This is the page where you set up your
ESC Protection Settings.
Update the firmware
PROTECTION MENU
CUTOFF DELAY:
Adjusts the amount of time that it takes for protection to engage if a lost signal is
detected. Recommended value is 5,000ms.
MINIMUM VOLTAGE:
Adjusts the minimum Voltage of the ESC.
If the ESC detects the minimum
voltage that is chosen, the ESC will reduce the overall RPM to the Cutoff Power % set below.
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE:
Adjusts the maximum temperature of the ESC during flight. If the ESC
detects a temperature that it higher than the Maximum Temperature, the ESC will reduce the
overall RPM to the Cutoff Power % set below.
MAXIMUM CURRENT:
Adjusts the maximum Amperage of the ESC during flight. If the ESC
detects a amperage that it higher than the Maximum Amperage, the ESC will reduce the overall
RPM to the Cutoff Power % set below.
CUTOFF POWER :
Adjusts the overall amount of RPM drop for when any of the following
conditions are met:
MIN VOLTAGE, MAX TEMPERATURE, MAX CURRENT, BATTERY MAX
CAPACITY.
(See below for clarity)
BATTERY MAX CAPACITY:
Allows the user to enter a desired amount of battery capacity- which
when met will trigger the BATTERY MAX CAPACITY protection, and then drop the RPM down by
the CUTOFF POWER %. It is very useful to set this instead of a timer to know when your battery
has been drained to a pre-set level.
(See below for clarity)
For example, let’s say a user enters 3.7Ah into
BATTERY MAX POWER
. When the ESC has detected
that 3.7Ah (or 3,700 milliamp hours) of the battery has been consumed, the ESC will cut the main
power down to the percentage that is entered in
CUTOFF POWER.
This means, if a pilot is flying
with a headspeed of 2,000 RPM and enters 85% into
CUTOFF POWER
with 3.7Ah entered in
BATTERY MAX CAPACITY
, after 3.7Ah has been consumed, the headspeed will immediately drop
down to 1700 RPM and stay at that headspeed until the pilot lands and shuts down the ESC.
** Do not set the parameter “0” into
CUTOFF POWER
,
BATTERY MAX CAPACITY,
MIN VOLTAGE,
MAX TEMPERATURE
or
MAX AMPERAGE,
this will not turn off the protection but conflict the
internal setting **
FW List: Firmware update
Select the latest firmware to update the firmware. if it happen firmware corrupted, please unplug
all cables and reconnect, then repower the ESC, now update the firmware again.
After few times it will process the update procedure as normal.
