5.2.5 ESC maintenance
Zoe’s ESCs do not require any maintenance themselves. They are embedded in the center frame of the
Zoe, and are vital to the performance of the drone. Do not attempt to open the center frame, as the
internal components are very sensitive and should be handled with care.
5.2.5.1 Acoustic check
After powering the drone, an acoustic sound should be heard shortly after booting the flight controller.
The sound should be heard in the motor, not in the center core. If this sound continues for more than
30 seconds, a reboot is advised. If it doesn’t go away after a second reboot, contact Customer
Success

.
5.2.5.2 Performance check
During the preflight check, you will be able to verify whether an ESC is functioning properly by starting
the motors. If a motor doesn’t start up, or it grinds to a halt when running idle, disarm the drone and
stop the operation.
5.2.5.3 ESC replacement
An ESC should be replaced after 640 flight hours. Contact Customer Success to organize
replacement of an ESC.
If an ESC or motor isn’t functioning properly, discontinue any flight activities and contact
Customer Success

5.2.6 Autopilot maintenance
Zoe’s autopilot does not require any hardware maintenance. It is embedded in the center frame of the
Zoe, and is vital to the performance of the drone. Do not attempt to open the center frame, as the
internal components are very sensitive, and should be handled with care.
Note
This is the only functionality check to be performed for an ESC.
