
Connection of the drive motors
#
One or two DC motors can be used as drive motors.!
The maximum short-term current consumption of a motor is limited to 30
A. The permanent current load is 10 A. The motor drivers are located
directly to the left of the motor terminals. They are protected against short
circuit and overload. If a driver is overloaded, the motor stops. After
cooling down, the drive can be continued. For more frequent failures, the
motor drivers can be retrofitted with a heat sink.!
•Connect the leads of the motor for the right drive to the MotR terminal.!
•Connect the leads of the motor for the left drive to the MotL terminal.!
•For vehicles with only one drive motor, use one of the two connections.!
•Keep the cable length as short as possible. This helps to avoid interference. As additional protection
against interference, the motor cables can be twisted together.!
It is irrelevant which cable (+/- of the motor) is attached in which screw terminal of the plug. Reversing the
"polarity" of a motor only causes the motor to rotate in the opposite direction. The direction of rotation of the
motors is determined by the "teach-in" process described below.!
