Powering up the ESC for the first time and setting the Automatic Throttle Calibration:
The ESC features Automatic Throttle Calibration to attain the smoothest throttle response and re-
solution 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 it 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 maximum 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 maximum position.
2. Connect the battery pack to the ESC.
3. When the ESC is first powered up, it emits two sets of audible tones insuccession 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.)
* The second set donating 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 pro -
gramming mode.
4. If within 5 seconds, the throttle stick is lowered to its minimum position, an audible tone is emit-
ted 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 desire 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 propel -
ler or pinion after you have confirmed that the settings on your radio is correct.
• Never use ruptured or punctured battery cells.
• Never use battery packs that are known to overheat.
• Never short circuit battery or motor terminals.
• Always use proper insulation material for cable insulation.
• Always use proper cable connectors.
• Do not exceed the number of cells or servos specified by the ESC.
• Wrong battery polarity will damage the ESC and void the warranty.
