Information from Hacker Motor Service
Dear customers, there are still failures and fires of Master MEZON 90, Mezon 90 lite
and Mezon 95 opto controllers when used in F3A models.
The reason is as follows: These controls are all too small for use in an F3A model!
Reason:
1. Mezon controllers are constructed differently than e.g. Master SPIN controller.
Only a few power transistors are used in the MEZON's (only 6 in the MEZON 90!),
which have to carry the entire current load.
With the SPIN 99, for example, many smaller MosFets are installed, which are distributed
over a larger area on the heat sink.
The heat dissipation is thus much better, the controller has better "taker qualities".
A MEZON 90 is therefore not comparable to a SPIN 99.
2. The phase currents are significantly higher under load than the indicated current in the controller.
A regulator should therefore always be designed 20% -30% stronger.
3. MEZON lite controllers also have a smaller, flatter, heat sink than normal MEZON controllers.
To make matters worse, that this smaller heat sink is also covered all around by the shrink tube of the regulator.
4. A reduction in the regulator opening in the transmitter brings no improvement, on the contrary, the controller gets even hotter in operation, since it has to tackle constantly and never fully through can. Deadly in the summer for the regulator.
Please inform your customers about these things when buying. Our recommendation for F3A use is either a Master MEZON 130 as a BEC controller, or at least a Master MEZON 115 Opto, better a MEZON 135 Opto in the optocoupler version. With these stronger controllers, the Lite version is conceivable, if not optimal.
With our F3A recommendations in the Hacker shop you will find no indication of the small Master MEZON controllers.
The argument for higher weight or additional costs certainly does not apply. When weight difference we speak of about 10 gramm, at the cost of a few euros. If a controller that is too small burns down, the damage is even more costly.
Thanks for your support. With your help we can certainly reduce new failures in the F3A scene.
Keep trying. Youll find the right document soon.
DANGER:
Safety advice for our customers!
Concerns the joint operation of third party receivers and JETI MEZON OPTO controllers
Lately there have been very sporadic problems with the operation of receivers from other manufacturers when connected with a JETI Mezon OPTO speed controller.
Situation:
If, contrary to the safety guidelines, not the drive battery is first switched off by the controller, but first the receiver system, this combination may in rare cases cause the motor to start unintentionally.
CAUTION! Risk of injury!
Since at the moment it is not yet clear which of these receiver / JETI-MEZON-OPTO controller combinations may cause this error, in the interest of your own safety we would like to ask our customers to disconnect the drive battery first and then turn off the receiver power supply first. If this is not possible, we will prescribe a JETImodel Enlink 2RS Plus - DUO signal repeater between third party receivers and JETI MEZON OPTO controllers. We have already informed the relevant manufacturers and will keep you up to date. In the interest of your safety, we would like to draw your attention in this connection once more to the safety and hazard warnings described in the instructions. R / C systems should always be operated with due care and caution. If you have any questions, please contact our service team at any time. Your team of Hacker Motor GmbH
