ESC GUIDELINES
Reversing the motor
The motor turning direction can be reversed at any time by revering the two red/black power wires connected to the motor. (DO NOT
REVERSE POLARITY FROM THE BATTERY CONNECTOR AT ANY TIME)
How it works
1.) Turn on your transmitter.
2.) Connect the main power to the Electron.
3.) You will hear 4 beeps once power is supplied to the Electron.
4.) The Electron will remain disarmed until the throttle stick is moved to the upright position (The Electron has an 8 second slow spool up
feature, this feature is a power saver and to prevent the motor from accidentally powering up).
The Electron 75 has a 30 second re-initialization function (in soft start modes only). This will be activated if the throttle is in the low position
for 30 seconds or more. This function will cause a “soft start” or slow increase in throttle no matter how quickly the throttle is moved.
Troubleshooting
Everything is hooked up correctly, the receiver & servos work, but throttle does not respond.
The Electron is not seeing “low stick” and is not arming. Try moving the throttle stick and trims to low positions until the speed control
arms. Observe any endpoint adjustments that may also relate to the throttle. The throttle channel may need to be reversed in the trans
-
mitter to allow the proper throttle response.
Every time when throttle is at maximum the ESC cuts off after a moment, even with new fully charged batteries.
Electron will turn off the motor if the battery voltage drops below the programmed voltage safeguard. This is to prevent unexpected and
erratic results. If the cutoff occurs on new fully charged batteries the motor may be drawing too much current from the battery. This will
cause the battery voltage to drop very rapidly and initiate the safeguard. The motor may be compromised in some way by too much resis-
tance in the gearing or a prop or blades that are too large for the motor. The battery being used may not be capable of supplying enough
power to the motor. Try other batteries.
Nothing works!
Check all the connections to ensure correct polarity and power supply. Also check transmitter for any inhibitors. If there is nothing else
that can be done then call the dealer where you purchased the Electron or Century directly. Please refer to the warranty section.
