‘Auto timing’
setting is automatically adjust the timing degree according to motor’s
rotating demand. 0º; 2º; 4º; 6º; 8º; 10º; 12º; 14º; 16º; 18º; 20º; 22º; 24º; 26º; 28º; 30º.
(This setting can be only set via software ‘Hifei V4.xx . If you want to upgrade your
old software .please download Hifei software from

Cutoff type
Cutoff type settings decide the way in which the ESC cutoff output to brushless
motor when the LVC works, or temperature/ signal-lost protection works.
‘Hard cutoff’ :
when the battery volts discharges to the set LVC value or soft protec-
tion works, the motor will shut down immediately. Motor can be restarted by closing
the throttle to the lowest position and re-move the throttle as normal.
‘Soft cutoff’:
when the battery volts discharges to the set LVC value or soft protection
works, the ESC will slowly reduce motor power to zero, you will notice a decrease in
power and it is time to dock.
Startup type
‘
Soft start’:
very soft and smoothly start the motor, it will take more time.
‘Standard start’:
start the motor at normal speed, it depends on the motor’s quality
and dynamic response.
‘
Fast start’:
start the motor fast, it is recommended for racing.
PWM rate
8KHz
is recommended for most brushless motors.
12KHz
is recommended for low inductance motors. (e.g. 8,10,12,14 poles brushless
outrunner motors)
16KHz
is recommended for very low inductance motors. (e.g. 16,18,20,24 poles
brushless outrunner motors)
Note: a. The poles mentioned above is the magnetic poles of brushless motor, but not the stator
numbers of motor.
b. High PWM rate is easier to make motor produce more heat. Cooling jacket for motor is very
important, and please be more carefully to choose high PWM rate.
c. It is strongly RECOMMENDED to have bench testing and choose appreciate parameters for
your configuration before assembling the ESC to hull for running.

Possible reason
Shoot methods
The ESC started to smoke right
after it was powered on.
1. Backward installation of batteries.
2. The input voltage was beyond the ESC
operating voltage.
1. Refer to the "+, _" mark (on the ESC/
battery) and plug the battery in.
2. Refer to the user manual and plug in a
suitable battery.
The ESC was unable to start the m
otorafter it was powered on. And n
o sound was emitted from the moto
Poor contact between the ESC and battery
connectors.
Reconnect all the connectors between
ESC and battery or replace those
connectors
When connect ESC to battery,
there is no power beeps emitted
from motor.
1.The battery voltage exceeds the range of
ESC’s working voltage. May it is too low
or too high.
2.Motor is damaged, or the ESC is not
well connected with motor.
1. Check battery’s voltage and change
suitable battery pack.
2.Check the connectors, ensure ESC is
tightly connected with motor. Check
motor whether it is good.
Motor shut down suddenly even at
full throttle or when not decrease
the throttle.
1.Battery voltage discharge and drop
down to the set LVC, ESC cut-off output
to motor to protect the battery.
2. Over-heat protection
1. Please stop the running and change a
new battery pack.
2. Stop running for a while until ESC is
cool down, check if water-cooling works.
The ESC was unable to start the m
otor after it was powered on, but th
e motor beeped "B, B, B, ..."
There was no throttle signal output from
the TH channel of receiver.
1. Check if the transmitter and receiver
are well bound.
2. Check if the throttle cable has been
plugged into the wrong channel or
reversely plugged into the TH channel on
the receiver.
3. This ESC has no BEC output, a
separate battery or UBEC is needed to
power the receiver.

Connect ESC to PC
Step
①
: Correctly connect ESC‟s Wifi wire/to USB adaptor wire to USB adaptor
Step
②
:Plug the USB side of USB Linker to one of computer‟s USB ports
Step
③
:Run software “Hifei V6.xx”.
Note: ‘Please read USB adaptor user manuals for more information.

: Plug the USB Adapter to an USB port of PC.
V6.0 tab 5 Upgrade
In
tab 5,
you can upgrade ESC‟s firmware if there is a new firmware for the ESC be
released.
When upgrade the ESC, it needs to connect the cable to receiver with upgrade
cable together. (Pls refer to the below diagram)
Each ESC has specific firmware and be different. You have to make sure the firmware
you chose is correct. Otherwise possibly causing ESC damage.

Install Hifei software
Download the setup software of „Hifei V6.xx‟ from website
(Support column)
and finish the
installation according to the popped-up window guide.
When installation is finished, „Hifei V6.xx‟ software icon
is auto saved on computer
desktop.
Note: a. If PC OS is Windows 7,8,10, it is suggested to install V6.xx to administrator.
b. If you once changed PC font to big size, then it needs to change it to normal size. Because big size
font would possibly cause software interface cannot be showed in full.
Note: a. The parameters with
*
behind are the ESC’s default settings.
b. When the ‘LVC’ of ESC is set at ‘Auto’ detect, after the two power beeps the ESC will beep
the number of Lipo cells which the auto detect feature detects, and the red LED on ESC will
blink in accompany with the beeps. ‘3.0v’ is the default cut
-off voltage of per Lipo cell when
the LVC is set at ‘Auto’ detect.
Eg: If you connect the ESC to a 4s Lipo battery pack, the motor will firstly emit
♪
♪
, then
detect the Lipo numbers
♪
♪
♪
♪
, and the red LED will blink four times. The low voltage
cut-
off is calculated as ‘12.0V’.
c. Please ensure only when the battery packs is fully charged and it can set the LVC at ‘Auto’,
it is recommended to set the LVC at actual Lipo cells once the battery pack is over 4S cells.
Low voltage cut-off
The setting of LVC can protect battery from discharging too low and causing
permanent damage to battery, especially for Lithium polymer cells. It is
strongly recommended to set the LVC carefully before running.
Cutoff voltage/ cell
The setting is to set the low voltage cut-off of each Lipo cell.
e.g. If set the LVC of per Lipo cell at „2.8v‟, the LVC is set at „2s cells‟, then
the cut-off voltage of the whole battery pack is “2.8*2”=5.6v.
Timing advance
Brake type
‘Brake disabled’
setting will close the brake function
;
‘Soft brake’
will provide 20% of full braking power.
‘Hard brake’
will provide 100% of full braking power.
‘Low timing’
setting adjusts the timing at the range of 0º~15º, recommended
for more lower pole count brushless motors (such as 2 poles, or 4 poles). It
gives more power and slightly less efficient;
‘Middle timing’
adjusts the timing at the range of 5º~20º, recommended for
most brushless motors. It gives a good balance of power and efficiency;
‘High timing’
adjusts the timing at the range of 15º~30º, recommended for
higher pole count motors. (such as 8, 10, 12, 14 poles or higher brushless
