Throttle Range Setting & Calibration
The ESC Unit in your X5 has been calibrated ready for use.
If you decide to remove or replace the unit or a new transmitter, or change the settings of neutral position of the throttle stick, ATV or EPA parameters,
etc.you will need to calibrate the ESC unit to fit the throttle range otherwise the ESC cannot work properly.
There are 3 points need to be set, they are the top point of “forward”,” backward” and the neutral point.
A)
Switch off the ESC, turn on the transmitter, set the
direction of throttle channel to ”REV”, set the “EPA/ATV”
value of throttle channel to “100%”, and disable the ABS
function of your transmitter.
B)
Hold the “SET” key and then switch on the ESC, and
release the “SET” key as soon as possible when the red
LED begins to flash. (Note 4)
Note 4:
If you don’t release the “SET” key after the red LED begins to flash, the ESC will enter the program mode, in such a case, please switch off the ESC and
re-calibrate the throttle range again from step A.
C)
Set the 3 points according to the steps shown as the
pictures on the right side.
1)
The neutral point
Move the throttle stick at the neutral point, and then click the
SET key, the green LED flashes 1 time.
2)
The end point of forward direction
Move the throttle stick at the end point of forward direction,
and then click the SET key, the green LED flashes 2 times.
3)
The end point of backward direction
Move the throttle stick at the end point of backward direction,
and then click the SET key, the green LED flashes 3 times.
D)
Throttle range is calibrated; motor can be started after 3
seconds.
Check the LED Status in Normal Running
Normally, if the throttle stick is in the neutral range, neither the red LED nor the green LED lights.
The red LED lights when the car is running forward or backward and it will flash quickly when the car is braking.
The green LED lights when the throttle stick is moved to the top point (end point) of the forward zone or backward zone.
Check the Lipo Cells Setting if You Are Using Lithium Battery
If you are using Lipo battery, we strong suggest setting the “Lipo Cells” programmable item manually to avoid the over-discharge problem.
In normal case, when the ESC is switched on, the motor will emit several “Beep” tones to express the cells number of the battery pack. For example,
“Beep-Beep-” means 2s Lipo, “Beep-Beep-Beep-” means 3s Lipo, etc.
Alert Tones
1.
Input voltage abnormal alert tone: The ESC begins to check the input voltage when power on, if the voltage is out of the normal range, such an alert
tone will be emitted: “beep-beep-, beep-beep-, beep-beep-” (There is 1 second interval between every “beep-beep-” tone).
2
.Throttle signal abnormal alert tone: When the ESC can’t detect the normal throttle signal, such an alert tone will be emitted: “beep-, beep-, beep-”
(There is 2 seconds interval between every “beep-” tone).
