ASCU Gen3+ Issue

[TH3 PR3T3ND3R]

Just wondering if anyone can help me with a problem I have came across, I have just recently installed the ASCU Gen3+ into my gearbox however it doesn't seem to want to work.

When I connect the battery the unit beeps, as it says it should, however It does not fire. I have tried to access the program mode on it by following the instructions provided with it but again all I get is the single beep when I connect the battery. I have tried to troubleshoot the issue with solutions in the instructions but all it tells me is a misplaced selector plate could anyone help and expand on that?

This has been covered in other posts in the forum but to recap mine was the same on a g&p aeg with a m120 motor and ended up having to put a m170 devil motor in as the m120 wasnt good enough no idea why but changing the motor worked for me

Re: ASCU Gen3+ Issue

this is going to be down to one of 3 things,
the motor as jonglow has talked about above.
crimped or damaged cables, the ones i've worked on have alway been at the buffer tube. ( i also seen it when i tried to front wire a Ascu ) disreguard this as its the gen3,
or battery issues, had a 7.4 lipo that would cause this issue every time it was used, 3 balances later the battery imploded

let us know what you find,

Re: ASCU Gen3+ Issue

Thanks for the reply guys, I don't think its the motor as its a lonex a2 installed at the moment. Have also tried different batteries with no success.

Might seem a bit stupid but how do you do a factory reset as I haven't been able to find that in the instructions with the ascu?

Also has anyone else had issues with the wires for the motor been on the short side? as mine seem to be a struggle to get to reach and tight when connected, could this be the problem?

Re: ASCU Gen3+ Issue

I have just installed one of these in my M4 based DMR. The motor wires are short and I had to extend one of mine to allow the motor to sit centrally in the grip. The ASCU has built in protection so if your meshing is too tight it won't allow a potential overload situation. Also ensure that you empty hop detection is turned off.

Good luck.

Re: ASCU Gen3+ Issue

have you checked your fire selector plate, i had a similar issue where it didnt sit correctly so it thought it was in safe at all times

running g&p with ascu gen 3+ and lonex a2 titan

this was the problem i had with mine,it was sensing that the mag was empty therefore cutting the power,so i had to reprogramme it and turn the sensor off
