5
pack and wait 5 seconds to reconnect the battery and repeat the above steps.
NORMAL ESC START UP PROCEDURE
1.
Switch your Transmitter
ON
and set the throttle to its
minimum
position.
2.
Connect the battery pack to the ESC.
3.
When the ESC is first powered up, it emits two sets of audible tones in succession indicating its
working status.
* The first set of tones denotes the number of cells in the LiPo pack connected to the ESC. (Three
beeps (***)indicates a 3 cell LiPo pack while 4 beeps (****) indicates a 4 cell LiPo pack).
* The second set of tones denotes Brake status (one beep(*) for Brake “ON” and two beeps (**) for
Brake “OFF”).
The ESC is now ready for use.
General Safety Precautions
Do not install the propeller (fixed wing) or drive pinion(helicopter) on the motor when you test the
ESC and motor for the first time to verify the correct settings on your radio. Only install your
propeller or pinion after you have confirmed that the settings on your radio is correct.
●
Never use ruptured or punctured battery cells.
●
Never use battery packs that are known to overheat.
●
Never use short circuit battery or motor terminals.
●
Always use proper insulation material for cable insulation.
●
Always use proper cable connectors.
●
Do not exceed the number of cells or servos specified by the ESC.
Wrong battery polarity will damage the ESC and void the warranty.
●
Install the ESC in a suitable location with adequate ventilation for cooling. This ESC has a built-in
over temperature cutoff protection feature that will immediately cut power to the motor once the
ESC temperature exceeds the 230 Deg F/ 110 Deg C high temperature limit.
●
Use only batteries that are supported by the ESC and ensure the correct polarity before connecting.
●
Switch your Transmitter ON and ensure the throttle stick is in the minimum position before
connecting the battery pack.
●
Never switch your transmitter off while the battery is connected to your ESC.
●
Only connect your battery pack just before flying and do not leave your battery pack connected after
flying.
●
Handle your model with extreme care once the battery pack is connected and keep away from the
propeller at all times. Never stand in-line or directly in front of any rotating parts.
●
Do not immerse the ESC underwater or allow it to get wet while powered up.
●
Always fly at a designated flying site and abide by the rules and guidelines set by your flying club.
Trouble Shooting
Trouble Possible
Reason Action
Motor doesn’t work, but there are
audible tones signalling the
number of cells after powering up
ESC.
The ESC throttle calibration has
not set up.
Set up the ESC throttle
calibration.
Motor doesn’t work and no audible
tone emitted after connecting the
battery. Servos are not working
either.
Poor/loose Connection between
battery Pack and ESC.
Clean connector terminals or
replace connector.
No power
Replace with a freshly charged
battery pack
Poor soldered connections (dry
joints)
Re-solder the cable connections
Wrong battery cable polarity
Check and verify cable polarity
