Built-in Intelligent ESC Safety Functions
1. Over-heat protection: When the temperature of ESC exceeds 110 deg C, the ESC will reduce the
output power to allow it too cool.
2. Lost Throttle signal protection: The ESC will automatically reduces output power to the motor when it
detects a lost of throttle signal for 2 second, a subsequent loss of throttle signal beyond 2 seconds, will
cause the ESC automatically to cut power to the motor.
Powering up the ESC for the first time and setting the Automatic Throttle Calibration
The ZTW ESC features Automatic Throttle Calibration to attain the smoothest throttle response and
resolution throughout the entire throttle range of your transmitter. This step is done once to allow the
ESC to “learn and memorize” your Transmitter’s throttle output signals and only repeated if you change
your transmitter.
1. Switch your Transmitter ON and set the throttle stick to its maximum position.
2. Connect the battery pack to the ESC. Wait for about 2 seconds, the motor will beep for twice, then
put the throttle in the minimum position, the motor will also beep, which indicates that your ESC has got
the signal range of the throttle from your transmitter.
The throttle is now calibrated and your ESC is ready for operation.
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 the
status of its programming state.
* 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 denoting Brake status. One beep (*) for Brake “ON” and two beeps (**) for Brake
“OFF”.
*The ESC is now ready for use.
Entering the Programming Mode:
1.Switch your Transmitter ON and set the throttle to its maximum position.
2.Connect the battery pack to the ESC.
3.Wait until you hear two short beeps (_ _**) confirming that the ESC has now entered the program
ming mode.
4.If within 5 seconds, the throttle stick is lowered to its minimum position, an audible tone is emitted
confirming that the throttle calibration setting has changed. If the throttle stick is left in the maximum
position beyond 5 seconds, the ESC will begin the sequence from one function and its associated
setting options to another. (Please refer to the table below to cross reference the functions with the
audible tones).
5.When the desired tone for the function and setting option is reached, move the throttle stick down to
its minimum position. ESC will emit two beeps (**) confirming the new setting has been stored.
6.The ESC only allows the setting of one function at a time.
Therefore should you require making changes to other function, disconnect the battery pack and wait
5 seconds to reconnect the battery and repeat the above steps.
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.
