Programmable Items
1. Brake: Enabled/Disabled. Default is Disabled
2. Battery Type: Lithium (LiIon or LiPo)/Nickel based (NiMH
or NiCd). Default is LiPo
3. Low Voltage Cutoff Reaction. Default is Soft Cut-Off.
4. Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC): Low/Medium/High. Default is
Medium. LVC behavior is different for different battery
types is and based on the battery type selected.
If Lithium battery type is selected, the cell count of the
battery pack is calculated automatically. The cutoff voltage
(per cell) is; Low - 2.85V, Medium - 3.15V, High - 3.3V
Example: If Lithium battery type is selected with High LVC
and a 3 cell LiPo battery is connected, the ESC will detect
the cell count and set the LVC at 9.9V
(3.3V per cell x 3 cells).
If NiCd/NiMH battery type is selected, low/medium/high
settings represent 0%/50%/65% of the initial pack voltage.
0% means the low voltage cut-off function is disabled.
5. Start Mode: Normal/Soft/Super-Soft. Default is Normal.
Normal is preferred for fixed-wing aircraft. Soft or Super-
soft are preferred for helicopters.
IMPORTANT:
If the throttle is lowered and brought up
again within 3 seconds after the initial startup, the restart
will be temporarily changed to normal mode.
6. Timing: Low/Medium/High (3.75°/15°/26.25°). Default
is Low. Low timing or medium timing is suitable for most
motors. High timing values can be attempted on your
power system to maximize power, but may result in excess
heat or erractic behavior. Be sure to complete thorough
ground tests if you increase the timing, and lower the
timing value if the motor screaches or stutters, or if testing
results in temps over 180 degrees (F) on the motor.
