LED
When the ESC is connected to a battery it automatically determines which type of motor is connected
(sensor/sensorless and communicates this with LED.
This step is already done from the factory and does not need to be done before driving. But when changing radio or
receiver, a new calibration needs to be done. If the radio has a end-point-adjustment on the throttle, it has to be set at
100%.
1. Turn the ESC of and turn on the radio.
2. Press and hold the ”Set” button on the ESC and then turn on the power. Hold the button approx. 4 seconds until the
orange LED shines with a steady light.
3. Input full throttle and the red LED will begin to flash. Hold until there is a ”beep” sound.
4. Input full brake and the orange LED will begin to flash. Hold until there is two ”beep” sounds.
5. Let go of throttle input and place in neutral and the red LED will begin to flash. Wait until there is three ”beep” sounds.
6. The LED will stop to shine. Turn off the power and restart the ESC to check that throttle and reverse was calibrated
correctly. If not - repeat the steps above.
Throttle range calibration
The ZTW Program card with LED display is easy to use and convenient to carry. All of the programmable functions are
shown on the program card.
1. Turn on the ESC. Remove the Signal wire and plug it into the top-socket on the Program card, wait for 2 seconds until
the LED is ON. The first programmable function will be shown, if an error occurs, please re-connect.
2. If ESC is not connected with the batteries, the Program card should be connected with another power supply,
the range of power supply is within 5.0-6.3V.
3. Press the button “Menu” on the Program card and select each programmable function. At that time the number of
the programmable function will be displayed on the left of the LED, the current value will be displayed on the right
side. Then press the button Value to change the value and press the button OK to confirm. At the same time the Red
indicating LEDs of both program card and the ESC blink. Turn off the ESC, the modified settings will be saved in the
ESC’s memory.
4. Press the button Reset to restore the default settings.
Using the ZTW program card
ZTW ESC can be adjusted with a program card (option) to your driving style. Factory defaults are marked in gray boxes.
1. Low-voltage protection:
Set the voltage of cells when ESC will cut off the power to protect the batteries (LiPo).
When using NiMH this does not need to be activated. Note: As factory default the protection is turned off.
It must be activated with a program card (option) before using LiPo batteries.
2. Running mode:
1. Forward without reverse. 2. Forward with pause, then reverse - ESC needs throttle to be in neutral
for 2 seconds before reverse can be activated. This is to protect the transmission in the model.
3. Forward with reverse - in this mode the model can go forward and reverse, but has no brake.
3. Motor timing:
Adjust the motor performance and driving time. Low timing = lower performance = longer driving
time. High timing = high performance = less driving time. Value 5 should be used with caution!!
