Arming the ESC and Receiver
Arming the ESC also occurs after binding as previously described, but subse-
quent connection of a fl ight battery requires the steps below.
AS3X
The AS3X system will not activate until the throttle stick or trim is increased for
the fi rst time. Once the AS3X is active, the control surfaces may move rapidly
on the aircraft. This is normal. AS3X will remain active until the battery is
disconnected.
NOTICE:
Due to increased servo power demands, only use the 60-Amp Pro
Switch-Mode BEC Brushless ESC (EFLA1060B V2) with the AR635 receiver. Use
of any other ESC presently available may result in damage to the aircraft.
DO NOT
connect the battery while the throttle stick is at full or the ESC will go
into programming mode. If a musical tone sounds after 5 seconds, immediately
disconnect the battery, then lower the throttle. Refer to the ESC manual (avail-
able separately) for more information.
CAUTION:
Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed,
the motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement.
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the aircraft receiver
when not fl ying to avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries discharged to a
voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become damaged,
resulting in loss of performance and potential fi re when batteries are charged.
1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings. Power on the
Transmitter, then wait 5 seconds.
2. Remove the battery hatch and install the flight battery to the hook and
loop strip, then connect the battery to the ESC, noting proper polarity.
3. Power ON the ESC switch (
A
) on the left side of the battery compartment.
Keep the aircraft immobile on its wheels away from wind for 5 seconds.
•
The ESC will sound a series of tones (refer to step 4 of the
binding instructions for more information).
•
An LED will light on the receiver (the red, blue and green gain
LEDs will also fl ash).
If the ESC sounds a continuous double beep after the flight battery is
connected, recharge or replace the battery.
For further explanation of the gain lights, refer to the “Initializing the AR635”
section of the AR635 receiver manual.
TIP:
The ESC switch enables you to easily disarm the propeller while
you are not fl ying, but will still draw current from the battery.
