OS3 Pro Elite Controller

OS3 All Pro Elite Controller

Wiperless version of the HO ALL Pro. 2 or 3 wire Positive Gate operation from 12 to 24V with Adjustable Sensitivty, Coast, Choke, and Brakes. Runs ALL HO cars including ALL Pancake motor cars (OS3 TFX, AW, Aurora, DASH), ALL 6 ohm cars (Tyco, Lifelike, Tomy Super G+ and Mega G and Wizzard) and ALL Modifieds, RO and NEO cars. 

The HO ALL Pro ELITE is a WIPERLESS HO Scale electronic controller featuring all the basics of the Pro Series controllers.   The ELITE's switches and knobs perform the exact same functions as they do on the Wipered HO ALL Pro, just without the wiper board.   It is intended for use with All HO cars.

Features:

3 Range Adjustable Sensitivity A 3 position switch offers three different ranges to maximize the Sensitivity adjustment.   The Middle switch position is intended for most HO cars.   It provides a range that is good for some Tjets through most SS magnet cars.   The Low (T) setting (T-Jets) can be used to lower the Sensitivity range down for Tjets, DASH, Johnny Lightning, Auto World and some AFX/MT cars.   When running hot magnet cars and 12V gravity cars the High (M) setting (Magnet Cars) can be used.

• Adjustable Brakes A 100 ohm brake pot provides the best braking range for HO racing.

• Adjustable Coast Coast is now set slower than the previous version.   This new range provides better slow speed control where only a small amount of power is applied to the car.   This amount of power start way below what is required to start a car moving or even keep it moving but it works well in providing just enough extra roll to counteracts strong magnetic downforce on magnet cars.   Since the Coast design is not resistor-based it does not use the Coast pot to dissipate heat.   All heat is contained inside the controller where it is safe to handle.   All 3 Pots on the ALL Pro ELITE will remain cool at all times (Assuming proper track connection).
  • This unique design allows the Coast and Sensitivity to be independent of each other.  Set the Coast and then set the Sensitivity WITHOUT having to go back and readjust the Coast.
  • The RED Brake wire does not have to be connected for Coast to function.

•  Adjustable Choke Flattens out the response of the controller.  This allows the entire range of the trigger to be used in controlling the car vice just a small portion.  Choke basically reduces the max voltage of the trigger pull right before the trigger reaches the Full Power post.   The Choke is fully bypassed at the full trigger pull depending on the Full Power Kill Switch position.   The RED Brake wire does not have to be connected for Choke to function.

• Full Power Kill Switch With the switch in the Kill position, the Full Power post is not powered.   Full Power will be set to the Choked value.   If the Choke setting is at Min, the output voltage at full pull will be about 1-1.5V below track voltage.   Increasing the Choke will reduce that power further.   This is useful when running cars too sensitive for full track voltage ie. Brass Cars.   It is also useful for lowering the power for new drivers.   In the Full Power position, full track voltage is available at full trigger pull.   There is no indicator to distinguish each position since the power running any LED would act as Coast power when the trigger is released.   With a car on the track it is easy to test if the car increases speed when reaching the Full Power trigger position.   The switch is well tucked in.   Once set it will stay and does not need to be checked during use.

Controls

 Sensitivity Selector Switch With the switch in the (T) position the Sensitivity knobs adjusts the lowest Sensitivity Range.   With the switch in the (M) position the highest Sensitivity Range is selected.   With the switch in the center the middle and most useful range is selected.

 Brake/-/Coast Selector Switch With the Switch in the "B" position Brakes are selected.   In the "C" position Coast is selected.   With the Switch in the middle position neither Brakes nor Coast is selected.

 Sensitivity Knob Fully CCW is the lowest sensitivity for the slowest starting speed within the selected Sensitivity Range.  Fully CW is the highest sensitivity for the highest starting speed within the selected Sensitivity Range.

 Choke Knob Fully CCW provides the most choke, the flattest response.   Fully CW provides the lowest choke or normal linear response.

 Brake/Coast Knob With the B/-/C switch in the B position, Fully CW yields Maximum brakes, 0 ohms, while fully CCW yields Minimum brakes, 100 ohms.  Minimum Brakes still provides some braking.  To remove all braking from the controller the RED Brake wire needs to be removed.   With the switch in the C position, Fully CW yields the Minimum Coast.   Fully CCW yields the Maximum Coast.  With the switch in the middle position the knob has no effect.

 Full Power Kill Switch With the switch in the Kill position, the Full Power post is not powered.   Full Power will be set to the Choked value.   In the Full Power position, full track voltage is available at full trigger pull.

NOTE: It is not recommended to run high downforce cars at Max Choke in the Kill position.   The controller will get hotter faster than in the Full Power position.
