Dear customer, Dear fellow-modeller, We are delighted that you have decided to purchase a MULTIPLEX radio control system. Your PROFI CAR 301 has all, what’s needed for ON- or OFF-ROAD models in 1:12, 1:10 and 1:8 scale. Hardware, design and operation philosophy are the same as in the two „big“ radios (PROFI CAR 403 and 707). Modifications have been made only, where required by an optimised user-friendliness. We wish you many hours of pleasure with your PROFI CAR. Yours - the MULTIPLEX team 1.

3. The “instrument panel” (screen) The illustration below shows everything that the screen can display. What you actually see at any one time depends on whether the stopwatch is active, and whether you are currently programming the transmitter or using it. You will find a few examples below the illustration.
4. The basic principles The five menu buttons of the PROFI CAR are the key to all the adjustments you can make. The symbols tell you the menu points to which each button provides access.
5. Switching on for the first time 5.1. Charging the transmitter battery (maximum charge current 1 A) First connect the charge lead (Order No. 12 5023) to the charger, then connect the charge lead to the transmitter. Charging - important: • Automatic battery fuse The battery in your PROFI CAR features an integral thermal fuse which protects the pack if it is shorted, or if the charge current is excessive.
6. The STEERING L The PROFI CAR offers the following facilities for setting up the steering function: • • • • 6.1. Servo norm, centre and travel right/left (è 6.1) These settings are used to adjust the servo to match your car’s mechanical system, and at the same time determine the maximum steering travel and the centre setting for straight running. Steering MINTRA (MINimum TRAvel) (è 6.2) You can adjust the steering travel using the digi-adjustor while you are running the car.
This is the procedure: PREPARATION: § Set the steering trim to centre Operate the ribbed steering trim rocker until only the centre point is visible on the screen. § Set the steering travel to maximum Operate the digi-adjustor until the maximum steering travel is displayed on the screen.
6.2. Setting minimum steering travel You can adjust the steering travel during a race using the digi-adjustor, ensuring that the response is optimum for the track and your car at all times. Note: this only works when the operating screen is visible! The vertical bar on the far right of the screen shows how much steering travel you actually have available at any one time. In our example 2/3 of the possible range between minimum and maximum is available.
6.4. Setting the steering trim increment (menu „T “) The trim rocker for steering can easily be found “blind” because its shape and ribbed surface are different from those of the other rockers. L The steering trim can be used to adjust the centre position of the steering servo by 28% in either direction. Each increment offsets the centre by at least 1% (FINE) and at most 4% (COARSE). You can select the size of the trim increment in the TRIM menu point of the „T“ menu; the default setting is MEDIUM (2%).
7.1. Throttle and brake with EXPO You can apply EXPOnential to set the response of the throttle/brake function to suit your personal preference. The diagram on the right shows the relationship between the trigger movement and the servo travel in graphic form. If you set EXPO to 0%, the effect of the throttle/brake curve is linear. The dotted lines show how EXPO can alter the two curves. If you set EXPO to a negative value, the trigger will be more sensitive around the idle position.
The next step is to define the basic settings for full throttle (L L ), idle (• • ) and for the lock point (Œ Œ ). These settings ensure that servo 2 (throttle/brake servo) is set up correctly to suit your model. A press until S-TRAV appears A 7.3.
8. Stopwatch and operating hours timer º The PROFI CAR 301 provides the following timing facilities: v v v 8.1. Stopwatch (TIMER) Start and stop the stopwatch using the handle button G, provided that the function has already been switched on in the TIMER menu. Stopwatch SIGNAL Audible signal which can be used to signal the end of a practice run, for example (max. 20 min.).
8.3. Checking and erasing the operating time In this menu point you can check and erase the recorded operating time. To erase the value you must hold the handle button G pressed in for longer than 3 sec; you will hear an audible signal to confirm that the erasure has taken place. § OPTIME 6:17 Use the º button to search for the menu point OPTIME The screen shows hours and minutes. h:min Press any menu button (except º) to return to the operating screen. 9.
9.3. to return to the operating screen This menu point is used to reset the model memory to the factory default settings. These settings are: Servo centre 0%, servo travels 100% § ERASE ALL Use the 1 button to search for the menu point ERASE ALL § Confirm the erasure by holding the G button pressed in for longer than 3 sec. Press any menu button (except 1) to return to the operating screen. 10.
10.1. Setting the auxiliary channel mode (menu point “S-NORM”) The modes for the auxiliary channel are located at the point where you also set the direction of rotation and signal format for this channel. Use the „T“ button to search for the menu point “S-NORM”. Select one of the modes: 3Position, FLashing or Proportional using the digiadjustor. Press any menu button (except T ) to return to the operating screen. § § 10.2.
§ § Use the „T“ button to search for the menu point “AM-FM”. Use the digi-adjustor to select the correct modulation to match the receiver in that model. Press any menu button (except T ) to return to the operating screen. Entering the owner’s name (menu „T“, NAME ) To identify your transmitter you can enter a 6-character name which appears briefly on the screen when you switch the unit on. The following characters are available: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ-0123456789 11.2.
12. Tips on installing the receiving system in the model There is usually very little scope for changing the arrangement of the receiving system in a model car. However, please read and observe our recommendations regarding deploying the aerial.
13.2. Range checking The range check makes a really important contribution to the operational security and safety of your model. We have developed a test procedure based on our own experience and measurements, which will always keep you on the safe side. § § § § § Collapse the transmitter aerial completely, and hold the transmitter as if operating a model. The check must be carried out with the motor running.
13.4. Maintenance Your transmitter contains no parts which require maintenance. ! However, we do recommend that you carry out regular range checks, and check that all functions are working correctly. What to do if you have queries, or if problems arise? First ask your local model shop for advice. The last page includes a list of our Service Centres. For technical queries, or questions regarding the use of our transmitters, you can ring the MULTIPLEX-Hotline +49-7233-7343.
