helicopter tail Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Hi chaps have got this speed controler for my magnet but not sure how it should be wired up? Any help welcome pics would be great. It's got two wires out of each end of the box, a red and black each end. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEH Yes that would be perfect for sending the birds backwards on the rotary. So that's how they do it in Essex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 You really do not need a speed controller , but if you must there should be a mark or sticker which says which wires should go to the battery and which to the magnet , the red is the live, you will soon know if you have it wrong as you will blow the fuse in the controller , after doing that 3 times you will bin it and not use one as I suggested in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbw1shrops Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 You don't need a speed controller mate even though I bought one myself thinking it was a necessity but in fact I've used it all but once lol if you want it faster or slower have a look under the magnet motor there should be some connectors under it just try switching them around to get the desired effect. 👍 Atb Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helicopter tail Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Yes can use it as it is but it is one that I have made myself and on the lowest setting it still seems to be faster than the ones you can buy from what I have seen in vids. I have heard the faster you can have it the better. What do you guys think ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbw1shrops Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I'm unsure of the desired rpm a magnet should be But I'm sure someone will be along soon that does know ! Atb Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezi bez Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Mine seems to scare the birds if I have it flat out? atb ezi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superspark Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Fast for pigeon and slow as possible with crows/rooks on. Red is live or positive on battery. Blue or neutral on battery. Provided polarity is correct, if you get the speed controller input side on the load side ie the magnet, it just won't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
