Start-up
Protection
Over heat
protection
ESC will cut off output if it fails to start the motor within 3 seconds by accelerating throttle. you need to move the throttle
stick back to the bottom position and restart the motor.( The possible causes : Bad connection or disconnection between
ESC & motor , propellers are blocked, etc)
When ESC temperature is higher than 100
℃
,it will reduce output power (throttle will be limited below 40%) for protection,
leave some power for motor to land , when the temperature Reduced to 80
℃
, ESC recover to normal running mode.
When ESC detects the loss of throttle signal for over 1 seconds, it will cut off power or output immediately to avoid an
even greater loss caused by the continuous high speed rotation of propellers. ESC will resume the corresponding output
after the normal signal is restored.

Programming
It is recommended to use Flycolor app to change parameters through Flycolor Wi-Fi Trans.
In addition the program card can also change parameters.
[1]NO(default) [2]Soft [3]Heavy [4]Very heavy
1. Brake
:
:
[1] LiPo(default) [2] NiCd/NiMh
2. Battery type
3. Cutoff voltage:
Low-voltage protection threshold, [1] Low [2] Medium (default) [3] High
For Ni-xx battery packs
:
Low/Medium/High cut off voltage is 50%/65%/75% of the battery packs
'
initial voltage.
For LiPo battery: can count battery cells automatic. Low voltage protection threshold :Low
(
2.8V
)
/ Medium
(
3.0V
)
/ High
(
3.2V
)
.Eg:For 4S/14.8V Lipo battery packs, low voltage protection threshold is 11.2V low/12.0V medium /12.8Vhigh.
4. Timing
:
[1]0° [2]3.75° [3]7.5° [4]11.25° [5]15°(default) [6]18.75° [7]22.5° [8]26.25°
Low
(
0°/ 3.75°/ 11.25°/15°/ 18.75°
)
--for most inner rotor motors
High
(
22.5°/ 26.25°
)
--For 6 poles or higher poles outer rotor motors
As usual, 15° applies to all the outer rotor motors , but for improving efficiency ,recommend that set low timing for 2 poles
motor( most inner rotor motors), set high timing for 6 poles and high poles motors( most outer rotor motors). If need high
speed motor, you can set high timing. Some motors should set special timing, if not sure, you
'
d better to set timing as motor
manufacturer recommended ,or set 15
°
.
Note: After changing timing, please test on the ground before flying.
5. Startup Mode
:
Start up with linear accelerator
[1] Normal: It's preferred for fixed wing. (default)
[2] Soft: It's preferred for helicopter, it will take 6 seconds from 0% throttle to 100% throttle.
[3] Very soft: It's preferred for helicopter, it will take 12 seconds from 0% throttle to 100% throttle.
6.Governor mode
: [1]OFF(default) [2]Low [3]High
If the Governor mode is activated, ESC will try to keep the motor in a fixed speed ( usually the throttle curve is a horizontal
line, you can change the preset motor speed by changing the height of the line).
[1] OFF(default)
[2] Low , "Low constant speed" mode , 10000-20000RPM for 2 poles brushless motor .
[3] High, "High constant speed" mode , above 20000RPM for 2 poles brushless motor .
Note: Governor mode function is automatically disabled if the throttle value less than 60%.

]
8K
Hz
[
2
]
16K
Hz
(default)
[

For high poles and high speed motors, the higher PWM frequency can make motor drive smoothly, but the higher PWM frequency
will make ESC hotter .

9. Voltage cutoff option:
[1] Reduce cutoff(default ): the voltage drops to the set low-voltage protection threshold , ESC will reduce the power then cut off the
motor output
[2] Cut off: the voltage drops to the set low-voltage protection threshold , ESC will cut off the motor output immediately.

ESC is ready for
working now
1.When first time to use ESC, you must set throttle range.
You just need to calibrate throttle range only once, but you must set again if you change transmitter.
2.Before connecting battery packs, please check if all the connectors polarity are correct
,
to avoid ESC damage for false connection or
short circuit .
3. If motor stops suddenly during flying, please move throttle stick to the zero position immediately, then push the throttle stick to make
the motor restart, then move throttle tick to a small range to land the aircraft immediately.
After powering up, motor doesn't run and
doesn't emit any sound.
Bad connection between ESC and battery.
Bad soldering cause bad contact.
Low voltage of the battery.
Quality problem of ESC.
Clean the connectors or replace them, check the
connection polarity.
Solder the wires again.
Check battery pack, use full-charged battery.
Change ESC
.
After powering up, ESC emits the sound of
battery cells, but motor can't run.
ESC doesn't set throttle range
.
Set throttle range again
.
After powering up,ESC works ,but motor can't
run and doesn't emit any sound.
After powering up ESC, motor doesn't run and
emits warning tone“Beep-Beep”.(a short stop
after “Beep-Beep”)
Bad connection between ESC and motor, or
bad soldering.
Bad
motor.
Battery voltage out of range
Check the connectors or replace the connectors
or solder the motor wire again.
Change motor.
Check the battery voltage is within the range of ESC.
After powering up, motor doesn't work and
emits warning tone“Beep-,Beep-,Beep-”(emits
every 2 seconds).
No output throttle signal from receiver.
Check if right connection between signal wire and
receiver throttle channel.
Check transmitter and receiver, make sure there
are signal outputs.
After powering up, motor doesn't work and
emits continuous
warning tone“Beep-”
Throttle doesn't in the zero position.
Push the throttle to the zero position, or set
throttle range again.
After powering up, motor doesn't work .ESC
emits 2 long “Beep” and 2 short “Beep”.
The positive and negative of throttle channel
is wrong. So ESC enters programming
mode.
Refer to the user instruction of transmitter, adjust
the setting of throttle channel.
Motor rotates in the opposite direction.
The wrong sequence of connection wires
between motor and ESC.
1.Exchange random 2 of the 3 connection wires
between ESC and motor.
2.Change motor rotation direction via
mobile
phone
App
,
transmitter or programming card.
Motor stops during running
Loss throttle signal
Bad connection between wires
Check the connectors of battery pack, battery
wires ,motor wires connections are good.
Troubles
Possible causes
Solutions
Battery voltage is lower than low-voltage
protection threshold and low-voltage
protection mode is cutoff output.
1.Set right low-voltage protection threshold. Run
with full-charged battery pack. Choose reduce
power as Low-voltage protection .If power is
decreasing during running, please fly back soon.
2.Make sure your aircraft in the range available to
control with your transmitter.
3.Attention to the voltage of transmitter, if it will
run out of the battery, please fly back soon.
1.Check if the transmitter operation correct.
2.Check if transmitter match with receiver.
3.Strong electromagnetic interference around
the used environment, try to turn off and power
up again, to see if it recovers normal work, if the
problem come up again and again, please change
to another field.
251400-1088 V1.6
Alarm tone: (To judge the abnormal cases via alarm tone )
1.Alarm tone of signal loss : when ESC detects no signal , motor will emit the alarm tone “Beep-
、
Beep
、-
Beep-”
(
alarm tone
emits every 2 seconds).
2.Alarm tone of throttle not in the zero throttle position: throttle not in the zero throttle position, motor will emit
“Beep-Beep-Beep-Beep-Beep-” ( urgent single short tone).
3. Alert tone of narrower throttle range: when throttle range is set too narrow, motor emits “Beep-Beep-Beep”(harried alarm tone
emits last for 2 seconds). You must set throttle range again.
